everything is up for interpretation. except for what i say. that must be understood exactly as i meant it
had a dream last night where I took a uquiz called “what do you serve?” and at first the questions were standard but as the quiz progressed they became more and more highly specific to me personally and the answers became more and more similar and I realised the quiz Knew me and was forcing me into being honest by giving me no other option so I tried to click out but it just went to the next question which was “are you the spider? or are you the web?” and it had an option for each but I didn’t click either so it then turned to a text box and I typed “I think I’m the fly” and the quiz paused for a while and then took me to a results page that said “you serve truth” and the description just read “what you know will kill you but you will die laughing” so like. good morning everyone I guess :/
Perhaps a niche trope but I love when a character has just escape a years long ordeal and tries to get in contact with people they know, only to meet strangers.
Going to his childhood home to find his family moved away, or died, and the house was sold.
Blindly stumbling home only for the stranger sleeping in her old bed to wake up and scream at her to get out before they call the cops.
Contacting a best friend and finding their number has changed; either the line is dead or the stranger sends back a confused ‘you have the wrong number!’ text or answers the phone and immediately the character knows something is wrong. Something has changed. The world has changed. So have they. And they are lost.

"I'm not gonna ask if you're okay, because I know you're not."
"Are you okay? Sorry, stupid question."
"Are you okay- oh. Oh! No, yeah, you're definitely not okay."
"Are you okay- Wait, is that... blood?!"
"I was going to ask if you're okay, but I think it's better if we just skip that and go straight to the hospital."
"I know you're not okay, but are you okay?"
"How not okay are you right now?"
"Can I ask if you're okay, or will you bite my head off for it?"
"Are you- Woah, there's no need for the death glare, I wasn't gonna ask that!"
"You're not dead, are you? Good. Just checking."
