As a writer, I know that some things that really happened to me ... would be completely unbelievable in a novel. What´s your story?

#1

How we decided where to live after graduation: We had a map of our entire country and a wind-up toy car that we let drive over the map on the floor. When it stopped, we drew a line around the car and in the middle of the area was a medium-sized city - in which we have now been living happily for 25 years.

1. I was boating on a lake and it’s pretty sunny outside. But as I’m riding along I see a shiny silver thing. It wasn’t a plane and it wasn’t a helicopter since it didn’t make noise. UFO!!!

2. Boating again, but we were anchored this time. I was eating Goldfish and accidentally dropped one into the water. A huge fish swam up and ate the damn thing!!

3. Just recently, I was in a Target parking lot and I saw a grown-ass man carrying a full-size mannequin on his shoulders as if it was a damn child. I hope he didn’t go into Target with that on his shoulders.

Only in Michigan, y’all.

There was this one time when I was 15 and I was walking to the park which was a block or two away from our house. Well I had almost got to the park, this guy who was probably like in his late 20's or his 30's started following me. I had reached the park, he was still following me, then he suddenly stopped, started dancing, then turned and left. That was the weirdest thing ever and I didn't tell my parents or anyone because I'm pretty sure they wouldn't believe me that that had happened.

Pretty creepy, especially when you are only 15. But luckily he was just dancing

Someone told me a big military secret once, because she was so worried for her husband overseas, and just had to tell *someone*! I agonized over anonymously giving the story to the press but didn't as it might have put people in serious danger.

Once, a client showed me how he could move things with his mind. He had a cube of clear resin with a coin imbedded inside. No wires, no electricity, nothing attached. He stared at it, without touching it for about 5 sec and the coin started to rotate. I picked up the cube and examined it, couldn’t find anything but the solid cube. He also claimed to be a shape shifter, but i told him I already see enough of those, so never mind.

A friend of mine told me that he once went to a big party where everyone was dancing, drinking and having fun. He was standing there waiting for a couple of friends, next to the disc jockey, when he suddenly saw all the cables on the floor in the sockets that led to this one thick cable that was plugged into the carrier socket in the wall ...
He felt an irresistible urge to pull the plug. And he did it.
The music was off immediately, everyone looked disturbed and confused. Then the security guards stared at him and he had to escape as fast as he could. Luckily they didn't beat him up.
He couldn't explain it later. It was a nice evening and everything, he had been looking forward to the partying too, but the urge to pull the plug had been stronger ...

A friend of mine gathered hundreds of spoons from our school cafeteria over a few weeks and made a spoon army. They were all named James Patricia the Helicopter and she was very protective of them. I actually still have them because she gave them to me after she moved away.

Great story! It´s like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife ... :-)

That the friendly bus driver unzipped my cocktail dress because I couldn’t get hold of the zipper myself. Nowadays wouldn’t be appropriate to do such things but I was very thankful back then!
