What to eat

I am in a diner. Doors are located 15 feet and 10 feet from my location. These doors are exits. My body is slightly weighted, carrying a burden I had not for a long time. Why? Danger is the last thing on my mind. The waiter comes to me but I notice a man on the streets. He stumbles onward into the building. Without noticing the strange man, the waiter recalls my attention to my order. I want a burger, some fries, some onion rings, some water. Caloric intake unknown. This might be my last meal. The waiter recalls with a smile and strides toward the strange man muttering to himself the entire time. The smell of cigarettes and liquor entered my senses, this man had a troubled past. Either that or he was an alcoholic smoker. The prior could be problematic; there are many strange people.

What should I do

I look outside. I can see everything. Everywhere. Everyplace. Maybe that's why I picked this place. Maybe it wasn't because this room described how many rooms were in the building. I can see something happening. I can see a woman move look down and away from some other people. They are carrying a black box. Everyone uses this box. Should I stop them? I look out again. There is nothing to do around here. My legs push me forward.

Who am I

What happened? The ground feels cold but gravity keeps me here. I remember a knife. I threw that knife. Here, at the target. As I rise, I see an object lying on the counter. In my hands, it is a v-shaped piece of wood with another piece coming down from the vertex. There is an elastic material reaching across the v. It is a slingshot. The knives I threw were still in the target. At least one of them was. The others were in each other. There is a roar. I can see flames. The food trailer is on fire. The closer I get to it, the more familiar it seems. But there is a man grinning as he passed the fire. It almost made him seem responsible. "There's something wrong. We can't stop it." The speaker is in a chair wheel a steering wheel with 146 buttons. There is a force pulling us down and I know this isn't good.
