Sugar

Date: 5/17/2025

Was in my apartment. There was an older lady out in the hallway that had... redecorated. There was one of those Jesus portraits that are sculpted to pop out of the canvas overtop of the entrance of the stairwell by my door, and another statuette the hung by her door. I'd talked to her briefly, and she apologized for the decor and said she could move it since it's so close to my apartment. I was uncomfortable (there was no way this was allowed on the lease as well), but I told her that I'm not trippin about it. As long as it's not on any of the walls directly on my apartment, I'm chill. She was delighted to hear that and thanked me. I asked her if she needed anything. I've never seen someone perk up like that before at the question, and she asked for some sugar and honey. It was so funny that she asked actually, because I was telling someone that I would love for one of my neighbors to feel comfortable enough to ask me for sugar or something. Society is just not how it used to be. I was so excited that I told her yeah and just invited her in. I had only a small inkling that it would be a bad idea, but she had been so nice that I pushed it away. She followed me the short distance to my kitchen where I tried to remember where I put my sugar. I opened the fridge and found it there, and the lady just kinda started scooping into my bag of sugar with a 1/4 measuring cup. I asked her if she uh... wanted a baggie? To put the sugar in? She was getting sugar all over my floor and just scooping without putting the sugar anywhere. I don't think she answered, but she somehow produced a mug outta nowhere and dumped the sugar in, then topped it off with some water and started drinking it. It immediately reminded me of that scene in Men in Black, and I really had to think about whether this lady was human or some strange alien thing. But then I was starting to think she was a demon of some sort
