Employees Of The Unnamed Convenience Store

I no longer had control of my body.

Right now, my perspective felt ethereal and otherworldly. As if my mind transitioned into the 4th dimension, it felt like I was merely a spectator watching a play as an audience from above.

It felt like every piece of matter inside the store was visible to me. My mind was stunlocked by the rapid flow of information that was entering my brain.

Common-sense seems useless right now. However, I instinctively felt like I knew how to operate myself in this state.

But…

What the hell is happening..!

Arghh!!!

It felt like my brain was scattered everywhere. Before my consciousness fades, I have to find a solution to stay aware of my thoughts!

Okay! Okay!

Okay, let’s calm down… If there’s too much information to process, let’s focus on the details that matter. For now let’s analyze the situation, where the fuck is my body?!

Think!

Currently I am forcing my brain to filter out all the excess information. In the midst of all the useless knowledge about the store, eventually I was able to identify something human-shaped.

Ah! There’s my body!

Focus… Focus!!!

Eventually, my body came into view.

Holy shit… What the hell just happened to me? If I had to describe it, my consciousness was forcibly ejected out of my body. And left outside into an unknown plane of existence…

But… It felt like I had a string that tied my thoughts to my body. But right now, there was no connection that allowed me to control my body with my consciousness.

So…

How is my body still moving?

Right now, my body is continuing my previous actions from earlier… I saw myself typing the words ‘Noh Mask’ on the Goggles search engine.

My view of the store was limited to my body. Let’s expand it a little to observe the current situation that’s occurring.

Eventually, Mr. Ordinary came into view… Along with a tall man in a suit wearing a pumpkin mask.

Wait… That’s not a pumpkin mask… Right now, my mind was telling me that it was part of its body. That wrinkly-ass skin is part of his face..?

Hold up, his entire body anatomy is out of place… That’s not a human!

My eyes could perceive its true body in my supernatural state. That monster had sharp teeth, four sharp fangs, and eight arms submerged into its back.

And… Inside of its stomach. My brain informed me that it was human remains being digested within its body. Which means… It had killed someone and eaten them.

Wait, is it aiming to kill that boy..?

I know that I was aggressive towards Mr. Average. But that didn't mean that I wanted him to be killed.

However, it seems like Mr. Average is unaware of what’s happening. But there’s nothing I can do at the moment. All I could do was sit back and watch the current events unfolding.

…

…

…

We were now inside the storage room.

Eventually, I saw my body kick a supporting pole of a nearby shelving rack. Then the light bulb swayed and blinked once.

Click.

And momentarily, I saw the monster extend its eight arms to prevent the boxes from falling onto me.

I looked at the expression on the boy’s face… Seems like he noticed it too. But his actions were too hasty, and eventually the monster realized he had been caught.

Unnaturally, with my supernatural sight, I saw strings of connection tied between the monster’s brain and the ceiling lights. The strings vibrated, and the lights turned off.

Was the monster manipulating the lights?

Eventually, the monster turned towards my body.

I could hear him muttering, “You’re no longer needed.”

The monster stabbed my body on the neck with a stinger underneath its 4 tongues. Injecting some sort of hallucinogen into my bloodstream.

Ah… It seems like my current state of mind is being affected too…

Eventually, my mind scattered around the store and I could no longer perceive the situation.

Then everything became dark once more.

…

…

…

“Hello? Is someone there?”

Shouting… I heard someone shouting towards my direction.

When I opened my eyes, I realized I was under a counter… Am I in a convenience store? But everything around me seems unfamiliar.

The shouting continued, “There’s no point in hiding… I already heard you.”

Step.

What the fuck..? The way they’re saying it sounds so god damn creepy! Based on the direction the voice was coming from, clearly those words were directed towards me.

By the pitch of their voice, it seems like they’re a male? It sounds familiar… Wait, where am I? Did I get kidnapped?

“It’s okay, I’m unarmed and I won’t hurt you.”

Shit, let’s pretend to be asleep…

I closed my eyes and reached into the pocket of my shorts to take out my pair of scissors. Minimalizing my movements, I hid it under my head and long hair.

Step. Step. Step.

…

Step.

For a moment, I could hear their breathing become heavy. Now I could ascertain their current location.

They were standing next to my body.

I couldn’t see it, but my closed eyes could feel the ceiling lights being blocked by a shadow looming over me.

Is he on top of me? Just what the hell are you doing..?

I opened my eyes.

…

For a second, me and Mr. Ordinary made direct eye contact.

And I saw his hand next to my elbow… Reaching for my breast.

…

…

…

“You perverted motherfucker..!”
