The Nose

I woke up this morning with the feeling that i was not where i usually am. It was a strange sense of freedom, but also hesitation. I looked around my house, everything seemed normal, but then again this house did not feel like home. I ate breakfast with that same eerie feeling before heading out for the day. While roaming the streets, the weirdest thing happened... a man begun to chase me. I was not sure what to do, so i hopped in my troika and mushed away. It was not long before i realized that there was truly something different about that day and how i felt about myself. I decided to go to the cathedral and pray about it, since it seems to be a source of solitude for most. When i arrived at the church it was nearly noon and i found a small alter to kneel at for prayer; it was then that i saw the same man chasing me from earlier charging me now. He demanded that i belong to him and get back where i belong. I had absolutely no idea of the words in which he was speaking, but instead of being rude i simply did not say a word. He insisted on perusing this by telling me to get back where i belong with forceful gestures, so i decided to go. It was until later that the cops got me, i was simply taking a ride in my troika when the feds pulled me over. They were all screaming and insisting that it was in fact "me", even though im not sure who they thought i was. The next few hours was pretty hasy.. the men put me in a small dark room until they said it was time to go, and after that i couldn't see anything, feel anything, or think anything. I was nowhere, or maybe everywhere, i'm not sure. For all i know they could have sucked my brains out and served them in the nearest Chinese food restaurant. But oh well, there is nothing i can do about it now, i have no abilities. I dont know where i am, and i feel alone and afraid. I hope this doesnt last forever.....
