Have you ever had a good massage? A common technique is to hold your tense muscles in place for 20-30 seconds. The muscle can't stay tense under pressure for long. They eventually relax.

Liminal places are more unnatural than most. When humans create one, the bounds of reality are stretched and tense. By staying too long, something has to give. In this case, it was the bounds of existence. Your experiences were from nearby realities.

Good thing you didn't fall right thru. You probably had a few close calls you didn't even notice.

You'd do best to stay right here. Empathy, compassion, and general civility are rare even in our own world. You saw that in Club Red.

If ghouls and ghosts are coming after you, don't look like prey. Look at the junk the partiers dropped. Is there a scary mask? Armbands? Beads?

Make a costume with it all, but not a friendly one. Imagine yourself a new, threatening, persona when you put it on.

Maybe the prey should become the predator.

You should backtrack it to the source. Start with your sister's phone. Is it doing anything else odd like a glitching screen or an app she didn't install?

Did it go to anyone else?

Get a tech to look at it in depth. If it's a virus, everyone makes mistakes. Did the virus dev leave any clues?

How might she have gotten it in the first place? I'm worried she's making friends with bad people. Really bad people.

I fear you are hallucinating. This can be easily checked.

On your next "episode", take a picture or ask a random person what/who they see in front of you. Mumble something about new glasses or poor eyesight as an explanation.

If you have the money or are in a better country, also make a shrink appointment.

Well you may have a parallel dimension bleed scenario here. But first things first.

Why are you working so much? Those are crazy hours! Is your blood pressure good? Get enough exercise? Do you date or have non-work friends? People underestimate long term cardiac health and chronic stress. Those things can kill you.

Take a vacation! Just first, leave a post it note for your secret roomie to buy his half of the groceries and pay his half of the rent! See, things are looking better already :)

But if you do want to date, don't bring them home. Wacky sitcom shenanigans will ensue.

Do most of the pics have a creepy/sexual vibe? If not, something else may be going on here.

Maybe you're more special in this world than you think. Do you have any large gaps in your memory? Do you remember ever being a child?
