Sign of the apocalypse?


In my bathroom there is an impression on the wall that looks like an image of something. It's been there ever since a shelf was taken down. It's been painted over but you can still see the remnants of it if you look closely.

A few years ago in my bathroom I had a shelf in the corner about 5 feet up the wall that was glued in and was used to hold razors and tooth brushes and whatnot. It was slowly coming undone so I decided to rip the thing down before it fell along with everything in it to the trash can directly below. After I took it down I noticed it left a ripped impression in the drywall underneath on one side. It looked very familiar but I couldn't quite place it. Later when it was being painted over it finally dawned on me what it was. It looked like the state of Illinois...where I just happen to live.


I grew worried this could be a sign of the apocalypse. I studied it intensely. I spent hours wondering what it's meaning was. I searched religious texts. I checked ancient prophecies. I consulted scholars of all disciplines. I found nothing mentioning the image of the state of Illinois appearing on the bathroom wall of a skeptic having any meaning. I was told I was seeing things. I let it slip from my mind. But in passing one day I noticed another impression just above the Illinois one. I got a piece of paper and traced the outline. I had a hunch on what it looked like. I threw open an atlas...and sure enough... there it was... Wisconsin! So now I had Illinois and Wisconsin on my bathroom wall. Not only that but they were in the correct geographical locations relative to each other.


Certainly this wasn't just a coincidence. I contemplated all the possible meanings to these clues. Did the spirit of Abraham Lincoln cause this? Was he trying to tell me he wanted some cheese? Was this a sign of an impending war between close neighbors, Chicago and Milwaukee? Would meteors strike these two states killing millions? I had no answer.


I was a victim of my own myopia. All I could see were these two states on the wall. As I pointed it out to a guest to get their input they observed yet another impression at the top and to the right of Wisconsin. I saw it now too. It looked like Kentucky. But that didn't make sense to me....of course none of this made sense. But if it were Kentucky, it would throw off the geographical accuracy of this growing map. Was this a sign of a soon to come extraordinary teutonic plate shift that would move Kentucky up on our spinning globe. Would Indiana be obliterated in the process or would it land some where in Canada? Would Hoosiers become Hosers, eh? I searched web sites looking for signs of seismological activity that my indicate this event was about to precipitate. Still nothing.


In the middle of the night as I got up for a drink of water and as I looked it over once more I had a revelation. It's wasn't Kentucky. It was the upper peninsula of Michigan. This made more geographical sense. The puzzle pieces fit more accurately than if it were Kentucky. I was sure now that this most recent discovery was indeed the U.P. of Michigan.


But I still has no reason as to why these things had appeared. I don't have reasons to this day....only questions. Look for yourself. Judge them, judge me. Do you see it too? If you have an idea what this means, be sure to let leave a comment. If it's something bad we all need to know! I outlined the areas in the first picture to show you what I'm talking about. The second picture I left untouched.
