The thing in the window.
Once told me that there was a reason for everything. No matter what happened to me, it was all part of the grand scheme of things. I've only ever heard people say that about bad things, and in my particular case the bad thing was Insomnia. For months I had either not slept or hardly slept at all. I would spend the night lying awake staring at the ceiling. I would fall asleep in the office and lag behind in everything I did. Then, one day, I began to grow comfortable in the dark and solace of the night.

Light Switch
My brain constantly terrorizes me, holding me hostage to my own imagination. The images it shows me teeter between make believe and reality. Even when I take a breath and tell myself it’s fake, my body and my nerves react. Sometimes I jump, sometimes I hide, sometimes I scream or call for my partner. The odd thing is, I know they are fake. I always know what is real and what is fake, but it doesn’t change the fact that I see and feel the horrific images from my brain.

December first, 2022. Fredonia, Wisconsin. It's not long before 11 p.m. what's more, subsequent to working a drawn out day, Ken B. is out for a walk. So I was strolling outside, it's actual dim. We don't have streetlamps or any such thing nearby. Out of nowhere, something runs above Ken in the night sky. So he takes out his wireless and catches this. A gathering of four lights immediately streaked across the sky. They showed up from behind me, went across the sky, you could see somewhat glimmer of light just before they vanish. Then five additional lights moving somewhat more leisurely make a similar frightening movement. It was somewhat of a frightening encounter. I'd mess with you in the event that I said it wasn't. The next night, Chris Nowak is 40 miles south in Greenfield, Wisconsin, where he keeps these baffling lights overhead.
