sometimes strange things happen

I walk into the big five story glass building as if it were yesterday. Step into the elevator and press five, check my watch and then look up right as the door closes. I dont work here anymore, I havent for eight months. But this doesn't matter because its just another day at work. I hang up my coat and bag in the locker area and then swipe my access card and enter the main work room.

As I enter the room it is empty and suddenly I realise I am not at work, but I am in one of my high school classrooms. I turn around in confusion and I really am back in my old high school. There's no one around except for one girl, an old classmate, who is blowing up balloons in a half decorated classroom. "whats the occasion?" I ask her. "We have been waiting for you" she says and then tells me to come here, she is holding something in her hand and motions that she wants to show it to me. I am still quite confused as to what is going on so I agree to her request and go over to see what it is. I cant stop thinking about whats going on and when I get over to her we immediately embrace each other and start to kiss. We stop after a minute or two and I ask whats going on.

That's when things went black...or bright, whatever way you want to look at it, and I was on sidewalk in a city 100 kilometers away at 5:16 in the morning totally out of breath.
