I'm Insane For Sure
Trick question: What do you do if the Voice in your head suddenly, out of the blue, just gives you an address and tells you to go there?
Well, any normal person would probably check themselves into a mental hospital.
Unfortunaty, I'm not normal and thus don't have that luxury. So here I am, flying to wherever and wondering whether or not a mental hospital is really what I need . And here the flock is, blindly following their insane leader, as always.
" You're not insane, Max." Angel flew closer, trying to comfort me, although her words just made me more confused inside.
I grunted. " It's possible."
" And we're not following you blindly." Her reassuring smile turned into a pout.
" Do you know what to do? No? Then you're as blind as bats." I coasted along, my eyes scanning the ground for the place that we were supposed to land. " And I'm not any better."
" Hey!" Gazzy called, flying in circles high above me. " I see it! The mansion!"
I flew to where he pointed, and sure enough, there it was. We landed in the wide front lawn. There were kids all over the place, running, jumping or teleporting here and there.
" Whoa." I said. " This must be, like, mutant central."
" Awesome." Iggy breathed, after hearing Gazzy's description.
" So what do we do?" I mumbled, more to the Voice than the others.
I don't know if it was just me or if I actually heard the Voice give an exasperated sigh. Go up and ring the doorbell, Max. It said.
I went up to the door, the flock following me closely. I took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
Only then did I realize that a) I had no idea what this place was, b) I had no clue what I was doing here, and c) How was I going to explain myself? I could always say, Oh yeah, the Voice in my head told me to come here. This doesn't happen to be a mental hospital, does it?
Turned out I didn't need to say anything. Life is funny like that.
'Cause the person who opened the door was someone I had never expected to see again, and yet was very, very happy to see.
