Lenny Parker looked around. He was sitting upright on a bed. He was obviously in a bedroom but he didn't recognize it. It had the usual things, the bed of course, but also end tables, a dresser, closets, a rack for nick-knacks. In the corner, a stand with many levels that contained several flowerpots. There were curtains on the windows and a mirror behind the door. It was quite ordinary.

On the bed with him were many stuffed animals. There were five or six, including a big stuffed dog, a couple of teddy bears, a stuffed cow (all in light brown colors similar to the bedsheets and one odd-looking animal in a relatively bright orange.

Lenny swung his feet over the side of the bed, that is when he realized what he was wearing. He was wearing a short, flannel nightgown that descended to just below his knees. His feet were bare.

“What am I wearing?” he asked himself. His feet landed on the floor, he was about to walk away, but instead, he reached for the stuffed dog and cradled it in his right arm. It made him feel better to hold it. He walked over to the dresser drawer and looked for something more appropriate to wear, perhaps a pair of jeans. But all that was in the drawers were skirts and tops. They were big enough to fit him, but they didn't have any sex appeal. They were cutsie clothes a young girl would wear. Lenny found the same in the closet.

Lenny walked to the door. It was closed. He transferred the stuffed dog to under his left arm. His left thumb found its way into his mouth. He was sucking it. This action didn't register to him. He turned the knob on the door with his right hand. The door opened easily.

“Oh, you're up?” the woman on the other side of the door asked. “Come for breakfast,” she said cheerily.

“What am I?”

“Oh, it's wearing off, no matter., come with me.”

The woman grasped Lenny's right hand and led him down the hall and to the kitchen. Lenny didn't let go of the stuffed dog, nor did he remove his thumb from his mouth. They comforted him.

In the kitchen, the woman handed Lenny a gummy. “Take your vitamin,” she told him.
