Anxiety Non Dream

James stood in the queue at his local McDonalds and wondered why everyone seemed to be staring at him. It wasn't just staring either, there was definite giggling and some looks of disapproval too though nobody went as far as saying anything to give him a clue what it was that was causing such a stir.

James looked down to see if there was something off in his attire. Nothing, a plain red t-shirt and blue jeans. He was relieved to finally get to the front of the queue - he was about ready to get out of there and away from these freaks. James approached the counter, behind which was a nervous looking young woman, probably a student working here part time, with tied back mousy hair, freckles and glasses. Her face was bright red and for some reason she kept glancing downwards towards James's crotch as she spoke or, rather, nervously stammered her introduction.

"Um, h-how can I help you t-today s-sir?"

"I'd like a Big Mac, fries, sweet and sour sauce and a medium coke"

"Uh, y-yes sure, um, thank you s-sir!" the girl rang the order up on the till before putting together the order. Within a matter of minutes the girl was back and placed a large paper bag on the counter in front of him "Um, how would you like t-to pay for that sir?"

James reached down to fetch his wallet but quickly realised it wasn't there. In fact nothing was there! He was standing completely naked in the middle of the restaurant! What the fuck was happening!

At that point James turned around to see an all too familiar red haired woman striding so quickly towards him.

"I'm so sorry about James! He is totally harmless he just has a problem with exhibitionism!" Amy explained "This is my fault! I'm James's psychiatrist and he is under my care. I'll look after him from here.

Amy took out James's card from his wallet, which she now seemed to be in possession of and swiped it against the pay point. She then motioned for James to take the food and follow her out of the restaurant. An already humiliated James kept expecting the setting to turn into some kind of small theatre like he was used to. He felt even more exposed when he realised he really was in the crowded restaurant.

"Thanks foe being a darling and getting my lunch for me" Amy giggled as she took the bag from James to retrieve her meal from "This is hungry work and I have another show to get you too. Now, sleep!"

Yet again, James found everything fading to black.
