What's Going On

The next day all Alex can think about was how real the dream was. And why in the world was his envelope in his pajamas. Alex put the games in the envelope and folds it closed. He sits at the dining room table and ponders the nights events before leaving for work. He opens his eyes and sees not his dining room but a wooden floor and a old west style bar. "What is happening to me?" The room is filled with a bunch of people in old west garb. The envelope still in hand Alex walks up to the bar to talk to the barkeep. "Whatcha want fella?" Alex stands stunned and says "What is this place?" The gruff old barkeep says "The Rattlesnake, whatcha want ta drink?" "Uh, nothing thanks." Alex looks around at all the customers and spots a large man being rough with a young lady. "How 'bout a kiss sweetie?" says the large cowboy. Alex walks over to see what's going on. The man turns to face Alex as he approaches and says "Back off boy we're busy." "I don't think she wants to be busy with you mister." Alex replies The man lets go of her arm and draws an old six shooter from a holster. Alex freezes and the place empties. "You should'da minded you're own business boy." Alex's eyes search the room for some kind of help. But the place is empty and it looks like Alex has made a bad move. Due to his mind being on the problem at hand Alex drops the envelope and the two games fall out. "Weird." he says. Distracted for a second by the fact two Xbox games are on the floor in an old west tavern. "Hand me that boy!" says the man with gun still drawn. Alex bends over to pick it up and sees a solid white mouse over in the corner. As he grabs the envelope he hears a car horn honk behind him. Alex realizes he is now at a red light in his Jeep in the middle of Birmingham.
