Something felt off, though Jim was having a hard time placing what exactly. As he ran out onto the field that day, the crowdwas still cheering, just as they did every Sunday. The cheerleaders were cheering on the sidelines, just as they were every Sunday. Yet it all felt...wrong.
He tried to put it out of his head once the game began. But on the very first play, someone yanked on his ponytail. It resulted with a flag on the play, but it caused Jim alarm. He hadn’t recalled his ponytail ever being yanked on before, not once. It didn’t sit right with him.
Maybe someone else noticed something was wrong, but he was too afraid to ask. While he sat on the sidelines, he watched the ads on the big screen for beauty care, shoes, and athleisure. This wasn’t quite how he remembered things, but he couldn’t remember how they were supposed to actually be either...
