[She had been relaxing at home, a cup of green tea in one hand and a laptop propped in front of her when the numbers seemed to come full force at her again. It was easy to type them out, a quick string on her screen--and it changed things.

The first few things she sees are just messages. Questions and answers about these numbers from people she's never met. But she presses past it. There's something about a mine and wills and suddenly Leola is not sure what she's stumbled into.

Her typing is hesitant at first.]

Did I stumble into a forum? I suppose I could have picked up the numbers from one of my students and this is an elaborate joke. A marketing campaign for a movie maybe? It's clever though I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from this. A movie about people trapped in mines or something? Isn't that a little off? Too soon?

And really subliminal messaging was proven to be impossible despite what fiction leads you to believe. So I'm not sure how I came by these numbers. Perhaps you could enlighten me. Or I suppose I could just ignore whatever this is.

Classes are out for the summer, I think I'd rather read than get sucked into some silly forum goose chase.

Sure does. I honestly feel bad for the guys whose bodies have changed or who suddenly remembered something unpleasant in their lives. Ugh, so awful.

I haven't had the dubious pleasure of terrible visions. I sort of wish I had, then maybe I'd be easier to convince.

As someone who recently gained one or two of those, I wouldn't recommend it.

I just feel I might understand things better. Or have more empathy at least.

Well, there's something to be said about gaining experiences for yourself, I guess.

Let's just hope you don't suddenly gain visions of, I dunno, blood and ruined buildings. Just as an example.

I'll take that as completely not a personal experience and simply a hypothetical example.

But here's hoping it's not.

Knowing what kinds of weird crap exist here, I probably won't be surprised.
