She shouldn't have stayed up reading until late. She slept little and woke up in a bad mood. She's running late for work and, although she tries to run faster, her legs don't respond. Also, the street looks different. It's empty and the streetlights are half-working, making everything feel strange to her. At some point, she thinks someone is following her, but she turns around and feels ridiculous. The bookstore is still closed, no one has arrived yet. But the facade is not the usual one, it has deformed. She checks that she's wearing her glasses. Suddenly, she hears a noise. She opens her eyes. She dropped the book.
