"Where," I whisper, "Am I?"

I swallow, looking around to what seems like a large corporation. A massive main hall with people in business suits, running around, the sound of phones ringing, and virtual displays everywhere.

"Looks like we ain't in Kansas anymore Toto," I say to myself, trying to calm my breathing.

"Charlie," I hear a male voice behind me, and I tense. I turn to see a very handsome man in a crisp gray suit. His hair is golden blond with shining blue eyes and a natural smile. Very charming, actually.

He looks me up and down. "I am glad you made it, I was getting worried we might have to do this without you," he says with his hand casually in his pockets.

"Where am I?" I whisper.

I am not going to freak out.

At least not yet.

"You are at the Fairy Godmother Inc.'s headquarters. You were chosen to embark on a mission, a romantic fantasy of sorts. Let's go somewhere to chat and meet the other women, shall we?" he asks and nods his head for me to follow. "Come on, do not be scared."

I am a very open-minded individual.

But this is a lot to take in. "How did I get here? Was I drugged? That woman in the car," I say as I nearly run into a woman carrying coffees. "Sorry."

She glares at me. 

"That was the Fairy Godmother, Zora. You were beamed up here, like Star Trek. Are you familiar with that movie?" he looks back to see if I'm listening. "It's the best way I can describe it without going onto quantum physics, that tends to confuse the confused."

I laugh, sarcastically, not believing what I am hearing. "You beamed me? Fairy Godmother?"

"Correct, and yes."

I curse and keep following him. I am not getting warning vibes of being in a dangerous place, but this feels foreign. Like how you feel when you are in a dream, and you know something is not quite right. All of the white is overly bright, making me almost squint. I can see virtual technology being used by people that I know I have never seen before.

I have the new iPhone, and that is top of the line.

5G.

Even though 5G will probably cook our brains and cause cancer in a few years, but hey, it's top of the line. As I walk, I see a man waving his hands around like Tony Stark from the Avengers, virtual technology displayed in front of him. This place does not look like a dream, though. I can smell, see, and feel the pinch I give myself on my arm.

Crud.

Maybe this real, and I am seeing things most people do not. I believe in Alien abductions and government conspiracy. I look around with new excitement; this could be real.

Holy cow.

I take in a sharp breath.

I am going to be one of those people who return to Earth with an abduction story that no one believes!

"Hillbilly Charlie Wilford found wandering by herself, has no idea what happened in the past ten days or how she got here. Time lost with weird visions of technology and aliens. Stay tuned to another episode of, Unsolved Mysteries."

I take another breath, and I am led into another sterile room.

"Sit," He says.

There is a long table with chairs, and I sit in one, feeling dazed. "Is this where you tell me I am a secret agent? A sleeper agent like Jason Bourne?"
