Illusion

You rubbed your eyes after Bill made his disappearence, but when you took your hands away from your eyes, you were surprised to see that you were no longer in the forest, there were no gnomes.Instead, they have been replaced by a nice, sunny field.
"What the-"You stopped mid sentence when you saw the Mystery Shack in the distance.He teleported you there like he knew there was the place you were going to go after this.Why was he so obsessed with this place anyway?
At this point, you were unsure if you were dreaming, hallucinating, trapped inside a simulation or you were simply awake and this town was just weird.
The town.
It has been strange from the very beggining, the very first time you saw that sign.
"I guess there must be a reason why they don't put this place on the maps."You looked down, lost in your own thoughts.It was too much for the average human to see gnomes, but a floating triangle turning everything into grayscale?That was for sure something not many would encounter.You began to creep out, it was just now you had realised how crazy this place was.This stuff was supposed to happen only in science-fiction movies, right?
You could feel your heart pumping faster, what did just happen?What was that?Are there any cratures like that?You needed to get to the bottom of this? for the sake of your own sanity.But how?You slowly began to lift you head up again, the Mystery Shack beggining to contour in your vision as you did so, and you finally found your answer, partially.This people must know something, afterall, they live here, it is impossible to not have seen, or at least heard of someone experiencing paranormal events or spotting some sort of non-conventional creature.It's not like there was anything better to do, your car was gone, and even if you managed to leave this place, the period where one could claim one's spot at said college was long finished.So you got up, walked to the Mystery Shack and knocked on the door.As you were waiting for someone to open it for you, you began to wonder if these people really knew about the weirdness of this town or if they will percieve you as mentally derranged.You took a deep breath, exhaled loudly and concluded that you will tell them exactly what happened.What other reason could convince them to let you stay here besides this?You snapped back to reality when the sound of the door knob rotating hit your ears.One familiar figure appeared and smiled before you.
"Dude!I didn't think I was gonna see you again.The people were right when they said this place is a tourist trap, even better, it's a straight up tourist magnet!"
"Hello to you too, Soos"You greeted him a little sarcastic.
Soos waved for you to come inside, closing the door before you.As you were walking in, you saw Wendy and Mabel again, along with some guy who looked like Mabel but gendebent.
"Woah you're back, I thought you were gone for good, who would want to stay here anyway!"Wendy laughed.
"Well yeah about that..."You began to rub the back of yout head"
"What's up, dude?"Soos asked, somehow worried.
You sighed while closing your eyes before talking again.
"I did, indeed, attempt to leave, but..."You were finding it pretty difficult to confide in them.
"But?"Mabel' genterbent suddenly asked.
"You see,I founf my car, but torn apart and turned upside down, along with some gnomes stealing, and some eating, it."You saw how everyone seemed to be having a more serious expression on their face as you gave them more information, so you stopped before mentioning anything too crazy, like that Bill thing.
"Do they think I'm crazy..?"
"So you have also seen those bastards?!"Mabel shouted from the other side of the room.You let out a breath, youwere relived.
"So they know."You thought, happily.
"Yeah, have you met them before?"You asked, almost jomping from the joy that in fact, these people seemed to understand your situation.
Mabel jumped up, screaming loudly.
"Met?Met?!More like them gaslighting me into thinking they were some hot guy in order abduct me and force me to become their wife or sum."
"This is exactly what happened to me!"You were shouting back to to Mabel, the hatred for these guys seemed to have bought you together.You chuckled.
"Guys, you have no idea how relieved i feel that you know about what I'm talking abt.I thought I was losing my mind."You sounded a little bit akward amd embarrassed admiting this, but who wouldn't be?You coughed, trying to gather up the courage to ask them the question which was lingering in tour head."
"I have been wanting to ask you this..."They all turned to face you, eyeing you directly."I do not have a car anymore, most of my money were in the car, I can not go to college anymore because the admission period has closed.My point is, I need a place to stay, so in exchange to staying here, I want to work at the Shack."
Wendy cheered"Wooo!Finally someone to finally talk to at work.
"Woah, call down bro!"Soos pouted"I have to ask Mr.Pines about it first."
"Who is Mr.Pines?I thought you were the owner of this place.You know, the outfit and all..."You uttered.
"Oh no!I mean, Mr.Pines left me as the boss here since he has gone sailing with his brother, but he is the actual owner!Or not, because the second Stan, who is actually the first Stan built this place, but Stan claimed it as his and the property is registered on his name; Anyway, but the act is not viable because he also stole the name from the first Stan ,but now ,that Stan can not take it back because, technically, it is already his yk?But the business belongs to the first, actually second, Stan tho!"Soos tried to say something more but he was cut off by Wendy.
"What he is trying to say is that he is not the actual owner but he is for a period of time, as the other one is busy right now."
"Ohh, I think I get it(you didn't)!"You nodded, giving her am akward smile."So...am I hired?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Soos.
"Ok fine!You're hired, bro!"
