  "Ma`am? Are you awake Ma`am?" There`s a cop standing over me.

  I start. What the fuck? I look around. Shit, I`m on the ground. I try to get up, but my clothes aren`t on right, and I fall on my face. Shit.

  "Are you okay Ma`am?" the cop repeats.

  "Yes." I mumble. Fuck off, I think.

  Fear sobers me a little. I get my clothes on right and stand. There`s a lot of people running around. Fuck! I`m going to jail.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  The cop asks me a bunch of questions. It slowly dawns on me that he`s worried about me. I calm down a little, and give him what he needs to leave me alone. I`m okay. Nothing happened to me. Yep, I`m drunk. No, nobody attacked me. I`m not crazy, hurting, or whatever. Sleepwalking`s a bitch.

  He offers me a ride home, but fuck that. He nods. "Okay. Just& Be good to yourself, okay? We`re gonna get through this."

  I nod seriously at his pep talk. Weird.

  I walk to Candy`s. There are so many people running around, it takes me a while to realize it`s four in the morning. Everybody`s looking up at the moon. Fuck, that`s not the moon! I fumble with my phone. Every feed is lit up. A new planet appeared out of nowhere two hours ago. New planet. Scary close to Earth. Out of fucking nowhere.

  I pull up my full lab right there on the street. I call Doc-Danger. I get no answer. My stomach hurts. I`ve never tried to force my way into Doc-Danger`s feed. I do so now. There`s no need, I have full access. He`s gone. He just disappears two hours ago. He fucks me in the woods, pulls up his lab, and disappears.

  I pull up the God Machine. It`s gone too. Two hours back, there is activity in its logbook. In the same millionth of a second, it answers all the impossible questions. Then it disappears.

  My chest hurts. Like there`s barbed wire around my heart. I kneel down on the street and weep.
