Dreams

Europa

I always thought that if I were given the chance to go to space, I'd do so even if it kills me. This thought was promptly stomped on and thrown out the window however, after hearing news that there would not be a rescue mission for my crew and I on the surface of Europa. And what's worse, I forgot to pack my earbud charger. Having to make peace with eternity, I set off on a long walk across the ice flats. 

The second moon of Jupiter is a barren world. With no atmosphere to diffract sunlight, shadows smear you completely out of view. These patches were hard to avoid with the setting of the sun. Soon enough, I was consumed.

Schoo'

I was delightfully chatting away with a friend during school assembly, 'till I noticed my peers arranging into the one most dreaded formation. This was no ordinary assembly, today we would be expected to dance. I do not do that, and neither does Daniels apparently, as he was first to bolt out of the auditorium. I followed, but was too slow and could not find him. I figured I'd just go back to student village and rot on my phone for the rest of the day. On my way across the field I found my old intermediate school. Now I was very lost. I snuck onto the grounds, and within a cranny I found a student wagging class, swinging on stair rails. He kicked at me first. I threw him over my shoulder and down the stairwell. Two more followed, one jockeying another. They quickly joined their friend in dining on carpet the next floor down. Realising I was old enough to cause a lockdown, I ran out the door and headed for the front gate. My teacher from year two spotted me. I managed to talk myself out of suspicion, and asked how to get to Student Village. I was walked to the edge of the field, and that was all.

Assailant

In a 30- something storey hotel room, turned toward the window, I was shot in the butt. I collapsed onto the floor, while my date(?) fled. The wound should've been fatal, but by the next morning I found myself breathing still. I returned to school, and found her in hospitality class. Her face melted upon seeing me again. There was so much I could see in her eyes: relief, terror, rage. What situation could we possibly be in? the shock from this scene woke me up.
