Escape the Loop

 


Escape the Loop


By Craig Wilson


The smoke goes away. Apparently, I'm in a hotel room.

Strangely, I do not remember ever visiting this hotel.

So, I go to the restroom. I notice my reflection is off.

I have somehow become a thirty-year-old Asian woman.

Bewildered, I leave the hotel room to look for help.

I rap on doors. Nobody responds. So I flee. I also panic.

But time seems to warp wildly as I run for an exit.

Somehow, I keep going up the same stairs repeatedly.

I leave the dream when my phone’s alarm goes off.


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.
