March Feels Like The Month The Year Becomes Real
- Christine and Em note March often feels like the month when the year 'settles' and people adjust to the new year mentally, tying temporal perception to a seasonal milestone.
- Em prefers a waxing gibbous and both discuss how moon phases influence mood and curiosity about timing.

- Ryan drove three and a half hours through rural Midwest cornfields at night and suddenly saw a full, enormous moon that made his phone lose service and removed all lights and exits for about 15 minutes.
- After normal sky returned, his drive took 1.5 hours longer and he later learned the real phase had been a new moon, leading him to call it a possible "ghost moon" or implanted screen memory.

- Years later, on a full moon, Mare and a boyfriend encountered a figure with a beaked nose and black eyes that morphed into a signpost, prompting them to flee and stop using the field.
