It was late afternoon, and I was walking along the road near a shopping center. I turned down the road towards a Giant which was nestled deep within the trees. As I got closer to the bridge, I saw that a guy had turned around and walked away. Confused, I continued on my way, seeing the store and all the people “in it” seated in front of the store on chairs as if the store was a stage. Trouble in the form of a redneck looking white man with handlebar moustache, a red cap, a white A-shirt tight over a beer belly and toting a shotgun blocked my way at the end of the bridge. He told me to turn around, that my kind wasn’t welcome there. To his credit, he wasn’t being horribly mean, just stating the facts. I looked all around and was considering how much I wanted to make a scene and how illegal this was, when I saw another, skinnier man with a gun lurking in the trees nearby. He carried a much more lethal energy, so I let the other man escort me back to the road. Along the right side I saw a bunch of plots and a storehouse of sorts. Then I realized they were camping spots. I lightly exclaimed at how neat it was that the place had campgrounds. The man didn’t say anything and just turned around to return to his bridge guarding duty. I was fuming at that point but didn’t think I could do much because I assume law enforcement was either under the group’s thumb or they agreed to the sentiment. I guess I was in Trump Country.
Then it was nighttime. I’d wandered down the road again just to see what was going on, and was surprised to see that all people of color who had tried to get to the Giant had been ordered to sit in chairs on the side of the bridge closer to the road while the white people sat on the other. Bad seats, for sure. Asians, black, other races… I sensed something violent about to go down and so I slipped away back to the road. The foot traffic on there was immense. Given that I had nowhere else to go, the place was unfamiliar to me, and my car had gone missing at that point, I didn’t know what to do. That’s when I spotted my mom’s cousin in the crowd. I ran after her and begged her for a ride. She kept making excuses, but I felt unsafe and was desperate to escape.
Moving on, I was inside of a Target in the nighttime. I found my mom checking out and buying some really large giftbags along with other seemingly useless items. The guy got bored of scanning items, so had me do it. I did a terrible job, and then the manager came over to check the bags, I guess because they were suspicious of me stealing things. She looked through the receipt and had me pull out the items.
Then I was inside a very large building, like a university or a large workplace. I really had to use the bathroom but didn’t know where anything was in the clearly new building. I kept opening doors but to my chagrin, the bathrooms were not yet open because it was too early in the morning. 2 men were with me all waiting to use the bathrooms, too. According to my watch we only had about 3 minutes to wait, but I really needed to go. The 2 guys joked with each other and tried all the doors. I couldn’t understand why there were 5 doors with different bathrooms in the same area. As soon as they opened, the guys ran in. I kept trying the other doors only for them to be either a man’s bathroom or something stupid like a bathroom inside of a container? I needed to use the bathroom, but I didn’t want to give up my dignity around the 2 dudes to do it. When I finally found one, it was so gross and sticky, I wanted to wait for the guys to be done. BUT THEY TOOK SO LONG. Eventually, I decided to just hold it, and wandered over to a different part of the hallway. There, I saw that the company was installing EV chargers! I was super stoked. Inside?? The 2 men were going to leave, but I beckoned the black guy over to show him the charger. He also had an EV and he was pretty stoked, too, asking me how I thought they were going to pull it off given the place was inside? I surmised that they would install garage doors and have 2 EV chargers. In my head, I tried not to get my hopes too high up because I was willing to bet money that someone would always be hogging the place with their stupid cars. As the 2 men continued to talk, I left the hallway and continued on my way…
…to the place I was supposed to have been all along before I took the potty break. I entered the classroom, taking in that I’d made it just in time. The enemy had turned the place into a dark, fluorescent den. Her students were all but gone or destroyed. I’d arrived to see that the Hero team had procured the help of a rat and had tunneled their way out of certain doom. Good thing I could fit down the hole and the enemy could not! We ended up outside in the home of a bunch of weasel type of creatures. There was some discussion about what to do next, but it was taking too long! As I feared, she quickly found us, so the Hero team took to the skies and ended up in a floating city. It wouldn’t be long before she came, so we rushed over to what was clearly the location of the final stand: water and rocks all floating in the sky.
* Curiously, there was a large bed in the middle of the expansive space, dark and glowy purple. I wasn’t sure what the plan was (at this point I was merely a spectator and not actually involved), but she then showed up all menacingly, and I held my breath in anticipation of the fight. One of the Heroes, a big, muscular man tackled her to the ground. Eager to witness a fight, I was disappointed when I realized he was not wearing any clothing at all and after a brief struggle, mounted, and, started furiously banging her. I’m not sure how willing of a partner she was, but once he started, she wasn’t doing a lot of fighting back. They kept moving to different places to go at it, and eventually ended up on the bed. She was getting really worn down by that point…I guess that was the way to defeat her?
Then I woke up.
