Despite the one hour claim, I really liked this. It has an abstract feel, a touch of the completely unexpected.

Only crit, the first accented words I didn't quite get. Maybe write it less accented, but tell us where the accent might come from.

Typo alert - 'under you feet'. Aside from that, I really dug this. I hope there isn't a logical explanation meant to tie it all up - I love the kookiness, the weirdness transplanted into a mundane lunchbreak. A textbook example of how to use the second person effectively.
Everything rokkit says, kooky and fun.

Typo, I think: "Well, I suppose my mum is from Yokohama originally and my dad is from Stepney." You say awkwardly. Yes, agree with the above. Wonderfully quirky read. Read it earlier, been periodically thinking about it since, that can't be a bad thing.
Pretty awesome, the idea I mean. Second person always feels like "Choose Your Own Adventure" books which rock the proverbial cock!
Pretty much as above, i liked the oddness of it, and wouldn't want all the kookiness explained to me. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not a great fan of the secon person POV though, doesn't really work for me, and think it would've worked better in first/third. Just my opinion. But it didn't detract from my enjoying this short read.
