The Bench - The Significance of a Familiar Place
Mysterious Woman:
Ever noticed you come to the same park and sit at the same bench every time you go for a walk?
Michael:
It's only a park.
Mysterious Woman:
Why?
Michael:
Why what?
Mysterious Woman:
Out of all the parks in this area, why do you always choose this one? Why do you choose this bench out of all the others?
Michael:
I just feel something familiar with it. It's just a bench.
Mysterious Woman:
It's called déjà vu, Michael. You feel you've been here before, yet you can't recall when. That's why you keep coming back.
