Here’s the thing about living in the US: you feel like you’re in a movie. I’ve seen so many films and TV shows set in the home of the brave that in my mind, Macy’s and 7/11 are not real stores, just sets in sitcoms and action films; pick-up trucks are props, not actual modes of transportation; the FBI is a fictional organisation of superheroes (or villains, it depends), not the guys who occasionally to take a different route to get to the Library. Honestly, the impression is so strong, whenever people speak, I look down, waiting for the subtitles to appear.
And so I can't shake off the vague suspicion that this whole thing is somehow less than real. It doesn’t help if the screen of your computer occasionally spontaneously displays messages like these:
Aw, c’mon. At least tell us what the substance was!
