Omen?

 I just don't know what to make of it but I definitely need to make note of it.

I am sure there's a word or name for it but without doubt, it cannot be a merely coincidence.

I usually don't watch movies ( was in Netflix or any other platform) for a number of reasons, two of which are; I get bored rather quickly, and just contemplating the commitment to sit still for two hours doesn't appeal to me, so would rather grab a book or continue reading one already started.

Anyways, today since it was my day off from work and the day too hot and humid to go ride my bike, I decided to explore Netflix and HBO Max and found out that Papillon the original film is scheduled to be pulled from rotation at the end of May and I remember that I read the book three years ago, I sit to watch it.

But before I started playing Papillon, I watched the first 32 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and didn't like it but the first scenes depict the apes and some tapirs roaming. Also strange -to me, anyway- is the appearance of the Monolith and the scene is pretty similar to the photos published in the news media a few months ? ago.

I have not seen tapir in years in all probability. Then I started watching Papillon, and oh surprise, there's a scene where Papi and Dugas are working in a muddy lagoon and there's some tapir there as well.

So, tapir in two movies that I have never seen in my 60 years of existence? 

Well, that's not all, right now it's almost midnight on May 26, 2021. After going to the store and getting water and some groceries, I sit in my desk and watch a video from this modern adventurer named Shiey a train hopper that records his escapes and posts in YouTube and Reddit, his videos are on my feed because I am subscribed to his channel, so he posted a new videos after a number of months of total silence. In this new trip by cargo train to Bosnia and Herzegovina there's a moment in minute 23:29 where Shiey captures a seemed weak butterfly and lets loose while the train speeds away.

Now I turn my computer off and start watching the second half of Papillon and then I witness yet another coincidental scene. Papillon, after being set out from solitary confinement is in recovery at the Sanatorium, he grabs an also seemed weak grasshopper and lets it loose out of the room.

What is it? What is this? Is somebody watching me? Am I getting too paranoid? Algorithms? No, how can that be actual? No, there's got to be something else in play here, and I need to figure it out.
