Karen got up, and started to head for the bathroom when suddenly she stopped. All the sound in the Food Court suddenly ceased, as if someone had turned the plug. She turned to see the table she had just vacated, as well as the nearby table with those loud teenage girls and a bored local boy were surrounded by fog.
She frowned. Fog inside? She didn't know what was going on, but everyone touched by the strange cloud was frozen in mid motion. She rushed toward her family, worried. The cloud seemed to vanish as soon as she entered it...and the sounds of the Food Court suddenly resumed as if they'd never stopped.
