never miss another strange story subscribe and hit the bell sit back and get comfortable I have a few stories to share with you I've been having blackouts for almost a year now but no one seems to notice the first time was at my 16th birthday party my family threw for my cousin Adam his dad got him a DVD of a horror movie he loved and we decided to watch it it's only Adam had seen it before I was really looking forward to watching that movie but then I fell asleep just when he was getting started when I woke up the end credits for rolling everyone was talking about their favorite parts of the movie Denis was more into it than any of us Adam said about me and at the same time I assumed it was a joke for a while I thought I was just falling asleep at strange times then in geography class I blacked out like I always did when I woke up however I looked down to see a page full of notes on the lesson all in my handwriting it was like I wasn't actually gone just running on autopilot I tried to keep track of when I blacked out to see if I could figure out what could be causing it but then fall asleep and wake up to find my record is missing or destroyed I take notes on my arm fall asleep then find them scrubbed away someone or something was trying to stop me from understanding it I could feel myself losing grip on reality they didn't think anyone would believe me eventually I figured it out pattern was both simple and cruel anything that felt refreshing was being taken away from me anything that relaxed and recharged me was being stolen I would get the physical benefits of downtime by not the experience my stomach would be full after a blackout but I did not get to enjoy the meal it made my life absolutely miserable yesterday I finally broke down and told Adam everything while I was at his house we were hanging out while our parents were at the movies and then he asked me if something was wrong I just lost it I told him that I was having a breakdown and he offered to help Adam called our parents but none of them answer we knew where theater our parents were out so we decided to take the bus there tell our parents what was going on we took our seats on the bus and Adam put a hand on my shoulder and figure it out Dennis don't worry I was so relieved I could barely hold back my tears I finally reached out for help someone was actually there for me then closed my eyes just for a moment he was gone I was on the bus but it wasn't the same one it was the only passenger I looked down at my arm and saw something written on it in my own handwriting they will never find it do not make me do that again you [Music]
