I just went out to dinner with my family, and in the ladies' room, painted on the wall, was "The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed..." I asked my dad to go into the men's room and see if there was anything painted on the wall. He gave me a weird look, but did it. The men's room had, "If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost."
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Non-migraine-related, I see things that aren't there out of the corner of my eyes a fair amount.
Yeah, a quick google is telling me that with an aura, sparklies, waviness, lines, and even repeating patterns that "unroll" like a window shade are common, but not seeing things that aren't there. This could just be a coincidence. Or it could have really been Jesus in the dog food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's as best as I can explain it.
Thinking more on it "I coulda swore I just saw..." is a thing I've experienced, but just chalked up to weirderies of the brain.
Huggy, you're involved in crime! How could you???

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or it could have really been Jesus in the dog food.
That seems the most likely, really.

not your mom's socks.

I think you have a country-western hit on your hands.
Auras, wavy lines (occular migraines), olfactory migraines, and once -- and hopefully never again -- an abdominal migraine. But no seeing actual things. More not seeing things as the blind-spots arrive.
Hoping it's just a coincidence.

I'm one of the olds that has Netflix DVD service still. I figure unemployed means watch 'em until I can't afford 'em.

I very often see things when exhausted from serious lack of sleep ( doesn't happen that often, travel mostly.) I'm acutely aware they aren't there-they look real, but somehow I know they aren't. I don't react anymore, just go huh. Figure it's just my brain misfiring.

Should surprise no one, mostly cats, the hallucinations.
