Okay Melissa Benoist, so something did go wrong breaking the land speed record

I know in the last thing I wrote I said nothing could go wrong. Boy, is there egg on my face. It took me about three weeks of pure sleeplessness as the dreams became clearer and clearer, and the directors of the show really commented on how oddly edgy my performances were getting. Whatever. I'm building it, and the dreams are getting progressively clearer on how each element of the car should be built and assembled to maximize its speed, and it's becoming beautiful in a way. It's a machine of precise engineering, of almost super precision.

In the middle of the night one night, I get done filming early because, like I said previously, I was really tested on the night that we were filming this bottle episode. It's not that big of a deal, this The Supergirl episode. Hailey and a thing locked me and a few of my friends in a vault, and I have to figure out how to get out. It's lined with Kryptonite. It makes sense. But anyway, boom, done, finished, great performance, and I'm out. I finally finish the vehicle, which I call Kent Car after me, I mean the character I play in a television show.

As I turned it on, oh, boy, do I feel the thing rev up. It's beautiful. The sound is almost like music, and I'm in the middle of the Vancouver desert, technically not a desert, the Vancouver desert, which is a giant building I bought with my residuals for the explicit purpose of making this and for doing this test, and boom, there I go. I break the record almost immediately, immediately, but then the problems start. It seems I've entered a sort of new dimension. I entered a brand-new dimension that I didn't know existed, and I was like, "Whoa, crazy." That's not even the craziest part of it. The dimension is super weird and hot and crap and stuff, and there's a lot of big floating monsters. I'll get more into that in my next little discussion.

But the real thing I wanted to talk about is I figured out who was sending the directions for the car, and follow me on this, because this one's going to blow your fucking mind, your freaking mind. You know who it was? Me, from the future. That's right. which is awesome. She has big muscles and she has an eye patch, and she says cool words like, "Check your six" and "It's coming up on you" and all that stuff, so yeah, today's going I would say pretty well.
