My eyesight was hazy, the world was dull as it looked upside-down. My body felt light as I watched those greedy large and fat birds pluck their beaks into the foggy water. A cool chilly breeze ghosting over the skin on my face.
Was I hanging dead? Tied by my feet to a pole in the middle of nowhere.
Was I left to die or was I already dead?
…
I can't move, I can't blink, I can't speak. I guess that answers all my questions.
As if accepting my fate already, I let my consciousness slip away. The last thing I witnessed was that big and round geese spreading it's dark gray feather across the expanse, kicking up water droplets as it took off.

"Young man.. Young man.."
A soft feminine voice you'd hear from a senior lady interrupted the scene.
Snapping out of my dream, I wiped off the drool on the side of my face.
"Shit, sorry ma'am." I mumbled. My index finger moving to the button under the conveyor belt which prompted it to move forward.
"Hello, how are you? Do you have a Food Market ValueCard?" I asked as I began scanning items, carelessly throwing them in a plastic bag.
"Young man, does it hurt to smile? Where's your Food Market cheer?" The old lady remarked in a condescending tone.

Sides of the old ladies mouth uncannily moved upward, her facial features distorting to create an exaggerated smiley face, as if her flesh were mold that could be simply changed.
I might've pissed my pants as I watched the change unfold in a matter of seconds. My hands dropping a jar on the outdated tile floor beneath me.
What the fu- ?!!!
The "old ladies" arm extendedly creepishly toward me, longer than it usually should be for a human. I watched as the flesh on the arm twist in my direction after I narrowly ducked it.
I turned around, running as sweat started raining off my body as I quickly observed the store.
All my co workers and every customer did not react or pay attention to the "old lady"
However, it was like WE didn't exist to the real world at all.
