I had a pretty vivid and realistic glitch moment

It happened when I was walking home from work yesterday (I work late shifts, so it’s around 10pm). It was pretty cold, and I was lost in thought, so my eyes were fixed on the ground in front of me.<br><br>I was walking down the main road that connects my apartment complex to the grocery store. I was about halfway down the road, when I felt something weird happen. It was like my perception of my surroundings shifted.<br><br>I looked up, and for a second, I thought I was walking down a street, but it looked like a street from another country. I could see the building across the street, and it was a 2-3 story apartment building. The building I lived in was behind me.<br><br>I was surprised, and looked down to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I looked down, and saw my own feet. They were in my apartment shoes, but they looked a bit off. They looked a bit more pixelated than they usually do.<br><br>I thought that maybe it was because I was daydreaming or something, but then I looked up at the building across from me. I saw two men in suits walking away from the building, and one of them was looking back over his shoulder, like he was checking to see if anyone was following him.<br><br>I was in complete awe, but for a moment, I thought maybe it wasn’t real. I didn’t know what to make of it, and I thought maybe it was just a weird daydream. But then, the man turned back around and looked directly at me. It was so realistic, it made me feel like he was looking right through me.<br><br>That’s when I realized that something was wrong, and I snapped back to reality. I quickly looked around, and saw that I was still walking down the road, and the building across from me was actually the grocery store. The building that looked like an apartment building was nowhere to be seen.<br><br>I couldn’t believe it, and I felt like my whole world had been turned upside down. I had a lot of questions, but the only one I could think to ask was: What the fuck was that? I was in a state of confusion, and my mind was racing.<br><br>I continued walking home, and I didn’t look back at the grocery store. I felt like something bad would happen if I did. I got home, and went straight to bed.<br><br>I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong, and that I had just witnessed something strange. I felt like my whole reality had been questioned, and I was left with more questions than answers.<br><br>I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since, and it’s really been bothering me. I don’t know what to make of it, and I’m not sure if I should be worried or not.<br><br>Has anyone else ever had a moment like this? What did you think it was, and how did you feel afterwards?
