SHEBOYGAN – Gary Olson of Sheboygan’s life took a cosmic turn at Northstar Bar when he won $300 on a pull tab and instantly transcended into a being of pure energy.
“My voice is not mine,” Olson intones, his calm words reverberating through the bar. “I am the echo of eternity, the hum of creation itself.”
Patrons, visibly shaken, watched as Olson hovered above his barstool, his voice seemingly coming from everywhere at once. “I thought I was going crazy,” says bartender Linda Rinaldi. “I saw people crying. He was… he became whole.”
Olson, now a radiant being, speaks in ancient proverbs. “To win is to lose. To be full is to be empty. The pull tab reveals all—those who see it, see the truth.”
Olson stayed for a while to finish watching the game before silently closing his tab and leaving the bar. He was last seen playing craps at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay.
