a most curious incident

Today in my room, I suddenly and without warning found myself exempt from the law of gravity. I confess I was confounded, but as such an unprecented incident would cause disbelief in the most innocent person, I resolved, forthwith, to capture evidence of the evening's bizzare events. I managed to float over to the camera and snap a picture, but I found to my great dismay that as I did not touch the ground I could not comport myself in my usual custom.

I floated over to the kitchen, knocking my head against my door lintel on the way. My feline, Suki was most distratught and preturbed at my hovering figure and fled into her new kitty condo.
In the kitchen, I investigated the flourescent light fixture. I was amazed, when, picking up a box of breakfast cereal left out, that the cardboard container began to float with me as well! As fantastic as these claims are, I present the most scrutinizing viewer with undeniable photographic evidence.

However, I soon tired of my airporne composure, and spent a rather banal and unenlightening hour reading Newton's Principa Mathematica while hovering over the living room until, with as much warning as its onset, I violently found myself in the thrall of gravity and landed hard upon the carpeted floor.

I moved the blog again. I deleted the Tumblr account and moved everything to Medium.com, a more writing-centric website. medium.com/@wende
