Noted previously my bafflement. Baffled why 05/10/2006 happened to me and why I am still stuck here. There is clearly an organization out there causing the baffling activity I discover and I am certain I have discovered only a small fraction of their global conspiracy
Recently, a new idea formed in my mind. Last night I think it was, maybe the day before.
In my mind, I am trying to precisely form a scenario that matches my observation about 05/10/2006.
Not to recreate that event.
To create something completely different and that represents what I want to do instead.
That is my only possible hope I can imagine for getting away from any of this.
Many years after 05/10/2006 there is the novel "Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch and the streaming-video adaption from about two years ago from now.
Viewed the first season and then read most of the novel.
Has really changed my view of reality and of how it might explain these circumstances of 05/10/2006.
I am thinking it is informative for me here in the real world.
Also influenced me is William Gibson's "stub universe" from his novel "The Peripheral" and also a video adaption available now on Prime Video, disappointingly canceled after the first season of episodes.
The newest episode of season 2 of "Dark Matter" will be viewed by me after midnight tonight.
Lately I am thinking again of 1985 "The Quiet Earth"
My examination of the season 2 debut of "Dark Matter" caused me to discover my interpretation associating those two works.
The 1985 "The Quiet Earth" would be a good remake and update.
The story in the film centers on those people becoming to exist in "this quiet Earth" because they had all (if I remember this part correctly) attempted suicide, successfully I would guess, at the moment of some sort of science project.
Personally, I would reconfigure it in a remake.
Perhaps a better story element is they were the only people in the world that were masturbating (successfully) at the same moment the science project kicked off.
If any of you out there suddenly find yourself alone in an empty world then we can all have a big laugh while professing our innocence

Zefram COCHRANE: Hey, that's a nice ship. Been trying to get her to go again? Well, forget it. It won't work.
Zefram COCHRANE: There's some sort of damping field down here. Power systems don't work. Take my word for it.

The Quiet Earth
From Wikipedia
The Quiet Earth is a 1981 science fiction novel by New Zealand writer Craig Harrison. The novel was adapted into a 1985 New Zealand science fiction film of the same name
John Hobson, a geneticist involved in a project concerned with manipulating DNA, awakes in a New Zealand hotel after a nightmare in which he is falling. His wristwatch has stopped at 6:12, along with all other clocks. He finds that all animals, fauna, and humans have abruptly disappeared following a phenomenon he dubs "the Effect".
After extensively searching for any sign of life, Hobson travels to the research unit where he worked to reactivate dormant genes in humans and animals using high-frequency sound waves and radiation. Hobson finds his supervisor, Perrin, in a radiation chamber, dead at the controls of the sound wave machine. The machine appears to have short-circuited, but there is no evidence indicating how Perrin died.

The Purple Cloud
From Wikipedia
The Purple Cloud is an apocalyptic "last man" novel by the British writer M. P. Shiel. It was published in 1901. H. G. Wells lauded The Purple Cloud as "brilliant", and H. P. Lovecraft later praised the novel as exemplary weird fiction, "delivered with a skill and artistry falling little short of actual majesty."
The story is about Adam Jeffson, a man on a polar expedition who discovers a mysterious and deathly Purple Cloud. In the wake of the massive global deaths wrought by the Purple Cloud, Jeffson becomes ruler of the world and builds a huge palace to his glory. He meets a young woman and the two become the heirs to the future of humanity.
The novel formed the basis for the 1959 American film The World, the Flesh and the Devil.
When he returns to his camp he feels nauseated after having smelled a peculiar peach-like odour. He also notices a moving purple cloud
The later parts of the book describe Jeffson's descent into mad pompousness: adopting Turkish attire, he declares himself monarch and burns down cities (including Paris, Bordeaux, London, and San Francisco) for pleasure. He then commits his life to one task, the construction of a huge and colossal golden palace on the isle of Imbros, which he means to dedicate as an altar to God and a palace to himself. He spends seventeen years on the palace, several times abandoning the work, until its completion, when he recognises the vanity of it.
While travelling through Constantinople, which he also burns down, he meets a twenty-year-old naked woman who is without the slightest knowledge of anything in the world. She continues to follow him, no matter how he mistreats her. Gradually, he accepts her, but forces her to wear a veil over her mouth. Her speed at learning astonishes him, so he teaches her to speak, read, cook, fish, and dress. The girl (who is unable to pronounce "r", instead saying "l") reveals that she had lived her whole life in a cellar below the royal palace of Turkey, and that she knew nothing of the world until she was freed when Jeffson burned down Constantinople. She becomes absorbed in the Bible and declares the humans who sought for riches as "spoiled".
Jeffson struggles mightily against his growing affection towards the girl, wishing to end the human race. At the end, when he leaves to go to England, she telephones him about the re-appearance of the Purple Cloud over France. He rushes to her, embracing her as his wife and now hoping to find a way to escape the cloud. She tells him to trust that God will not allow her to die. He concludes his writing by saying that he has accepted his role and that after three weeks have passed no purple cloud has appeared, and he looks forward to the two of them becoming the progenitors of future humanity.
