Everybody has them! What are some of the more surreal movie-like experiences you’ve had in your life?
My best one would probably be the fall of 2003, my gf and I were staying in Chicago for a couple of days. We didn’t go back to my friend’s apartment to sleep one night, and instead decided to sleep under a large sculpture in a park which was right next to lake michigan, in downtown Chicago. We woke up early, before the sun rose (probably a little before 6am) and it was starting to get light outside. We started walking down the street back into downtown and the streets were completely EMPTY. No cars, no people, nothing. Like a movie where the whole population of the earth has died and we were the only survivors. I guess it was empty because it was so early and it might have been a Sunday too (can’t remember)
As we were walking, we passed a newspaper vending machine, and on the front page of the newspaper that day, the headline was: “Arnold Schwartzenegger elected governor of California”.
She and I just looked at each other and screamed! It was like we were in some kind of bizarre alternate future like in the movie “Running Man”
Unforgettable experience
So what’s yours?
