Case Report

A woman notices everyone in her town has been frozen in time. She calls the police. The TV turns on and an officer on the screensays “police department” She replies “have you seen what’s going on out there?” The TV replies “yes don’t worry it’s just the mothership returning to check on its sheepeople” She says “ oh my God I just wrote about this last night” The TV replies “ yes and thank you, and for that your sanity has been spared”

That sudden ice-cold realization—wait, she wrote it!—shivered right down my spine with dark, strange joy.

'Sanity has been' spared! Boom. Quick twist, cheap TV speaker, love the creepy absurdity.
