So,
some random day in the middle of June.

2022.

...

He walked on smooth, dark-red tiles, slightly slanted.

Why is everything so... flipped over, so silly?

He coughed. Shivered a little.

...

Hey, Clayton,
why are you on the roof of the house?

The wind whistled.

Well, it is a nice house. Large, lonely mansion.

Clayton, why are its walls the color of green screens?

You know,
those things that actors use to fake videos?

...

It was too large of a house for one person,
but only one person lived there,
and he didn't care at all.

And now this person was standing fifteen feet from the ground
and he was thinking.

Why am I shivering? It isn't cold.

Birds chirped.

I need to sit down.

...

Clayton
(yes, that is his name)
started to walk towards the flat and broad section of the roof.

It wasn't his first time up there.

A step, and a step,
and a slower
step.

He looked up.

Nice, puffy clumps of white
were painted in the sky.

He caught a glimpse of the sun and squinted.

Too bright. Everything is too bright right now. Why?

Clayton looked back down.

...

A blast of cold
turned his skin to ice for a second.

But it was not a windy day at all.

He should have been warm.

Why aren't you warm, Clayton?

...

Shut up. Why won't these birds just stop chirping and shut up?

Another step.

He blinked.

Shit.

...

He was leaning to the right.

He tried to regain his balance
but he simply
could not.

Clayton, why are you falling?

...

Air surrounded every inch of his skin.

He saw the clouds again
and he saw the trees again
and it all started to spin
and the roof got farther away from him
and-

Ooh, is that an airplane in the sky?

And there was a bang.

...

His brain paused
as his body smashed into the pavement.

He did not know that hours passed.

He did not know that his parents called him
or that his phone was vibrating on the concrete beside him
again and again and again.

He did not hear his dad drive up and open his car door half an hour later.

He did not hear the ambulance.

He did not hear the-

...

Eh. The doctors.

The doctors say that he will wake up
eventually.

Doctors, what happened to this guy?
