The tinny clatter of the bell catches me off guard as I walk into the store. I didn't know those were still around.
 
'Hello!'
 
The chirpy voice of someone who's much more ready to be awake at this time than I am calls from behind the counter. I look over and wave, to which she doesn't respond.
 
It makes me raise an eyebrow but I think nothing more of it. The blonde-haired girl looks back down to the book she was writing in and I start browsing.
 
It's strange, I can't remember why on Earth I came in here. Last I remember I was sitting at home reading. That can't be right, it's not like me to go out on a whim.
 
I make the best of it and decide I'll remember if I just look around enough. The store seems pretty familiar, although the items don't. The labels are fairly unreadable. Not that they're faded, but I just can't seem to focus on what they say.
 
Another curiosity, but it is pretty early and it's not like I normally function well at this time of day.
 
The bell clatters again and I feel the breeze of outside pass over my feet. That's odd, I shouldn't feel-- oh.
 
I'm not wearing shoes.
 
Come to think, I am in fact in my pajamas. I know it's early and everything, but this seems a tad lazy even by my own standards.
 
I'm a little embarrassed by it and stand behind a shelf so the people who just walked in don't notice. As I peek over the corner, though, there's nobody there.
 
They must have just been having a nosy, I guess.
 
The girl behind the counter is still looking at the door expectantly.
 
'Good morning! Is there anything I can help you with?'
 
She called out to thin air. At the lack of a response, she lets out a soft sigh and goes back to writing. I wonder why she didn't notice. Maybe she's blind?
 
I walk along the aisle up to the counter. Her head pops up again at the sound of my footsteps. I suppose she is, then. She looks terribly familiar.
 
'Hello there. Is there anything I can...'
 
Her voice fades out as I reach a hand towards her. I brush a finger against her cheek and she blushes a tad, but doesn't react otherwise.
 
'Lilly?'
 
She smiles.
 
I wake up.
