creepy weird fuuuuuuuu-
As a bit of backstory, this event took place over a year ago, the summer of 2012. My girlfriend at the time had just come back from a trip to Costa Rica. Wanting to spend a bit of time alone together, we went to her family's cabin on Molasses Pond in Elsworth, Maine to spend a week swimming, sleeping, cuddling while watching movies on the couch, and doing adult things. (Such as enjoying some fine wine.)
The first night we were at the cabin, I experienced the single most terrifying thing I've ever seen. We'd been up all day, doing stupid fun things like swimming, kayaking, watching half a season of House, a few episodes of Adventure Time, and to lower the IQ level a bit, we watched a bit of QI. (See, it's a joke, because QI is an extremely smart show.) Eventually, we got super tired and decided to go to bed. My ex fell asleep almost instantly, but I couldn't seem to drift off no matter what I did. I just laid in bed, thinking about how awesome our week together was going to be, deciding what I wanted to do the next day, and for some reason, wondering what Abraham Lincoln would think of Dubstep.
Suddenly, my ex sat straight up in bed, just staring ahead at the wall. "Annie? Everything alright?" I asked. Her reply came, "Nosotros. Estamos. Listo." My initial reaction was, "What the actual fuck?!" I asked again, "Annie, you okay?" She slowly turned and looked straight at me. "Nosotros. Estamos. Listo.... We. Are. Ready." She turned towards the wall again, and slowly lowered back to the bed. "R-ready for what?" I asked in a shaky voice. "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" She started snoring. More insistently I asked, "NO! READY FOR WHAT?!" She was out cold, and I never got a reply.
The next morning, I told her about the incident, not remembering the exact words she said, just the "We. Are. Ready." bit. She asked what exactly she said. "Nostro Esta-something Liste?"
"Nosotros Estamos Listo?" She asked. "Yeah! That's it!" I replied. She said, "That's Spanish... it means 'We are ready.'"
Needless to say, I didn't sleep extremely well that night...
