when reality feels off
- leaving the theater after watching a movie
- looking up from reading a book and realizing where you are
- any place that’s open 24 hours (bonus: going to said place in the early hours and hearing both “good evening” and “good morning”)
- playgrounds at night
- arriving for an early morning flight and seeing a deserted airport with most of the shops closed
- dead malls with decor that hasn’t changed since the 90s
- motels of any kind
- stopping at a gas station at night in the middle of nowhere while on a road trip
- grocery stores in small towns
- places meant for children’s birthday parties (especially if you went there as a kid and are now older)
- little doors and attics in your house
