Dun nah

Dun nah. That stupid sound was stuck in my head. I had never seen the movie Jaws and it was still stuck in my head. Why me? I don’t even like that kind of movie. And I don’t know how it got into my head. Though it did match the sound of my walking. My right shoe has the lasses broken so it makes that sound as I walk. Dun nah. I’m walking at a constant pace but the sound is getting faster. Well whatever. I walk into my favorite coffee shop and got a black with room for milk. I wasn’t moving so I couldn’t be making the noise. And it makes me feel a little off. I walk back outside and down the street. It sounds faster and faster no matter how slow I walk. It’s creepy. My gut says to get away but why? I keep walking and then I watch a car go by. Not two feet away. While I’m on the sidewalk. But the hubcap pops off and hits my neck. Don’t ask me how. Whoosh. Slit. Splat. My head is now clean off and I’m still conscious. It feels so weird. From now on I’m going to pay more attention to my gut feelings.
