What is Twisp?
1.
Emotionally, twisp is like saying 'Oh, shit.' It is recognizing a disjunction between an expectation and a realization, or in simpler terms when the world acts in a different way to how you thought it would.
If you disregard the new information from such an experience you are liable to encounter cognitive dissonance.
Tom knew that statistically the chances of finding not one but two people in variable states of lucidity along several kilometres of beach bursting at the seams with drug addled tourists, undercover police and predatory locals, with the sun coming up, the tide drawing in at speed and the myriad sound systems still pumping out twisted amphetamine stomps at dangerous volumes, was somewhere up in the 230'000s. Still, he couldn't tell if it was the mushrooms, the native benzedrine-riddled firewater, or something else, but he was compelled to try. And he was a little bemused when he found in the space of five minutes first Seanna dancing in the sun rays of the new day on the steps outside a bar, and then Ross lying in a stupor several hundred feet back from the beach in a compound of cabañas. Finding one so fast could be put down to chance, but two? Twisp.
