norris was just a guy
he went to work every day just like billions of other people
but he felt, deep inside, that he was different
one day he was on the train with his phone and his backpack, with a few thousand other people, when he began talking to the people standing and sitting near him
saying things like
i am different
i am the center of the universe
you will all hear about me someday
if i close my eyes i could make you all disappear
i deserve better than this
most people stared straight ahead and ignored him, but a few offered friendly or soothing words. like
you’ll be all right, or
just take your meds, dude
after a while norris calmed down
for a few days after that some people would recognize him and think, is that him?
is that the guy who went completely berserk on the train the other day?
but the incident was quickly forgotten
except by norris himself, who thought about it every day for the rest of his life
