    QBN user Utopian has contracted covid-19. Write a story about an experimental drug he had mixed himself which gave him weird side effects.

    When Utopian awoke from his fevered slumber, he was greeted with a most unusual sight. Instead of the usual four walls of his bedroom, he found himself in a vast open field, under a bright blue sky. Looking down, he saw that he was floating a few feet off the ground.

    "What the hell?" he said aloud, flailing his arms about in confusion.

    Suddenly, he felt a tickling sensation on his arm and looked down to see a small butterfly land there. He watched in amazement as the butterfly transformed into a tiny, beautiful woman.

    "Welcome to the land of the fairies, Utopian," she said, smiling at him.

    "But... how did I get here?" Utopian asked, still dazed.

    "You took a very powerful drug that we gave you," the fairy replied. "It was supposed to cure your illness, but it had some unexpected side effects."

    "What kind of side effects?" Utopian asked, warily.

    "Oh, nothing too bad," the fairy said. "You just have the ability to see and talk to us now. Isn't that wonderful?"

    Utopian wasn't so sure. He didn't know how he was going to explain this to his friends and family. Would they believe him? Or would they think he was just making things up?

    Only time would tell.
