Mandela Effect



I have arrived, I am not sure where,

I am here. I cannot explain how or why? I can tell you where I come from but not how I got here.

My world was like this one, but not the same.

I come from a world where humans were born male or female, not shim or sher.... I come from a land of basketball and videogames. A world where people were people, not androids or robots.  Where am I and how did I get here?

People where I come from were kind, before cruel, they asked where you are from and how you are before stabbing you in the back.

There are no rules to this game. I am here, I am wondering why, I am curious, I am depressed. There is a tomorrow but it is not here, it is elsewhere...

Khajiit??? elsewyr???

Anyway, drunk guy from another universe signing off...
