Journalist: The time is 6:32pm, third of January, 2016. This is session two of An Interview With The Old Boy. You made some extraordinary claims in our previous session, can you empathise with people’s skepticism?
Old Boy: Yeah, I empathise with the skeptics. In a lot of ways, I’m skeptical myself. I don’t know who I am or what’s real, you know? but it’s not so different to you or anyone else. Prove to me that your not locked up in a looney bin like this, dreaming out your entire existence. Prove to me that this universe we live in isn’t just a silly simulation, you know? A creation. A young alien who’s just trying to pass their fifth grade science project or something. You can’t prove anything, no one can, you know? All I know is I.. I think therefore I am, and so on some level I know I exist. I could fall asleep tonight and I could wake up as someone else.
Journalist: Start the story from the beginning. Can you describe the events leading up to the first.. Incident?
Old Boy: It was like, 3 months ago.. in your time. A friend from church had gotten a hold of a vial of LSD. We were pretty stupid and naive. We hadn’t even touched alcohol, you know? We had this like, romantic idea that we were about to flip reality on its head and change our lives for ever. After about five hours, I feel asleep listening to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. That was when I had the first dream.
