The sterile, fluorescent drone of IKEA drowned out the quiet. Arthur, aged twenty-three, stood motionless in the flat-pack furniture aisle, holding onto a laminate table as if it were the only solid thing left. His F2 helmet was nowhere in sight, replaced by an expression of pure, disoriented alarm. The lure of Swedish meatballs had been a complete fabrication; the shopping trolley you’d disappeared with was now nowhere to be seen, leaving him marooned in a maze of Scandinavian furniture and his own mounting dread.
