Walmart

I entered Walmart with a shopping list. I also remember thinking to myself that there was no way that I was going to find everything on that list. As I began to wander the aisles I saw a few steps ahead of me facing the opposite was a kid in a black dog costume. The head of the costume had been knocked off and I could see little tuffs of hair poking out the top proving that the animal was indeed a human. Next to the child was what I assumed to be his parental unit dressed as Winnie the Pooh but who could have just as easily been Winnie the Pooh himself. The character was a little bigger than normal, wore a tight red shirt surrounding a yellow body fitting the description of the honey-loving bear perfectly. I of course, paid no mind knowing that these characters were not on my list.

Turning the corner I found Molly Michie, an old friend from my home in Charlottesville who was also roaming the aisles. We walked together for a while which was nice cause I hadn't seen her in a while and we needed to catch up.

All the sudden there was music in the background, joyous music that for some reason made me laugh. A bunch of guys standing on a platform were singing parody's to what I had originally believed to be christmas tunes, but instead was the recognizable children's song: "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" Instead of the normal song lyrics though, these Walmart employees had made up their own thanksgiving themed words. "Turkey turkey turkey turkey turkey turkey" was sung at one point and lots of other foods were tossed around as well like "big mac with lettuce and lots of cheese, peas and carrots I will have number 3!" It was a strange song but these guys were belting it out making the whole thing seem perfectly normal.

Then outside the store we could hear the skies opening up as the rain poured down. I opened my eyes entering reality as the air conditioner kicked back on mimicking that torrential downpour from my dream.
