I found an extremely bizarre internet survey

Nobody knows what rock bottom truly is until they've hit it. Having just been fired from my minimum wage job and catching my now ex-girlfriend cheating on me with her boss the same day really put my life choices into perspective. <br><br>I had been out with a few friends drinking until I couldn't drink anymore. Then I went home and drank even more alone. That was when I first saw it. I don't know how I ended up on that specific website, but a part of me thinks it has something to do with the fifth tequila Popo. <br><br>\*\*\*THE OMNI CORP GENERAL INTERNET SURVEY\*\*\*<br><br>Those were the large, boing letters in the center of the page. I don't remember there being much else on the page except for a single "begin survey" button that seemed to flash like a lighthouse. From time to time I could have sworn I heard a sound that was similar to a lot of people whispering. I clicked the begin survey button and the screen went black. Now, because I was so drunk, it might have been my imagination, but the screen seemed black for an unusually long time, and the sound of the whispers seemed louder than it was before. I still can't remember exactly what the first question was, but I remember my answer. <br><br>\- You wake up with no memory of who you are. How would you react?<br><br>A) - I would immediately return to my normal daily routine. I'm not one to question things I don't understand.<br><br>B) - I would find a way to figure out who I was and where I came from. Maybe I had an important past.<br><br>C) - I would join a satanic cult and plot world domination.<br><br>D) - I'm already awake. This isn't real.<br><br>I chose C. Why not, right? My life was in shambles anyway. <br><br>\- You have a premonition that you or a loved one is going to die soon. What do you do?<br><br>A) - Kill myself. I wouldn't want to live without me anyway.<br><br>B) - I take a moment to appreciate the limited time that I have with my loved ones and reflect on the choices I made that led me here.<br><br>C) - I would spend my last hours doing everything that I can to ensure a good afterlife for myself and the people I'm about to leave behind.<br><br>D) - I ask one of my magical friends to see if they can change my destiny.<br><br>I chose A. See reasoning above. <br><br>\- You make a powerful friend. What do you do?<br><br>A) - I would use my new friend to acquire wealth and power.<br><br>B) - I would use them to make the world a better place.<br><br>C) - I would ask them for advice on how to better my own life.<br><br>D) - I would ask them a series of yes or no questions to learn more about the nature of the universe.<br><br>I chose B. I was starting to feel like I was being judged a little bit so I played it safe on this one. <br><br>\- You make a powerful enemy. What do you do?<br><br>A) - I find a way to defeat them.<br><br>B) - I try to make peace with them.<br><br>C) - I abandon my former life and run.<br><br>D) - I surrender.<br><br>I chose A. Again, why not? My life was already over at this point. <br><br>\- What if your enemy was you?<br><br>A) - I surrender.<br><br>B) - find a way to defeat myself.<br><br>C) - try to make peace.<br><br>D) - run.<br><br>I chose A. <br><br>The questions just kept coming, sometimes in the forms of paragraphs. Like the one where I had to read an entire passage from a fictional book about a king who wanted to conquer hell. I forget what my choices were for that one, but I remember being given the option to change my mind about something I had done earlier in the story, and I chose not to. <br><br>I made it through what felt like hundreds of questions. Some were as simple as "what is your favorite color", and some got so complex that I had to read through them 4 or 5 times to understand. <br><br>Finally, I reached the end of the survey. I clicked "submit" and my laptop battery died instantly. I fell asleep where I sat, on my couch, and didn't wake up until I had a pounding headache the next morning. <br><br>I thought nothing into it the next morning, until I saw one of my buddies at the coffee shop. The same friend I had gone drinking with the night before. <br><br>"Hey man, how did it go last night?" He asked. <br><br>"Nothing crazy. I went home and went to bed. You?"<br><br>"\*pauses\* did we not talk about how I thought you were acting weird?"<br><br>"Nope. I don't think we did."<br><br>"Well \-"<br><br>"\*interrupts\*" I don't know man, I just feel like we already had this conversation. You know what I mean?"<br><br>"\*pauses again\*" Yeah. I think I do know what you mean. It doesn't matter anyway, since the topic of conversation is gone now."<br><br>"Huh?"<br><br>"Never mind."<br><br>I finished my coffee and left. I thought about the strange conversation I had just had as I walked home until a woman crashed into me on the sidewalk. I'm not sure how I didn't see her, but I'm positive that she wasn't there until she crashed into me. <br><br>"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" She said as she picked up the coffee cup she dropped when she ran into me. "Here, let me help you." She added, as she used her free hand to dust off my jacket. <br><br>"No it's ok. I can get it." I said. <br><br>"I said I was sorry! You don't have to be so cold towards me!"<br><br>"I didn't mean to come off as cold. You just spilled coffee all over me."<br><br>"Stop defending yourself! I already said I was sorry. You're making this weird."<br><br>"Stop acting like I did something wrong! You're the one who just spilled coffee on me."<br><br>She stopped for a second, like she had just been punched in the face. Then she started screaming at the top of her lungs. <br><br>"I'M SORRY OK? DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME? I SAID I WAS SORRY!"<br><br>"I heard you." I said. "now are you going to stop screaming like a maniac, or do I need to call the cops?"<br><br>She stopped screaming just as abruptly as she had started. She looked at me for a second, smiled, and said "You're right. I'm so sorry." Then she turned around and walked away. <br><br>I watched her until she was gone, dumbfounded. I thought about the coffee she spilled on my jacket as I continued walking home. It occurred to me that I didn't see her coffee cup fall when she crashed into me. I thought back, trying to remember when she had picked it up, and realized that I had forgotten to bring my coffee with me when I left the coffee shop. <br><br>When I finally got home I checked my email to see if my former employer had sent me my w-2 yet. She hadn't, but there was something strange. An email with no subject, body, or sender. It was just a blank email with "RE:" at the beginning of the subject bar. <br><br>I thought about clicking it, but then again, I thought it was stupid to even be considering opening an anonymous email in the first place. I closed my laptop and went to take a shower. <br><br>I have never felt so alone as I did the day I took that survey. I feel as though my surroundings are staged, and every person I interact with is an actor. Except for me. I'm the only real person. I'm not sure if you will believe me, but I think that survey might have been something that it wasn't.<br><br>If you get the chance to take it, don't.
