    Of course! Your name is Derrik Hashing. You work at a thrift store. It's a quiet job, just as you like it. Your job has caused you to develop an interest in antiques and vintage clothing. You've got a degree in physics, but you made a career change. You don't think someone like you could really work in something like quantum physics. You suffer from nearly constant Déjà vu, making something simple like this job preferable for you.

    Unfortunately, this shop is going out of business soon. There haven't been many customers lately. Also, everyone else who works in the shop is at their lunch break now. You don't have anywhere to go for lunch, so you just ate here. After eating, you proceeded to make sure everything in the store was in proper order. The clock on the wall caught your attention, for it is displaying the wrong time. You know that it is the wrong time because you have a pocketwatch which you set to the correct time, always.

    That clock isn't just a few minutes off, it's a completely different time.

    Fix the clock, you never know when you'll be stuck in a QUANTUM TIME BUBBLE!

    You pick up the clock. Strange, you don't remember this clock being here before. Martha could have brought it in, or maybe a customer donated it.

    The idea of being stuck in a quantum time bubble or loop is a bit far-fetched for your tastes. Someone probably just forgot to set this to the right time. It is fun to ponder, though.

    Either way, you turn the gears on the back so the hands of the clock display the correct time. It makes a click sound when you release it.

    You begin to have a feeling of déjà vu, but it is the kind where you feel as if you know what's about to happen as opposed to feeling like what is going on has already occurred.

    Your name is Jetroid, and your chumhandle is chronicGeomancer, or would be if you knew what Pesterchum was.
    You enjoy reading online adventures in a variety of formats, from user driven text-based stories to full blown comics. You also enjoy video games.

    You hang up the clock. This looks much better, with everything being in proper order.

    No, that's exactly the opposite. You have a feeling that no one will enter the store for quite a while. Doesn't take a psychic to know that though, since business has been rather slow in the past few weeks. You think you'll just go to the couch in the other room and take a nap. Sleeping during your lunch hour couldn't hurt, and you're a pretty light sleeper so you would notice if a customer came in.

    You head over to the couch in the other room and get comfortable.



    You are now dreaming.
