Today I picked page 119, a spoooooky one, what if your world is stuttering/glitching?
Standing near the truck of a small hatchback, a woman was clutching a grocery bag to her chest. “Hello?” Hailey ran over, but the woman didn’t acknowledge her. In fact, she didn’t move. Not an inch.
After a moment, Hailey realized the woman’s pose resembled the way her mother had been stuck behind the wheel, like a life-size paper cut-out. The woman’s silhouette flickered. Settled. Inside the store, a few shoppers were also standing still, caught reaching for items on the shelves. Some were tall. Some were toddler size. Each of them flickered. Settled. Flickered again.
