When I was young I vaguely believed the entire world, practically everything I experienced, was a crafted charade produced by adults. I envisioned a conspiracy governed through meetings and phone calls when I was asleep. It was all pre-planned that I would pass a red van and then a blue Mustang on the bus ride to school. When my first grade teacher dropped her chalk while writing at the board, I knew that had been carefully arranged before. I didn't think there was any evil intent to ths, just that the whole world was a make believe situation designed around me. It was more narcissism than paranoia. And I expected that when I was older I would be called into service to pretend for other young people.
Long after I ditched this belief I still would play around with the idea, imaging the logistics and consequences of such a thing.
