some imperceptible plane went through my body from toes to

I opened my eyes. I was outside, on the level of the
third floor just opposite my window. The cloudless sky was

However, there was a table at the window of the room
that shouldn't have been there. But I didn't even stop to think
about that, as I was nevertheless still in shock over what was
going on. Concentrating on the situation at hand, I noticed a
glass with some kind of liquid in it on the table. I got the idea
of testing out how real the sense of taste would be. Still
totally surprised by the realness of everything, I went up to
the table, picked up the glass, and held it up to my eyes in
order to get a better look at it. I then hesitantly brought it to
