The Third Wave | Contradictions, Culture, and Conspiracy
Here's how it went. I decided to go see the lake during the storm and see if I could capture some photos of lightning. On the way some strange things happened. I began to see animals that appeared as if they were doing human things. My rememberances of those things are somewhat vague now as I was in a hurry to get to the lake. I decided it must have been all the rain that made it difficult to see and ultimately decieved my eyesight. Within ten minutes after arriving at the lake the clouds above me moved on and the rain stopped falling. The storm which was now quickly leaving the shore still produced amazing bolts of lightning. After photographing at the first location I moved north down the shore about fifty yards. It was very strange. Among the rocks there were daisies growing that appeared untouched by the storm that just passed over. Things were to continue to get stranger. After observing the daisies a while longer I looked up and noticed a single white bird swimming toward me from the direction I had just come from. It was far enough away that I could not make much out except that it was indeed some sort of water bird. As it got closer I was amazed and somewhat terrified to see that it was carrying an umbrella and wearing an old 1940's era business cap. (still a bit behind the times obviously...) After winning the battle for my wits, I quickly set up my tripod and with the thunder still rumbling and lightning flashing, took one photo before it swam on behind the rocks, never looking in my direction or making a sound. This whole incident would have had me questioning my sanity had I not been able to bring back a single jpg containing the proof. My only conclusion as to the occurence of these strange events would have to be an attempted conspiracy of the animal kingdom and their mother to overthrow the set of cultural standards humans have come to know as unique only to their species.
And now I share the only file that keeps me confident in my ablility to think and reason clearly and logically.
