Okay… so, I don’t even know how to explain this one. I was heading past the old cabin ruins near Flatwoods when I must’ve crossed paths with someone who knew a trick or two about… well, let’s just say they messed with my head.
Next thing I know, my brain is foggy and I’m sitting in the dirt with one boot off, wiggling my bare foot around like it was the most natural thing in the world. Don’t ask me why. I was convinced it was important, okay?! I even caught myself holding my boot like a trophy...
My eyes still feel weird, like there’s a shadow of that trance lingering, and honestly? It freaks me out how easy it was for me to just… obey. No questions, no hesitation. Just a puppet dancing to someone else’s tune.
Vault-Tec never mentioned this kind of wasteland hazard. Guess I’ll add “getting hypnotized into making a fool of myself” right under “radiation poisoning” on the list of things to watch out for.
Anyway, lesson learned: if anyone starts waving shiny things in front of my face again, I’m keeping both boots on and running the other way.
