not kafkaesque but unsettling and recent. my friends and i were hanging out in someone's building (can't remember the name for the type, but there is a name for it) and everyone except myself had passed out. i was on stims, so i couldn't sleep, but i had that weird muscle achey pain that comes from being awake for too long and figured, god knows why, that laying down was the thing to do.

sucked on my teeth and fidgeted for i think 5 minutes (who knows, time dilation) when i heard a sound across the room that i couldn't identify. "couldn't identify" quickly turned into "could definitely identify, oh god" and it dawned on me that someone was jacking off about 10 feet from me. my eyes had adjusted to the light, but i was faced away from the noise and i was filled with that same dread that you got when you were a little kid and you were certain there was a monster right behind you, so i didn't look to see who it was.

don't know how long the festivities took place (again, time dilation) but it didn't feel very long at all before i heard a new sound, and then spent the next what-felt-like-hours listening to a close friend quietly crying against that nauseating, sweaty metronome. the sniffles stopped when the guy did, or at least it had petered out by then.

didn't dawn on me how fucking strange it was until i'd woken up from my noonish crash and thought it over during breakfast.
