You wake up with your odd dream still visible in your head, which puts you in a good mood. You get out of your bed and start heading to your closet, but the closet is ... gone? You look around your bedroom, and you realize that all of the doors are gone! All that's left is the window, but you live on the seventh floor of an apartment building, so that won't do any good. You look for a telephone, but instead of one you find an intercom button. You don't remember this, but at least you can call someone for help now.
Pressing down the button, you yell, "Excuse me, is the management there?" Immediately you hear a crackly female voice you don't recognize giggle a bit before answering, "You don't have to be so formal, Chuck. Well, I'm glad your finally awake, did you forget to set your alarm clock? I told you that I would be cleaning the apartment today."
"Wait, don't come yet, I'm not dressed appropriately!" you shout into the intercom, not wanting any kind of woman see you in messy clothing without shoes.
"I know how much you want an extra set of clothes, Chuck, but I told you that I can't afford to get another set in your size. Besides, I spent a good deal of cash on our intercom, and many people in the city are already horribly jealous of that. I'll be there in a minute to get you out of your apartment so I can clean it."
Knowing that the woman would not return your next message, you wait by the window, not knowing what else to do. It does look like a good day, it is very bright and the weather looks beautiful. You look down, and unusually there are no cars out. In fact, the whole city looks barren. Where could everybody be? The woman did mention that there were many people in the city, and you remember there being at least half a million individuals based on the last census. Suddenly, the brightness around the city goes dark, and an unusual sliding sound is heard. You wonder what kind of freak weather change could be occuring and look up.
Suddenly, with a loud popping noise, your room heaves forward, exposing it to the outside air. It is very odd that your apartment now acts much like a drawer; you wonder how the management could have set that up without you noticing. It's even odder that the entire sky is black, white and pink, and moving straight towards you.
You have no time to panic as your apartment lurches high into the air and flips upside down. You fall about twenty feet before landing on a soft pink part of the sky. Except that this is definitely not the sky, it is a huge feline paw! You can see your apartment above you gripped gently between two huge pads, each one many times larger than the apartment itself! Looking down, you see a black and white striped wall of fur that makes your city seem very small in comparison. You also notice that there is a glass dome next to the city; it looks like it could make a snowglobe of the town.
"Well, Chuck, now that your up, why don't you join the rest of town with breakfast so I can get to work?" spoke the humongous white tiger woman above you. Picking you up in two massive pink pads, you are whisked into a little tray by the city and lowered in. You smell eggs and sausages, and everyone seems to be mad at you for your tardiness. You are very confused, but strangely unafraid. It's almost as if your previous, tedious life of a pencil pusher has been, dare you think it, vastly improved.
