They want to know when I first realized that I could change my world. That's not exactly how they posed the question. They asked "When did you first realize that you were disconnected from reality?"
That is a really stupid question, but not nearly as stupid as the questions they asked me in the mental ward. There everyone asked about how I handled the death of my parents and my three sisters in an auto accident when I was in the sixth grade. Now all these jokers want to know is when I "disconnected from reality."
I answered, "My first trip to the looney bin was my second year of college."
"What caused that?" they asked.
"When I started telling people that an alien was teaching the intro to psychology class," I answered. I figured I might as well give them the whole story. No one ever believed me, but I got a lot of pleasure out of watching their reactions.
I continued my answer. "Everyone else thought she was normal," I explained. "Everyone else saw just an average-aged, average height, average white woman. But what I saw on the first day of class was a green lizardy thing wearing lipstick. Asking my friends if they saw that was a mistake. Someone reported me to health services and I had to go see the school shrink. He arranged for a 72-hour stay at the local hospital's nut ward. But once those shrinks realized that I had no intention of hurting Mz Phillips-- or anyone else-- they said that I was not a threat to myself or others and that despite my delusions I could be allowed to return to my classes... providing that I met one on one with Mz Phillips and she allowed me back into her class."
There were two men in military uniforms sitting at a table behind the glass panel. The younger one had a rather large mustache. The older one had more insignia on his uniform and was clean-shaven. They both shook their heads slightly as they scribbled furiously on paper notebooks on the desk in front of them. I just laughed.
"Continue," one of them curtly said after they stopped scribbling, and I resumed. "Mz Phillips' office was in the basement of the psych building. I'm not sure why that was. Most of the offices were on the top floor. Maybe it was because she was new at the school. Anyway, I showed up for my seven o'clock appointment and she was curled up behind her desk on a large cushion. She motioned for me to sit down and I told her that the bright orange lipstick really brought out the red highlights in her eyes."
I laughed as the two men again began writing furiously.
"Mz Phillips," I continued, "wasn't amused. She gave a great huff of annoyance. I really expected fire to come out of her mouth, but nothing showed except her long, forked tongue. 'You really think I'm a Gornak, don't you?' she asked."
"I laughed slightly and replied, 'I don't know what that is. I just think you are a human-shaped lizard with green skin, red eyes, and a purple sort of hair.'"
The younger, mustached man on the other side of the glass jumped up and ran out of the room. The other was writing even more furiously in his notebook.
I laughed, then waited a moment and leaned forward toward the triple thick psi-resistant glass. "She looked very amazed," I said. "Her whole body shook as she said in a rather shaky voice, 'You can see me?' I just shrugged and nodded my head. She pushed a large red pill across the table along with a glass of water and said, 'Take this.' I didn't really want to, but it was as if there were a strong force making me pick up the glass and the pill. I took the pill and suddenly Mz Phillips was an average-aged, average height, average white woman. She looked at me and said, 'When the full effects of that pill take effect, you will forget all about this. And you will see me as a normal earth woman... like everyone else.'"
The other man had returned. There was an older woman with him who appeared to be a general or admiral or whatever. She sat down with the other two and said, "Continue with your story."
"OK," I answered. "I felt really weird for a few moments as the pill continued to do its thing, but then Mz Phillips reverted to her lizard form and I knew... I don't know how I knew, but I knew... that this Gornak had given me the wrong pill. The one she gave me was intended for another Gornak. It was intended to enhance the mind control necessary to hide among the humans. But I'm not a Gornak and the pill reacted differently with my body. It gave me... powers."
"What powers?" the female general interrupted.
"Powers that caused my second trip to the looney bin," I replied, shaking my head. "The next day I had a speech to give in speech class. I have always been very nervous speaking in front of people. The prof had told us that if nothing else worked, imagine the people sitting there in their underwear. As I got up to the podium, I did that, and it really helped calm me down... until a girl started screaming and ran out of the room. Then almost all the girls started screaming. One girl, who screamed especially loud, was naked as she ran from the room. Most of the men just sat there and stared, but a few also yelped and ran. I also ran, right into the arms of a campus security officer. 'I did that!' I screamed to him. 'I made all their clothes disappear!'"
"Another officer had arrived and he helped drop me to the ground and ziptie my hands behind my back. Mz Phillips came running up. She glared at me with her sharp crocodile teeth and then sort of waved her hand at the door to the classroom. Suddenly everyone had their clothes back on. She calmly told the security officers, 'He is having another break with reality. Perhaps you should take him directly to the fourth floor at the hospital.'"
I stood up to stretch my back and all three of the people on the other side of the glass jumped from their chairs and backed away from the glass.
"Relax," I said loudly, "I can control it now." I laughed and almost snorted, "That's what I did for the thirty days I was locked up. I practiced controlling it. I worked on little things, like the flavor of the Jello they gave us. I hated orange Jello and that seemed to be their favorite choice. So I changed mine to red, whatever flavor that actually is... and then to green... and then to blue. I tried blocking it, but whatever I thought, happened. Then I thought, 'I wish I could control this,' and suddenly the Jello stayed red even when I thought about it being blue. I thought about it being green, but it stayed red. Then I thought, 'I wish this was green,' and it changed color. I had somehow put a throttle on my power so things would only happen if I specifically wished them to happen."
"Why is there no mention of this in your records from that stay?" one of the men asked.
I laughed. "I told the psychiatrist that his book would get published if he ignored anything I said or did. He got a call from the publisher later that day. I promised raises to all of the orderlies if they kept my secret... big raises. And I straight out wished that the videos recorded by the security cameras would disappear. There was a very minor fire in the nurse's station the day I left. No one was hurt and nothing major was damaged, except the cabinet in which the previous thirty days worth of security and group therapy session footage was stored."
"Do you know why you are here?" the female general asked.
"Because I am a horny young man?" I answered.
