Day 576:<\/p>\n
I don’t know how to describe what I just saw.<\/p>\n
Okay, first of all, my day: dug holes, worked on hill, chopped down trees. Considering planting more trees.<\/p>\n
When dusk came I headed back home, only to find\u00a0two llamas tied together with a rope, wandering around outside my house.<\/em><\/p>\n First: llamas. What the heck?! There are llamas here?!?<\/p>\n Second: These llamas were, like, party llamas or something. They had fancy outfits on. And they had harnesses and rope on. So clearly, there’s\u00a0someone else here on the planet<\/em> because otherwise are these magical self-dressing llamas?<\/p>\n I will admit I tried to talk to the llamas, but only in the “who’s a good llama?” kind of way, not in the “I expect these llamas are sentient beings who would like to converse over my presence and housing” kind of way.<\/p>\n Third: there was some kind of grunting noise and bubbles. I thought it was the llamas at first but then I realized it was coming from the point right in front of the llamas, as if there was someone there. But if there\u00a0was<\/em> someone there, they were\u00a0invisible.<\/em><\/p>\n I, of course, did not believe in invisible people, in fact I would generally assume sentient llamas (especially in this place) before I would assume that there was an invisible person on the scene.<\/p>\n And then it weird.<\/p>\n Weirder.<\/p>\n See, I reached into my pack to see if I had any carrots, because, still believing that it was two loose llamas and that for some reason I couldn’t grab their harness, I was going to try to lure them to my house.<\/p>\n I pulled out a bunch of things, including a pile of emeralds.<\/p>\n And then the pile of emeralds disappeared.<\/p>\n I was too shocked to do anything but squawk incoherently.<\/p>\n And then a bunch of other things appeared — a whole variety of flowers, some pumpkins (!!) and ice (!!!)<\/p>\n SO I CAN BUILD AN ICE BOX<\/p>\n I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep an ice box with only a little bit of ice but I DON’T CARE, I HAVE ICE<\/p>\n AND PUMPKINS<\/p>\n I CAN MAKE SOMETHING TO EAT THAT ISN’T FISH AND CARROT STEW<\/p>\n I scooped up everything and stuffed it back into my bag and before I could stop them, the llamas –and invisible human? magical presence? llama-leading mosquito?– walked off. I chased them for a ways but couldn’t catch up.<\/p>\n I’m gobsmacked.<\/p>\n Totally confused.<\/p>\n THERE MUST BE PEOPLE HERE.<\/p>\n I need to find them.<\/p>\n Maybe they know how to get out of here!<\/p>\n I’m never going to get to sleep tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 576: I don’t know how to describe what I just saw.
