I always walk in on Wednesdays because I have a night class after work and don't like leaving my bike there. I've walked and cycled this route hundreds of times but today I suddenly realised I'd gone into a weird fugue, taken a wrong turn without noticing and had no idea where I was.

Maybe my subconscious was rebelling against going to work and tried to derail me onto a path to somewhere better.
