my brother
got the idea into the head that there was a contingency of Scandinavian agents infiltrating ex-cons (he'd done some time in the past for robbing copper pipes from a soon to be demolished row of shops). For what purpose I don't know and he didn't say.

He told me of an incident where one came to his house pretending to be friendly and brought a few beers. He said he looked a lot like a viking.

"Is that how you knew it was a Scandinavian society?" I asked.
"Yeah, who else would it be?" he replied in earnest.

After a few more questions, I finally concluded that it was his mate who lived in the flat above. His mate who had a small unkempt beard. A mate who came with beers 10 mins after my brother had dropped a tab of LSD.

Edit: I guessed the 10 mins bit, I haven't a clue how long it takes to kick in. 10 mins, 6 hours, I haven't a foggiest. In fact, it might not have been LSD at all, and the entire thing was true.

well to be honest
I guessed that bit as I have no experience with hallucinogens.
