A man tapped me on the shoulder in the cookie and cracker aisle of the supermarket.<\/p>\n

This is the beginning of the deconstruction of everything I know.\u00a0Everything WE know.\u00a0The deconstruction of EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n

The man said his name was Thomas.\u00a0His name wasn’t Thomas.<\/p>\n

The man told me he was a\u00a0Philosophical Scientist.\u00a0I didn’t know what that meant but that didn’t matter because he wasn’t one.<\/p>\n

Thomas explained that he didn’t know who I was but that it was important for me to come with him to his office a few blocks away. He assured me I wouldn’t be harmed. His frail frame convinced me this was true. He told me I needn’t be alarmed of any theft or foul-play. He simply needed to explain something that he couldn’t discuss in public.<\/p>\n

I followed him.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why I followed him.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it was the sterile smell of his soft colored clothes that convinced me he really was a man of science. Maybe it was the way he spoke so vaguely succinct about this situation he felt so strongly about. Or maybe it was simply because I had nothing better to do.<\/p>\n

Either way, I set down my basket of produce and milk in the middle of the aisle and I followed him out the sliding doors of the supermarket and into the auburn rays of the evening sun.<\/p>\n

One important note: None of this actually happened.<\/p>\n
