Ice Cream Run

 


Ice Cream Run


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears and I find myself outside.

Specifically, I am chilling in a supermarket.

I am in the self-service checkout section.

I buy an ice cream. I use my contactless card.

I head out of the store. It’s like a ghost town.

It’s darker than I realise. I make my way home.

I’m not alone. It feels like I’m being followed.

I hear voices. My heart races. I feel pretty uneasy.

I run. I don’t want to risk being a random victim.

My phone’s alarm goes off. I leave this 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.
