i just recently awoke from a horrific nightmare. it started off with me going to church. i sat next to my momma and during the prayer, she was suddenly yelling at me "is your dancing holding you back from coming back? what are you doing wrong? you are such a failure!!!" i was so shocked and confused also becuz my own father was joining in on this wild banter alongside my mother! i began crying as i said "can we do this later? like not during the prayer?" they both got louder. everyone began staring at my parents, not saying a word to stop or intercede this ridiculousness. my face grew with embarassment and i quickly walked to the restroom. they followed me in their and demanded to know what i was doing wrong. i responded "why? why do u two need to know every single detail of my life?" i stormed away crying again so hurt that my very own parents thought so low of me.
i wanted to talk to someone but i was led outside looking for my daughter. i searched and searched and saw my cousin she came to my rescue even tho she had no idea of what had happened. it was dark in the small parking lot so i decided it was time to get going. everyone but 3 people were left. church ended as soon as it started becuz of the interuption of my tactful parents.
i saw kairi walk out on the sidewalk up the steep street. my cousins and i went running for her. we headed for the van and noticed 3 creepy men walking up past us. we stopped to let them pass. the older man with long hair ran his hand through my hair. that definitely was not normal and something was up so we began to run downhill. i was behind the others so i told them "get in the van!!!! get in the van now!" then i noticed all of the 3 creepy men chasing us. so i ran as fast as i possibly could and jumped in the van. the two men sped past us in a motor vehicle down the hill, spiraling out of control they hit the tall gas tanks below and there was an explosion.
we decided to go uphill and sped past the other long haired maniac. with the doors open we sped past him and i noticed he was holding a hand gun. i yelled "close the doors!!! he has a gun!" i looked up and saw a glimmer of hope a police car! we past the female cop knowing our fears were soon to be over.
we turned around from the top of the dead end street and headed back down. there was no sign of the female police woman anywhere....we past her car and saw a body laying on the sidewalk. frightened for our lives i told my cousin to sped up and try to hit him. the creepy old man aimed his weapon and opened fired with no fear of our oncoming vehicle. i told them to duck and swerve. we missed him.
i looked behind and he jus stood there. i calldd out "where is kairi?!?!?!?!?" "right here" my cousin replied revealing her slumber to me in her chair. my heart settled. but we were still speeding towards the gas tanks at the bottom of the hill. the brakes engaged and we barely made it as we came to a sliding stop.
all three of us had premonitions of an explosion 3 different ways. as we woke to reality we caugt hold of the creepy long haired man walking toward us. my cousin was on her way out the drivers doors when i snapped at her to close the door and hit the gas. as we sped to a quick getaway the two men from before were fused together from fire burns. the white male was clearly dead but the black man was still alive. we ran over the fused bodies we could hear the black man shriek in pain. too afraid to look back we drove away. far away from that horrible scene that took place after what i thought would have been a quiet evening at churh...
i woke up....terrified and alone.
