Looping Aisles and Missing Wallet at the Grocery Store

Looping Aisles and Missing Wallet at the Grocery Store

I was at the grocery store after work, same fluorescent lights, but the aisles kept looping back to the produce section. My neighbor from downstairs was bagging apples and wouldn’t look at me. I realized my wallet was gone from my coat. I kept checking the same pocket. Someone said there had been a break-in at my building, but they meant the old office I used to work in, mixed with my hallway. I found a set of keys that weren’t mine on the checkout belt. The cashier asked if I knew whose they were and I said no, then felt sure I did. I tried to leave and the automatic doors wouldn’t open. Mild dread, like I’d walked in on something and everyone knew. I woke up still patting my pocket.
