Does this ever happen to anyone else?
I will be going about my life in an ordinary fashion, and suddenly start perceiving my actions are part of a rather trite scene in a second-rate movie involving only walk-ons.
I will come home, with the news on the car radio; juggle a few items to carry into the house; unlock the door, walk over the the table to put things down; walk back to the door the close it, and suddenly think -
‘this is where the serial killer is behind the door’.
It’s not a paranoid or panic reaction; I don’t live my life imagining bad things that can happen; I am not afraid to take showers.
Just every now and then I suddenly imagine myself as the Person in the Scene who is just going about every day business right before a Critical Event occurs.
I thinks this is a result of standard staging techniques; when does one ever see a person just being normal except immediately before a Critical Event? Or maybe I’m a nut job.
But does this ever happen to anyone else?
