[At the mall, you walk by a mannequin that looks just like you. Something odd is happening…

Your foot pauses midstep. Shivers roll down your spine as all the hair on your arms rise up. That can't be right. Eyebrows scrunch down and your lips flatline. You squint at the mannequin.

Upon inspection, it looks nothing like you! A sigh slips out and your shoulders slump low. False alarm...

A jolt rocks your body. The world spins lazily around you like a merry-go-round. Head full of cobwebs, you shake it off. Mouth dry you fumble for your water bottle.

There isn't one in your bag. Odd! You always carry one with you. Tongue heavy it drags across your chapped lips like sandpaper. When was the last time you got to eat or drink something? Months? Years? It feels like decades.

Your feet carry you to the food court. There you order a drink and some food. As you pull out cash from your wallet the bored-looking teenager asks for your name.

What is your name again? Eyes glance down to the wallet in your hand. You scan the ID. The name falls from your lips like stolen honey. Your lips curl up into a smirk.

This is a good one, you decide. You thank the teenager and take your meal. There's a bounce in your step and you hum a cheerful song.]
