“I experienced multiple timelines.” “My whole world shattered for two hours.” “And it was the most scary, disturbing experience in my life.” This is one of the wildest stories I’ve ever heard. One night, in the middle of the night, Hollywood producer Brent Friedman’s entire sense of reality broke.... He just shared this mind-blowing story with Jesse Michels: “I’m at an Airbnb in LA one night.” “My day job is I’m working on a Call of Duty game.” “And I get a chime on my Slack.” “It’s like 1:00 in the morning.” “So I read the question, and … answer it.” Then he heard another chime. “The person’s like: what you said makes no sense.” “I’m like, okay, maybe I’m tired. Let me read what I said.” But what he saw on the screen was a totally different message than the one he had just sent. “So I correct it and I send it back.” “And then … he’s like: now you’re really confusing me.” “I look and I read it again, and … his original message is different now.” “I’m like, okay, this is weird … am I hallucinating?” So he went to a different Slack conversation with his creative director. They talked “all the time.” But now, he doesn’t even recognize the conversation. “We’re talking about things I’ve never heard of before.” “This is not the reality that I am living in.” “Now, I’m starting to get a little shaky.” He starts to wonder if he’s having a psychotic break. “Or I’m thinking to myself, do people get Alzheimer’s, like, overnight?” “What is happening to me?” “So I go to a different device.” “I go to my phone.” “I’m thinking, I’m gonna look at the texts from my wife.” “And we’re talking about a dog we don’t have.” “I’m starting to really freak out now.” “I’m checking, like, my heart’s fine.” “I’m pinching myself, I’m not dreaming.” “I’m doing all these checks just to make sure this is really happening.” “And it really is.” “And every time I go back to the computer, it keeps changing.” “So I’m like … I’m gonna shut down all my devices, I’m going to just take a shower.” “And I’m going to hope and pray that … when I wake up in the morning, everything will be reset.” When he’s in the shower, he hears a voice say one word: “Timelines.” After that, he went to sleep. The next morning, he opened his devices again with a sense of dread. “I boot everything up, and everything is back to normal—but only 99%.” “There’s a few weird little references that feel like artifacts left over from another timeline.” Jesse Michels American Alchemy Brent Friedman Bryce Zabelshow more
