After Shawn leaves I grab my things and lock up. My mind still wanders to him. "Geeze, why does he have to be so hot and nice??" I mumble as I question my sanity. I flag down a taxi and give him my address.
I walk inside after I unlock the door. I immediately set my things down and go into my room. I crash on my bed and fall into a deep sleep...
--（〜^∇^)〜 DREAMWORLD --
I'm in the cafe. Everything seems normal. People come. People go. Next thing I know it's 09:45pm. A man walks by out of the back room. I've never seen him before, but he tells me to lock up at 10. "Maybe Hollie gets fired?" I think to myself. I get a little excited at that thought.
At 10:00 I'm on Facebook. I'm scrolling through my feed when the door bell rings. I look up expecting "my" Shawn. Instead a see a woman standing there. She has long blonde hair and is really hot. "Woah woah... What?" I think to myself. "Hey! How's it going Kameron?" The woman says. "Kameron?" I say. I look around. Nobody else is in here. "Uh, yeah. You? Kameron Hombs? It's me? Sammy?" she says with a confused look on her face. For some reason it sounds familiar... Wait, Kameron? "You have got to be confused ma'am. Im... What?" I look down at my hands and notice they look different. They look... Masculine? "Uh, Kam? Are you okay? Do you need to leave?" Sammy keeps asking questions. I turn on my phone camera and look at myself. My breath stops short and I pass out.
--（〜^∇^)〜 REAL WORLD --
I wake up and roll off my bed. I'm too shOOk by the dream to even comprehend what happened. It looked so... Real? Why did I think of something like that? I shake it off, get up, and make my way over to the bathroom.
After I finish my shower, I grab my glasses and look to the clock on my dresser. I could've slept 30 more minutes. I curse myself for not taking that opportunity.
I make my way into the kitchen. I decide to be "fancy" today and make pancakes. It takes me 45 minutes and burning 12 of them, but I finally get 5 good ones. I pop them on my plate and grab the syrup and butter and make my way to my small dining room table.
I look out the window and eat my pancakes slowly. My mind wanders to the dream. Why was I in my workplace, but why wasn't I me? I just got more and more confused as I thought about it. Then, my mind wanders to my machine. A giant work of bolts and wires sitting in my garage that nobody knows about. My door always stays locked and has no windows. I need to make sure it stays a secret so that nobody will know about it, ever. Well, until I finish it and make sure everyone knows that it's mine. I've spent way too long on it for it to just be claimed as someone else's. The thought makes me cringe.
I stand up and place my plate in my sink. I then turn towards my garage door and take a deep breath. It's my day off again, right? I look at my calendar. A Tuesday. Yes, it is. I place my phone on my kitchen counter and slowly walk towards the door. I open it and the view of my machine gives me chills. It's amazing, and only requires a few more tests...
