A Stranger's Hug

I wake up feeling dizzy and my vision is blurry. I cannot stand up, in fact even a sitting position is still impossible for me to do. All I know is that I am lying down at a floor of ... a ... house? or a ... room? Perhaps a hospital room. But why would hospital staffs leave me lying at the floor? I can feel that I am in a cement or some sort of hard rock. I am very sure that this is not the airplane. Ughhh my blurry vision only adds pain to my head and body. I am aware that some shitty things happen in the airplane and that I hit my head in a very hard object. Am I dead? Did we just crashed? Then where am I? Where are the others? Why is the ceiling of this room colored bright yellow-green? I realize that I have to calm myself. My questions will not get answers if I remain lying down in pain and distress. Yes, that is right, firstly, I have to get my clear vision back. I must rest for a few more minutes until I can see things clearly.

After an ample amount of rest. My body pain gets lessen and my eyes can now focus. I tried to sit down and as I look around, I see things that I am not expecting to see. Everything is brightly colored. This place seems to be a condominium unit except that all furnitures and stuffs looks unique and strange. Just beside me is a ... I will say a table? Its surface is irregularly shaped and instead of having legs below the main surface like what tables should normally be, it has strings attached to every corner of the irregular shaped surface where it hangs from the ceiling. There is also a ... a ... wait ... Now I stand up and luckily I did not lose my balance. I need to go near to make sure that ... Woah! Yeah my first guess is right. It is like a fish bowl. There is a fish bowl in the middle of the uniquely shaped table but I cannot really say it is a fish bowl because it is a cube! Yeah, it is a fish cube. There is another strange thing inside the cube. Is that a ... Oh yes. That is a ... rectangle-shaped fish? It is beige in color and its eyes where sky blue but it seems dead. I shake the fish cube but to no avail, the floating small strange creature did not move. What the hell is this place? I roam around to investigate more. On the other side of the table is ... I supposed, the main door of this creepy room. The purple door looks normal except that it has no doorknob. Instead, it has something like a hand scanner. I tried to put my left hand onto it but they were too large and as my palm touches the surface of the scanner it immediately turns red. I guess it signifies "error" or "incorrect". How would I open this? Suddenly something like a sound of a bottle falls from the other side of the room. This makes me a little nervous, honestly.

I started to walk slowly towards the source of the sound and I also tried to address someone, if there is someone.
Hello? Is somebody home? Where am I?What place is this?
Ok guys. Your place is ... absolutely amazing. Yeah, it is super unique ... and I... I would love to know who is your interior designer. Hello?

As I get closer, I see a floating plate with a metallic cover embedded with neon signs that I cannot definitely read. I think ... this must be the kitchen. I look around and I saw a some sort of can good on the floor. This must be the source of the sound. Parallel to the floating plate in the middle of the kitchen is a white circle window left open. Right now I am feeling the wind entering the room. I grab the can good and tried to read what does it contain. And guess what? My brain and eyes just died out. Is this even comprehensible? Yes, I am a an American that is monolingual(well I know Spanish but not to the extent I am confident using it and I lost most of my skills in speaking it) but I am sure that once in my life, I have seen most of the structures of how other nations write if they are not using the Latin Alphabet. But this one is very different. It is like symbols that are not properly lined and arranged.

There are layers of glass cabinets attached to the other wall that are all full of the same can good. So I just put it back together with the group. The only thing that does not seem right is that who in their right state of mind will attached layers of glass cabinets in a whole wall of their house from top to bottom. I mean, they should at least not have taken this very big space. Every wall of this room with the exception of the one that is full of glass cabinets has a painting in a diamond frame. Each displays a distinct scenery and design. Though I do not pay much attention to the works because I am not a fan of painting stuffs. I went to the floating disk in the middle. What exactly is this? And how is this even floating? I am still finding the dining table and the stove or any other utensils if there are any because that will solidify my hypothesis that this is the kitchen part. But to my dismay, nothing can be found other than this floating plate and the glass cabinets full of the same can goods. There is no even a lavatory to wash your hands.

I remove the metallic cover of the floating plate and what welcomes me is some sort of pale blue beans with a heavy clear syrup coating it placed in a glass bowl. And there is a sticky note attached to the bowl.
Eat It.

Why will I eat something that looks like inedible? What is exactly happening? Is the owner of the house pranking me? Am I in a show? But why would they prank someone from a flight or should I say plane crush? Who the hell is the owner of this strange house? Suddenly a flash of ideas and realizations struck my mind. The time before I pass out in the plane, there is some sort of an unknown object flying parallelly to our airplane. What if ?... No way ... that ... will be a joke ...  This must be a prank. We all know that Aliens don'----

Unexpectedly, I was not able to finish my statement as something or should I say ... someone hug me from the back and that touch just feels different. It seems like ... it is not a human skin.

Hello!
