I walk inside, I see the lady at the front office. She's not paying attention, I climb into one of the carts letting blankets cover the bottom floor or whatever of the cart. I sit there for about 6 minutes till someone comes and starts pushing the cart. I never did this before, we're going fast, at least fast to me. Not running fast but I'm not moving so it seems weird. I sit cross legged and look out small cracks of blankets. We pass by an area with things called 't.v.'
there are other people there too sitting in chairs writing on clipboards but they don't have doctor outfits. They have leather jeans and stuff, shirts with short sleeves. I think those are called "Jeans". A lot of the peoples skin in this place are just pale, mine too. I see some darker skinned people but the doctors tell me they're a different race. There are some tannish people, really dark people, there was a guy with blonde hair and shorts and a tank top, he had weird black glasses. I don't think he was human though since his skin was kind of red and I've never seen that before. The man pushing the car had stopped. I can see through these glass doors. There are trees, I think those big metal things with circles under them are cars. There's no big fence out there. Its what people I think call a "parking lot". I continue to look around the room until I see someone in a chair sort of looking in one of the cracks of the blanket. Does he see me? I keep looking but the person keeps staring as if he sees something. He sees me. I hear the office lady and the guy pushing the cart stop talking. The cart starts to move again and we leave the lobby room. We continuously pass more talking. I'm getting tired of riding this. He stops at a laundry room. I see his legs walk away and I slip out of the cart and quietly move away. I look around but see nothing but halls and doors. Just more whiteness. The only color there is is the silver on the doorknobs and small black circle things on the ceiling. There's also a few large, very colorful boxes in the laundry room. It says "Coke" "Pepsi" "Sprite" I don't understand these names. Are these people names? Dr. Pepper maybe. Does he work here? He is probably nice considering he is on a big colorful box. I start to climb through the cart to get a better look. I get halfway through then I hear a voice, or more of a sound. "Hrm?" I look around. The man pushing the cart in the laundry room is looking directly at me. What do I do now? I sort of crawl back into the cart. "Nh!" I see the man getting closer, he squats down in front of it. "Its okay, are you lost?" I saw this person putting money in the boxes, he must be Dr. Pepper. He pushes the blankets aside in the cart looking at me sitting to the corner. "How long have you been riding in this?" I don't know what to say, I wasn't counting the time. "20 minutes..." He turns around getting a small brown but colorful pouch putting these rainbow dot things into his hand. The bag says "M&m's". He puts his hand to me, it doesn't look like any medicine I've seen. "Its candy. Nobody likes it when I feed any of you but its not gonna effect anything." He wants me to eat out his hand. Not that I haven't eaten out of a hand before but... It's embarrassing. I do it, it tastes nice. The candy I mean. Its all sweet and stuff. I keep going for about 5 minutes. "You wanna go now in the cart?" I don't really want to ride in the cart. I shake my head no and he stands up. "You can go ahead and try to wander, I wont stop you. It's not my job." He starts to take the laundry out and I start to leave down the hall. I should say something. "Thank you Dr. Pepper."
