In 2011 I was taking East Cuba. (Not West Cuba the supposed haunted one) road home late one night from Lake Zurich to Buffalo Grove. I was listening to a song called Shivers by a band called Helia. Part of the song just repeats "Save us" over and over. As I was driving down the dark, streetlight-less road, that's also one lane, I realized it felt like it was taking much longer to get from the starting end of East Cuba Road, to the end. I got stuck in what I can best describe in a 'Glitch in the Matrix.' An 8 minute stretch of road turned into what felt like several hours and I began to panic. With the Helia song just repeating 'save us.' Over and over. Eventually by the saving grace, I saw the street light of safety in Long Grove and went home, confused about what just happened. Still to this day, this memory has bothered me because I was 17 and sober.
