Back when I was 14, I watched Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, where it was revealed he got his supernatural stamina and durability from the thurisaz rune (called the thorn rune in the movie) scarred on his chest. Being a dumbass teenager, I thought "Hey, I'll invoke this supernatural diabolic power, it'll be fun". So I grabbed the closest pen, which happened to be red, and drew the rune on a piece of stiff paper that came from a Reese cup package, and tucked that into my jacket's breast pocket.
That was Thursday afternoon. I stayed up late that night watching tv and playing vidya, then stayed up later. Wound up not going to sleep Thursday night. Well fuck it, I'll go to school without sleep, I've done it before. But this time I wasn't tired. Also I neglected to eat anything, and didn't develop an appetite anytime during Friday. Get off school, come home, start doing shit I do, and didn't go to sleep Friday night either. Nor Saturday.
I spent three days with no sleep and no phone, only drinking a little water, without feeling a bit of fatigue. I realized how fucking weird it was Sunday morning, and started to get worried. I had toyed with demonic horror movie magic I didn't understand, and it seemed to be working. Perhaps I was putting my soul in jeopardy? So I went and found the rune in pocket of the coat I'd since taken off, and burned it. I then lay down in bed, instantly went to sleep, and slept 23 hours until Monday morning.
It was among the weirdest things that ever happened to me.
