When I was in 1st grade, I went to Imagine South Lake Charter for school. I thought school was SOOOO boring. I thought that the only fun in school was getting to be friends with people. But that was all before I knew I could step outside of my body.
It all started when I went into the bathroom one day to wash my hands before lunch. I went over to the sink, but it wouldn't turn on for some reason. I tried the other sink, but it was stopped too. I checked underneath and tried opening up a pipe, and it splashed into my face. It wasn't any ordinary water, it was dark black with blue waves in it. And it came out not by splashing, but by directly coming to me. When I was covered with it completely, it did not feel like goo, or water really. It felt like smooth liquid. I wasn't wet either. I was dry, with black and blue liquid on me. And it didn't drip off like water, it stayed on me. I was scared, but interested in this peculiar liquid covering me completely. I thought to myself, “what will happen if I wipe some off”? Well, that question had a very, very odd answer.
I thought of using paper towels, and ripped some off. Then, slowly and carefully, I touched my sleeve with it and immediately pulled back. In that spot, even the little bits that weren’t touched from the center of the paper towel, were gone. The edges left a clean, perfect circle of no liquid. And that wasn't all, the napkin had no black or blue marks on it. So I wiped myself down, threw the napkin away (even though there really was no need to), and started to leave. But then, when I looked down to see if my shoes were tied, and I couldn't see my body or clothes! I was invisible!
At first I was shocked. But then I saw my body walking down the hall to go back to the classroom. Then I realized what was happening: I was outside of my body. My body was going back to the classroom like everything was normal! What was happening?
So I tried chasing it back. But it was acting just like I would if I really was going to go back to class. So I lunged at it, but it walked past. I hit the wall, ready to rub my head and see how bad it hurt. But the strangest thing happened (how many strange things are happening to me today!?): I went through the wall. As soon as I was through, I opened up my eyes to find that I was visible again, and I looked like my body. But when I walked up to the teacher, she didn’t notice me! I was saying, “hello! HELLO! Do I exist to you?” And once again a strange thing happened. I felt my body to see if I existed, and I went right through myself. So looks like nobody could see me, but I could. What was going on?
I went back to check on myself, and went through the wall to my classroom. No one seemed to notice me, and my body was doing my work. Wait - what? I didn’t want to see myself get an F as well, so I went over next to my body and looked at the paper. As I was checking it, it looked like I was doing, well, perfect! So I decided to leave me alone and go play. And as I was leaving, I saw my body turn the paper in and my teacher, Mrs. Golem, say it was 100% perfect. So looks like I’m good with my work. And my body just had to sit at the desk doing nothing (like I would if I was in myself). So now I was going to go explore!
So then I went to the playground, but had a better idea: play pranks on the middle schoolers. So the first thing I did was go to the middle school building computer lab 1. And (with my great luck today) there were middle schoolers in there. So I hit a key, but my hand went through. And the key didn’t press down. So I tried thinking about my goal, and hit the key. It pressed down! The middle schooler was freaked out. “Wait, guys did you see that? My computer - never mind, I have to be hallucinating. I have to.” So I kept on trying really hard for each key I pressed, until most of the middle schoolers went to go to inform their teacher. And so I didn’t know if he knew anything about the odd water, and I left quick - right through the wall!
And for the next couple days, I got better at using my power to choose when I feel like matter to something or not faster and faster until I could do without even thinking about it practically. So I finally decided to try to go back inside of my body.
So it was a lot easier to do then I thought. I simply thought about wanting to do it, and boom I was in. So I decided to tell my friends about it.
It took every single recess for two and a half weeks to explain everything to Isaias, Both Andrews, Jacob, Chris, Liam, And Josh. And after that, I had an idea. What if I could get them to be outside of their bodies too? So we all went into the bathroom at the same time (our teacher was very suspicious) and I tried really hard to get all of them to do it also. I couldn’t do it, and I needed to get them into it like I said I would. And so I remembered why I came in the bathroom and also what I was doing wrong. So I tried turning the sink on, and sure enough, it didn't work. So I took the screw out, and the weird water shot out of the sink, splashing all of them completely. They quickly washed off as I did, and sure enough, they were walking down the sidewalk at the same time as talking with me about how cool it was to be out of their bodies. And then we all went to explore the things that I did. And that was when everything went wrong.
So we were impressed that we could see each other and nobody else could, and someone tried to make themselves invisible to us, also. And while he was trying really hard, he accidentally made a hole in the playground, breaking the equipement. And a lot of people were trying to be invisible to us also so hard that they couldn’t hear the snap, and all of the playground equipment was falling with it all getting cranked. Everyone was just sitting there, mouths open. Then we all realized that nobody could see us, and nobody could have any proof it was us. And then things just kept on getting worse and worse.
Then we started to become visible to everyone else, because we felt it. Some were coming out of the classrooms to see what was the big racket, some calling 911, and some staying inside, scared to come out. And we all knew we were in big trouble.
The police were on the case, and we were definitely suspects. And we were going to have a huge punishment.
As soon as they were there, the police started asking us questions. “What are your names? Where is your house? Can I have your parents phone numbers? Here, go through this metal detector.” I was super scared, and everyone else was also. It was only a matter of time until we had to explain to the police about going outside of our bodies, and the weird water, and everything else. And that night, we had to go back to our houses, with everybody's parents waiting outside for us.
I knew I was in huge trouble. I couldn't play any sort of video game for 1 year. I couldn't see any of my friends for 1 year. I couldn't go in the pool all summer for 1 year. I was only able to come out of my room for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And I was definitely grounded.
So I was sitting in my room doing nothing, and I felt a little jerk inside my body. And I felt another. And another. And then a little poof my body completely felt all over. And then I knew what had just happened - I can go out of my body again! I didn't know if my friends could yet, so I kept quiet so the other kids we don't know cant hear us. I hopped out of my body, and ran triple speed to go get everyone else out of their bodies again.
So it wasn't that hard. I just had to really concentrate on it, and then I had them all out. So we ran away, back to our meeting spot (which was the town park).
We all got punished for what we did. Luckily it was our parents instead of something else worse, like the police. But there was one small thing I don't think the parents noticed - we could hop right out of our bodies and play again!
But that night when we all met up, and we decided to never, ever, ever go outside of our bodies again!
So it was all good, until a couple nights later, one of my sister’s sinks wasn't working. And I was NOT very excited to hear about that. And so my dad was trying to fix it, and right when he opened up the pipe, I rushed in front to block it, and asked him a question. The weird water started covering me, and the regular water started coming out of the top. And then he finished his answer and I ran quick. To my bathroom, shut the door, and wiped myself down as my whole body was getting covered.
50 Years Later
Remember before how I was talking about the sinks getting you out of your body? Now I’m 60 years old and it's been quite a while since I was telling you about the water. Nowadays, people just buy a 10 dollar spray at the store, and spray it on themselves to go out of their bodies. And you spray it again, your back in. I’ve had not much time to do much because me and my old friends are famous for starting this all up. And it was because a kid asked me if I had powers, and then I told him. But then he told someone else, and they told someone else, and soon the hold world knew about it. And now, people practically live outside of their bodies. But since so many people are getting out of their bodies, i’m starting to wonder if in the next few generations people will start to not even have bodies at all…
