The surreal absurdity stemming from a mundane life...

Mary Jane had gone on another trip. This time she came back with more than just groceries from her adventures from the day.

And when I say adventures I mean the boring everyday tasks most of us get stuck doing!

Every day Mary Jane had to deal with chronic pain. Sometimes the pain was so bad it hurt to move and had her in tears.

From one minute to the next she wasn't sure if once she stepped outside her home the air outside would trigger her pain.

She never knew what aisle she would be in, or what item she was about to grab off the shelf, that would be her last before yep you guessed it more pain.

She often would pop a gummy to help manage her pain. She had lived with pain for nearly two decades and all the pain meds in the world couldn't help.

As she arrived back home her need for relief grew stronger and stronger. So as she sat back on her couch and turned the TV on she reached for the only pain relief she knew.

It was Friday and everyone who knew Mary Jane knew what that meant. It was Hawaii 5-0 day and a night of Magnum P.I.

This was the one day where Mary Jane could pretend she was of all places in Hawaii; where the weather was always warm and the sunshine could bring out her smile.

Suddenly she had a craving for soft baked cookies and marshmallows. Something she had seen in a movie once, tried it, and fell in love with.

Her youngest said to her, "You know these cookies crumble." Her response, "I know that's why I make sure I'm sitting down when I eat so they fall on my lap. Then I can eat the crumbs." He says back to her "That's some real fat people ish right there."

Then she thought to herself... not only that but if I stand up I can share with the baby cause my oldest let's his kid eat off the ground. I know how horrible of me like he deserves his own cookie!

By now she was really feeling the pain relief starting to kick. The rush of euphoria and giddiness wasn't bad either that she started to experience.

Her senses felt heightened; it was like she was part of the tv show she was watching. She felt a bit of dizziness and a tingling sensation in the back of her head.

She began to worry. She thought I just wanted a little bit of relief from all my chronic pain. I don't want to end up permanently dumb as a side effect of something that went horribly wrong.

She went for her second snack of the night...Curly fries and Salsa Con Queso. She thought curly fries and cheese the best combination on earth. If you haven't had Curly Fries and Cheese ... you have not lived my man!

Hours seemed to pass by and Mary Jane started to drift off, she soon found herself in La La Land. At first everything seemed fine.

She and some friends were traveling. They were playing a game where the individuals were each pretending to be something they were not. It went bad, real bad, real quick!

All of a sudden she was running from little goober babies and their moms with blue green tentacles that expanded. You can't out run them even if you try. They could morph when they drank their special enzyme water.

A fog of air or mist wafted through the streets. As if there had been sneaky individuals putting it out into the atmosphere infecting libraries, hotels, and daycares.

It was like war of the worlds, the end times, everyone getting in line at the airport trying to check out from this ungodly nightmare. Just to be assigned more cover stories in the game they had been playing.

Now Mary Jane was a botanist agriculture architect going to New Sierra Leone trying to find a man named Charlie.

She ends up telling Charlie how she had a fight with an alien child about losing his parents. She said to him I've lost my kids, that hurts more. She then screamed at the alien child "Go ahead and try to kill me."

She ran towards the pool and then knew she would be in even more trouble. So she ran out the door screaming for help from his shape shifting squid-like babysitter.

A babysitter who she had an encounter with earlier. Mary Jane had physically fought and detained her from doing her job of hurting someone else.

She eventually got tackled and slimed out in front of the building in the grass while running for her life... bugs and gooo were now in her mop like looking hair.

People continued to gather their things. They tried to figure out what had happened. When did this alien invasion start?

One person had found a video tape at the library showing some kids having a story read to them. You could see the light flicker. A man who had a huge headset on was reading what sounded like lines from a narrator of an old war movie.

He went on to say, "I remember different parts of the night. Being around family and friends from my youth who were all grown up. Offering me Vodka, an elixir or cure. Saying hell yeah pour me some. Then I found myself eating watermelon sour sugar gummies and zebra gum with the wrapper still on it."

The old video tape began to grow staticy and then it just cut out. Mary Jane woke up the next day jotting down what she could remember from her dream the night before. Thinking to herself damn what did I watch on TV last night before bed. That's the stuff Sci Fi Movies are made from!
