The car slowed down. The man finally spoke, "Time to get out". The seat belts finally let go, but Philip had no need to talk because he was pushed out of the car. He hit the pavement on his hands and knees cutting his pants and palms. The car sped out of the lot and onto the road. Philip got up and looked around, and he realized he was on the other side of town. Looking around he saw he was out side of the vet "
Powder Paws". There were still no people anywhere. Then, out of the corner of his eye he saw it. A person. Philip got up and hurried over to the door and pulled, but it wouldn't open. "Hey!" yelled Philip, but the person did not even flinch let alone look up. "HEY!" yelled Philip again this time much louder and again, no response from the person. Philip turned around and to desperate measure, grabbed a rock and like the chair threw it at the glass window but when the rock hit it just bounced off.
Philip didn't know what to do. The only person was in there and he couldn't even get in. He took a step back and looked around. It was just as it had been when he was thrown from the car and the person inside seemed to be still busy working. He looked at the sign, but to his surprise had the phrase 'Don't be Rude Philip'. He blinked and it said Powder Paws again. At this point Philip was truly scared with all the events that had taken place in the past 2 days, with him getting hit by a car, people saying the same phrase, then no people at all, and then a car with seatbelt that seemed to have a mind of their own. Philip sat down on the curb and thought to himself. What is really happening here? Is it a dream, no it cant be a dream, you know what a dream feels like and this is definitely real. Maybe I need some rest. Yea, thats it. So Philip laid down on the sidewalk and closed his eyes. Why did the sign say don't be rude? Maybe I shouldn't have thrown the rock. Please open? Thought Philip. Click. The door had opened. Philip had no idea how he had got it to open but he did and he ran over to the door threw it open and went inside.
Philip scared the woman at the desk quite badly when he burst in the veterinary clinic. "Whats wrong? Are you okay?" asked the woman. "What is going on, there are no people anywhere and you are the first person I've seen all day what is happing!"asked a quite panicked Philip. "What do you mean? There are people everywhere its so busy in Park City today, look outside! Have you been doing something you arn't supposed to? Should I call your parents?" asked the woman. "No, i'm fine" and Philip turned around to a very busy parking lot with people walking every which way and cars trying to find a parking place, but just ten minuets ago there was no one. "Im sorry for scaring you im just tired I guess" said Philip. "You should go home its already Six o'clock at night. Anyways if you don't have an emergency you will have to leave soon." said the woman, "Im sorry and thanks for your time" and with that Philip went outside. He still couldn't believe that there were so many people everywhere. What is going on, thought Philip then he saw her. His science teacher, Mrs.Brienholt staring at him through the crowd petting her dog, not moving, not blinking. Philip ran. He was scared with everything that happened and he just wanted to get home. While walking it got cold. He stuck his hand in his coat to find a tiny scrap of paper that read, 'Meet me at the 6:30 showing of Batman in Red Stone and I will explain everything.'
