Strange Tennis

So, Sars told me to update and I will, because tonight I played tennis and it felt strange, surreal.

Tonight I could feel a sticky humidity that coated my skin, so the air felt warm and intimate and I couldn't get away from it.

Have you ever felt moments where you felt strange? Or you were caught in this weird time warp or alternate reality? Or is that just me? Anyway.

So I was playing tennis with by brother and dad and all the courts were deserted, so it was just us. Randomly, we would hear people talking without seeing them. While we played, there was also a robot voice that kept repeating something, like "fire, fire" or "water, water." Intermittently it would beep a couple times. This was both funny and creepy, cheesy haunted house style.

Because the air was humid and thick, things didn't feel real. Like my head was in a druggy cloud. I guess it's that feeling one gets when they smoke a really nice spliff.

So, I just decided I like nights like this. Weird nights. Like in high school when my friends and I used to play in an empty playground and every creak/crack/scuff was a potential stranger or alien. It adds some magic and mystery to life, when things can't be explained, such as disembodied robot voices.
