>be me, mentally ill NEET
>been obsessed with aztec god Xolotl for months, have tried invoking him
>be on a midnight walk
>notice streetlight flicker, think it’s funny because it’s like a horror movie trope
>try to make it flicker more, concentrating on Xolotl’s power over electricity and Ollin
>start thinking about how I’m under a powerline and this could go wrong, stop after a bit with no success
>powerline starts flickering right after I stop
>giggle because it’s like Xolotl is pranking me
>walk a little more
>notice an owl (could be another large brown bird) fly by a streetlight, headed east
>never seen that here before, try to take a picture but fail
>think about how owls have usually negative supernatural connotations across the americas
>think about Mexican brujas
>walk one minute more
>hear two loud explosions one right after another, see light on the trees
>seems to come from the east, where the owl went
>stand stunned, unsure of what to do or the cause
>wonder if this was gunfire and I should take cover
>wonder if I or Xolotl caused the explosion
>cop car passes by, no sirens on so it probably isn’t gunfire
>decide to go home
>hear more explosions later
>check internet in the morning can’t find anything
Fast forward to yesterday
>decide to check internet again to see if there’s anything new
>discover it’s this whole mystery and an explosion was heard that night for miles, one person spotted a fireball in the sky over 10 minutes before
>Xolotl is a god of heavenly fire
>But I experienced the explosions at significantly different times, and multiple rather than just one
