Dream 10 (Sathya)
From: June 24, 2002
Characters: Sathya, Lyndsay, this old lady (grandmotherly figure), Christine Lee, and “the whole world”.

Setting: Some small town with everyone I know in it.

Editor's Note: The usual, comments and clarifications in parentheses.

      Some natural disaster happened (to start this one)! Everyone is running toward the town, and Lyndsay and I know what is happening and we are running against the flow of traffic and people, so it's (obviously) kind of hard (all of this occurs on foot, by the way). Everyone's screaming and stuff, Christine Lee included. Lyndsay and I choose to stick together and make it out of town.  
      On the way out, though, she runs into some of her old friends and changes her mind, as now she would rather stay in town and die. So I'm left alone to get out of town (Tough girl, eh?). I had packed some clothes and what I thought I could live off of for the rest of my life (Does that include BSB CDs?), as I didn't believe I would ever see my home again.
      Anyway, I meet this old lady and she and I decide to team together. We make our way through sewer tunnels above ground (I thought sewers were belowground) and stuff.  We became good friends. Once, she pretended to leave me behind at a gated entrance, but she was merely kidding. In those few hours/days of being a "fugitive", I grew to love her like a grandmother and wouldn't leave her side.
      We decide to hide out at this house, and apparently the owner isn't scared and running away. The owner is a working man with a four-year-old daughter (four or so). So we are staying at his house (In-dream quote: “I don't even think we asked [if we could stay].”), and he goes to work the next morning. Consequently, we leave and end up at the pre-freshman's (I take it that means a “middle-schooler”) mom's house. They aren't home, but I had some unfinished business (Ehm…). I had to get a movie from her that she said I could borrow. We are in a room (in the house), somehow, as we didn't come in through the door; a window, perhaps.
      Nevertheless, we were there and going through the house when she comes home. We talk (In-dream quote: “Of course she's not surprised at all that someone's in her house…”), and then I go home (What happened to the natural disaster?)…And I say it's a shame that I carried all that I needed and didn't have to because I'd be home so soon.
