About a month ago I bought a package of AA and AAA batteries from a gypsy woman who was selling them in front of the supermarket for about half what I’d pay for Duracells or Energizers.
She said they would be the best batteries I ever had, truly amazing, I’d have to see what they could do to believe it.
The haggard woman with her piercing eyes was ripping me off, I was sure; but I found myself handing her a fiver and took the batteries.
They’ve been in my drawer until just now when the remote for my two year old Samsung TV finally petered out.
I figure what the hell, I’d try the gypsy batteries. I put them in the remote, pointed it at the TV, and pressed the red on button. Nothing happened for a few seconds.
Then a slight shock went up my hand and arm and I felt light headed, a tingling sensation ran up my spine and seemed to spread over the surfaces of my brain.
I smelled ozone in the air. The dogs started whining.
I could feel blood coursing through my veins. I looked at my hands and could see through the layer of skin to the blood vessels, muscles and bones.
Then a wave of relaxations and contentment flowed through me. Everything looked clearer in the room than ever before. It was as if my vision had improved 100%
Then the TV made it’s usual beep and turned on to MSNBC, where it is set all of the time. They were discussing the election.
Then they cut away to a Trump rally.
Only instead of Trump on the stage there was a six foot slug with a fish mouth making loud gurgling sounds.
Now I understand!
