Contagious



Contagious

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I find myself at the charity shop.

But I have no recollection of my return as a volunteer.

Using the mirror in the changing room, I look at myself.

I am wearing a dark blue uniform and a big name badge.

I feel deathly ill, though. I cough and sneeze way too often.

Many staff members begin to feel sick and have to leave.

The manager, of course, blames me and makes me feel bad.

I run out of the charity shop, and I even run out of the dream.

 

The End

 

The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
