Plan

Hello.

My name is Clip, and I’m currently a paperclip, but only because I angered a magician by mistake and got turned into one.

Originally, I’m a human, and I want to get back to being a human!

You probably want to know how I accidentally angered the magician who turned me into a paperclip, and so I’ll go ahead and tell you.

See, I was walking along one day and whistling a merry tune to myself, and then suddenly! a person who was near me said, “That tune! Nooooooooo!!!! You must be working with Spook if you know that tune!” and then he said some words that I guess were a spell and I was suddenly a huge paperclip instead of a human; and then he said, “There we go! No more whistling for you! And you won’t be a threat in your paperclip form.

Oh, and you might wanna rethink your loyalties, because Spook is big big trouble, dude…” and then he did another spell and transported! away before I could even respond!

This was quite a bummer, because I wanted to tell him that I had no idea who Spook was and I wanted to go back to being a human again!

Grrrr…

And I had just been whistling a random tune that I couldn’t even remember anymore!

But then I began wondering if perhaps this Spook character had entered into dreams of mine or something and put the tune into my head there, because that might explain why the tune had seemed random to me but had been so recognizable to that paranoid magician.

Hmmm…

Yeah, maybe it had been planted into my head inside of a dream…

I mean, I usually couldn’t remember my dreams whenever I’d wake up from them, and so it would make sense that Spook could maybe put the tune into my subconscious so that I’d whistle it but the dream still wouldn’t be something that I would just be able to remember in a way where I could tell someone what happened in the dream.

But why in the world would this Spook character want to do that to me?…

I mean, it was very strange…

And maybe the more likely explanation was that I had just happened to come up with the same tune to whistle that Spook’s apparently a fan of…

Yeah, that seemed way more likely…

But, still, maybe I could solve this entire mess by recalling that Spook dream (if there was a Spook dream), and so perhaps a trip to a psychologist would be warranted?…

Yep!

That seemed like a good idea!

IF Spook had actually planted that tune in my head during a dream THEN perhaps a good psychologist would be able to hypnotize me or something and be able to speak with my subconscious during the hypnosis session!

And if the psychologist couldn’t figure anything out then maybe I’d just have to search for another person who could do magic so that I could get myself turned back into a human as soon as possible!

Very good!

I had a plan, and it was time to act on that plan!, and so now I was off to go find a psychologist who could hopefully figure out whether ol’ Spook had planted that tune that I’d been whistling into my subconscious through a dream or not!…
