Some Glitch

It happened so quickly that I’m unsure that it was real. One moment, I was walking down the cold streets of New York City. The sound of construction. The smell of hot dog water. Then, for just a moment, I felt sand give way under my feet. The warmth of the sun on my face. The sound of waves cashing in front of me, followed by the scent of salt water. For a moment, I felt like I was on the beach of some paradise. I just told myself to keep walking. That it was a glitch caused by stress.
