No, you shouldn't be worried, but I am after reading that post and the image it evokes. Ewwwwww!!! (You do know that a fishy smell is indicative of bad bacterial growth, right? Again...ewwww!) Try giving her a dose of benedryl. But just to be on the safe side, keep that epi-pen handy. :P So...I'm out visiting a friend in the middle of NOWHERE! I'm not sure I'm in the right place, but how many can there be out here in the land of the forgotten? I'm amazed I'm even getting cell reception, although it has been a bit spotty. Anyhow, the vibe here is just...weird. First off, when I got here, my friend wasn't anywhere to be seen. The door was unlocked though, so I figured she must have left it unlocked, knowing I'd be there soon, while she went off to do who knows what. Then again, do you need to lock up a place like this where there is no sign of human life in any direction for days? I had been running late when I left, so I skipped breakfast (yeah, I know, the most important meal of the day, yada, yada) and I was famished when I got here. I figured she wouldn't mind my rooting around in her kitchen for something to eat. Well this is where I get my second indication that something is off. There are bowls of chili on the counter. Very thoughtful of her, anticipating I'd be hungry and all. That's just like her to be that way. But the odd part is that there were three bowls. She didn't mention anything about inviting another friend. OMG, I hope she isn't up to her matchmaking skills again because she sucks at it REALLY badly. I know her heart is in the right place, but that's about all that's right. I figured it would be okay for me to eat one of them. Well, the first one? Holy cow. It's like a five alarm fire going off in my mouth. I had noticed something sprinkled on top but I thought it was just a garnish of extra chili powder. Thank goodness she had some milk in the refrigerator. It helped. Kinda, sorta. So after my mouth cools down, I tentatively try another bowl. Wow. I don't think I've had this kind of bland in chili - ever. Who doesn't want a bit of spice in their chili? Why bother? Of course, maybe my palate was blown out from the first bowl. At any rate, I decide to give the third bowl a try. Yummmmmmmm!!! Awesome chili! Just the right amount of kick to it. It really hit the spot. But now I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyelids from slamming shut. Still no sign of my friend. I'm getting a bit concerned. But I gotta take a nap. I thought she'd have a guest room, but nope. Just one bedroom. And this is where the oddities continue because there are three beds in here! One twin size and a set of bunk beds. I was going to sleep on the solo bed but I think it's just a block of cement with sheets and a blanket on it. Nope, no sleep will happen on that thing. The bottom bunk bed? I felt like I was going to sink down into the floor. No support whatsoever and I need back support. So, even though I'm not that overly keen about it, I climbed up to the top bunk and fortunately it feels just right. But this whole thing is just odd! Maybe I'm not in the right place. Where is my friend? Who is this third? Should I be worried? I think I hear someone at the door.
