It's bright overcast outside as I drive to work. My brain is still trying to wake up for the day, but I don't feel groggy. I feel kind of light, like there's a faint buzz in my head and I'm just working on auto-pilot.

I arrive at work and sit at my desk. I work for a few hours entering information for data entry, I'm also the receptionist but strangely enough no one has walked in yet today, and no coworkers in the office have come to ask for help on anything else. It seems that everyone is on auto-pilot doing their own thing. The office sits almost dead silent.

I still feel the same. Strange. Light and buzzy and with the added seclusion the day feels so strange. I stand up, turn around and start stapling papers. There is a window nearby in my peripheral vision and I see it... the shape of a man. An unmoving statue. I freeze my head where it's at, I'm definitely not dreaming but I'm positive I'm seeing things that aren't there. I keep studying the shapes, but I don't ever look directly at it:

The bright overcast clouds are flowing by fast above the statue, and above those clouds sits a castle... distant and unreachable.

I'm honestly just so baffled at what I'm seeing that I have to look and poof, just bright overcast clouds moving by. I look away putting the window in my peripheral vision again and I can see the statue man, but it's faint. As if I caught whatever was sitting out there in the open and now they were slowly fading away.

I go back to my desk, the rest of the work day was still very strange. It flew by in no time at all, which is unlike usual, especially if there isn't a lot of action going on.

When I got home, I immediately started drawing and describing to myself what I saw and came up with this image.

[True but strange story, you can find a very short time lapse of the drawing on my Youtube.](https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/ongstmodue/peripheral-vision-daydream?updated=1746977929)
