The Phantom Whistler Game
Directions:
- Find a really great roof; two-story works really well.
- Wait until someone is walking by on the ground.
- Begin whistling. (Any song will do, but make sure it's a song and not just random whistling.)
- Watch the confusion.
Your
victim will look side to side, behind him/her, and all around. But s/he will NOT look
up, ever. If your victim looks up, he or she is not a
normal human. Do not be fooled. Humans think the world is ten feet tall. Anything that comes from
above that does not exist. The
sky is a pretty picture on the
ceiling. Buildings, unless they are in them, extend above their heads only
in theory. Thus, if they hear a sound coming from somewhere that is not around them, it is a
phantom sound that they cannot identify. They will either slow down,
confused, or they will speed up and try to get out of there to avoid being
disturbed further. They will forget about it
momentarily.
Should the person see you, or further, say "hi there," you should immediately befriend them and teach them how to play the phantom whistler.
