I was reading a Bulgarian book a few months ago and today I stumbled upon a bookmarked page with this part on it (translated from Bulgarian to English so it may be a bit weird):
---
While falling asleep, he thought, to die, actually might not be that scary. You just fall asleep and disappear forever, was the last thought, before sleep wrapped around him.
In his dream, he saw a baby. It was in its mother’s stomach and in some mad way was conversing with her.
“Mum, do you believe in life after birth?” it asked.
“Of course, my boy,” she replied warmly. “Life after birth exists and it is wonderful. Soon, you yourself will understand.”
“You’re being silly, mum. There can’t be life after birth!” The baby was shocked.
“But, my boy, I am there now. Believe me – there is life like this. Here there is only light, we walk on our legs and eat with our mouth. You’ll like it, you’ll see.”
“It’s not possible to walk with your own legs. Neither is eating with your mouth. Why do we have this cord, then? No, you can’t trick me, that there is life after birth. Plus, no one has returned from there. So life just ends with birth. That’s it.”
“Believe me, son. There’s life after birth. You yourself will find out. When you’re born, you’ll meet me. I will wait for you there. And I’ll still take care of you and even love you even more.”
“But, mum, you can’t exist after my birth. When that day comes and I’m born, everything will end and you will also disappear.”

I don't know, maybe it's just crazy in my language, but I remember going WHAAAATTT, so, yeah.
What's the weirdest thing you've read?
