I was on stage with my friends and we were performing to a large outdoor crowd. I was among the few who were in charge of the taiko drums. People in the audience were waving around giant red and blue banners and my friends were betting on which side was going to “win”. All of a sudden large metal gates started swinging inwards in a wave-like fashion from the back of the crowd to all around the stage. Someone said it was for our safety.

A friend accidentally knocked his lemon sour over. My grandmother approached us asking for a drink and needed a cup but my friend had already started rinsing his with some bleach. I reached into a ziploc bag to grab the one piece of bread among the bagful of fried shrimp. However when I turned the piece of bread over, a couple of large cockroaches scattered in all directions which made me instinctively throw the bread onto the ground.

There was a duckling with a freakishly large head and swollen eyes laying on the floor. Around it was a couple of geese prodding at the duck with their beaks. I took out my phone to search up what it meant when a duck had an oversized head but couldn’t find anything helpful.

It was 7AM. I woke up and saw that my friends were watching Lucky Star in a Discord server. Someone who said he wasn’t going to make it today was in the call. There were also a few unfamiliar names in the call list. I brought it up before realizing it wasn’t our usual friend server.
