Everything was just the same as any other day.

As usual I ignored the alarm and nearly overslept, then half awake I stumbled out of bed and got dressed for work. It was on the bus that I began to suddenly realise that things were not the same - very much not the same.

On the seat in front of me was a lizardy thing all green and scaly. I went to scream for help but everyone else on the bus just ignored the reptilian passenger and carried on with their conversations.

I looked out the window and a giant cat like thing walked past, turned toward the bus and gave me a cheery wave and a wink.

Quickly pinching myself I realised that yes I was awake and obviously having a nervous breakdown.

Instead of carrying on to work I jumped off the bus a stop early and went to the Doctor’s surgery. Unusually there wasn’t long to wait before I got summoned to the consulting room. The Doctor was bent double studying his computer screen, ‘Sit down’ he muttered and carried on tapping.

I was waiting for him to turn round but could contain myself no longer ‘I think I’m going mad’ I blurt out ‘Everywhere I go I keep seeing things’.

He turned and put his scaly paws on the table and looked at me through his amber slit eyes from his brown reptilian face. ‘What sort of things?’ He asked kindly.
