They never approached. Only seemed to watch.
Honestly, I didn’t think they were really watching me until I accidentally bumped into one at Kroger. He was standing by an endcap and I wasn’t paying attention and hit him with my cart.
He looked shocked then hurriedly pulled an item off the endcap and left.
I wouldn’t have thought much of it but the endcap was for feminine products.
I didn’t really think it was about my “super power” at all. It hadn’t been used since the night I won’t speak about it.
I also thought it may have been IRS agents. Maybe I was doing something wrong on my taxes or something like that. But that would have been H&R Block’s fault, not mine. All I did was import my W-2.
I was paranoid but sane enough not to ask anyone if they noticed the men in black with sunglasses. I didn’t want to seem crazy. I was also half- hoping that someone else would bring them up.
But a funny thing happened.
I stopped seeing them.
And I didn’t notice at first that they were no longer around.
So I definitely wasn’t living in the Matrix, under an IRS audit or a human-alien hybrid. Everything was back to normal.
But as you can tell from all the foreshadowing I’ve been doing. Normal didn’t last. Not by a long shot.
It was probably a month after I had seen the last agent or whatever when everything changed.
I didn’t know it was them at first.
