Funtimes Salesman
When you were taken, the world froze.
For some, it was obvious. Your friends, family, loved ones, the people or creatures around you coming to a gradual stop in whatever they were doing, like animatronics grinding to a halt. For others, it was more subtle. The wind no longer blowing, the birds motionless in the air, or the settling dust that never touched the ground. For a brief moment, you were in a picture, the moment stretched to the point where it was no longer a moment.
And then, nothing.
And then, everything.
A rush of color and sound and light surrounded you, a trillion sparkles amidst a trillion streaks! You were pulled in what felt like every direction, something that jostled your very soul and rattled your brain in its skull. Just as suddenly as it happened, it was over.
And you were standing someplace else entirely...

You were now in a large stone room. Sunlight shined down from a large round hole right above. You were standing in a wide circular pool, the water barely higher than your ankles, with others just like you: strange-looking, confused, and just a little bit wet. But the more pressing issue was the crowd of people surrounding the pool. They were all dressed in long robes and flowing garments as blue as the sky above, men and women who watched you with wide eyes and open mouths. And they were all, bizarrely, the exact same height.
None of them made a move. They just stood there, some murmuring among each other, but all with their eyes fixed on the pool - and everyone in it. Waiting for... something?
