It's all in my head...

An imaginary conversation between me and a fictional character named... erm... Bob... no, not Bob... uh... John, no John... ummmmmmmmmm, Francisco.  Sounds good. 

Me: Hey Francisco, how's it going? 
Francisco: Great!  What are you up to?
Me: Just trying to write this blog entry.
Francisco: Really?  You have a blog?
Me: Well, technically, but this is only my second entry.
Francisco: Oh, well... what's it about?
Me: It's about... stuff... what I'm thinking about, books I've read, people I've met, life altering experiences...
Francisco: Near-death experiences?!
Me: I've never had one of those.
Francisco: Oh.
Pause
Me: Have you ever had one of those?
Francisco:  It was weird.  I was out late at night when all of a sudden this blinding light comes out of nowhere and I was totally floating towards it, like, through the air!  
Me: Wow...
Fransisco: Yeah, and when I got to the end of the tunnel of light there were these people - only they didn't exactly look like people - they had this weird hair and too many fingers - but they gave me something to drink.  That was the best drink I've ever had in my life. 
Pause
Me: Then what happened?
Francisco: I don't know.  I woke up and it was morning.  
Me: huh...
Francisco: Yeah... crazy...
Me: You're sure it was a near-death experience?
Francisco: What else could it be?
Me: I don't know...
