Okay so last night's dream really creeped me out. It was like I couldn't wake up! Okay, first, I was at college. I was meeting new people because Deena and Cara and Zoie were all gone. I was taking Watson's class all over again, but he gave us assigned seats. It was weird. I hated it so I left class and never went back. I decided to quit school and go back to work, I guess. But I didn't work at the fireworks store anymore, I worked at Regions downtown, and it was where Ben and Jerry's actually is now. Another strange thing about going back to work: it wasn't really a bank, it was a Build-A-Bear workshop!!
So, I was working... working... working... It was just me there for a few minutes but then Cade came back from lunch and it was me and him. And then some new guy named Matt came in. So yeah, I sold bears and had to enter data into a computer... but the computer wouldn't bring up the right page. It was acting all crazy. People had bear orders already made and I had to figure out whose was whose. Becca came in from nowhere and I had to go get her order off one of the shelves. She said something about certain colors. There were like five people with her name in the system. I showed her what each one had, but she said none of them were her order. One of them was a pack of "female products" and there were no stuffieds. I thought something was going on because people had to have been taking bears out of the ordered packages.
She left and I felt bad so I said Happy Birthday as she walked out the door. I looked up at Cade and I asked, "Don't people usually get free stuff for their birthday?" He said, "I don't know... I guess so." He was a lot of help! And Matt said, "YES THEY DO!" So I ran after her and she came back inside and I went behind the register to get her free stuff. I felt really frightened to be standing back there... Like a knife was going to kill me out of nowhere. I couldn't find the rainbow unicorn that I was supposed to give her. Cade was standing in one of our many aisles, throwing garlic salt on some stuffed animals. I noticed that one of them was a unicorn. So I went back there and took it down and gave it to her. She left right away. No, the salt thing wasn't weird in my dream. So, yeah, then I was trying to put her name into the database and take the unicorn out of inventory... But the computer freaked out on me and I gave up. I think I threw it, or something like that.
I walked around trying to get people to hurry up and leave because it was almost closing time. We'd been in there all night long and no one had come to relieve us of our shift. The phones weren't working. Every time I dialed a number, I got a creepy feeling, like the knife thing. People were just taking bears and leaving. For some reason, we had freezers in the store, along the walls like a grocery store would be set up. I went and looked into one of the freezers and there was a dead body in there!! I don't know whose it was but it was one of the people I work with! I freaked out like crazy people and ran to get Matt and Cade. They tried to call the police, but when they started to dial the number, the lights flickered. We rushed people out of the store and when we were finally outside, I tried calling the cops but no one was awake. It was like 3 am. I couldn't even find a bus to take me home. So I had to stay in the store overnight with Cade and Matt.
So, first off, we tried to find a bathroom. We found one without a shower but it was too dark. There were no lights, only windows. So then we found one with a shower... and there was a dead body. I had the distinct feeling that everyone we worked with was dead and the killer was still in the store. I was crying and trying to get one of the guys to hold on to me, but they were scared and couldn't comfort me. There were a few bedrooms (I KNOW RIGHT) and they were all super dark and had lots of doors for a killer to hide behind. We went back out to the main storeroom and tried to sleep out there, but it was too creepy. We noticed everything had been stolen. Well, everything that mattered. Money, knives, jewelry. I was feeling around under the register and my purse was gone, so the killer had definitely been in the store all day. I got a shiver down my spine and I yelled at Matt and Cade to come outside with me. Matt was busy screaming and crying in the bathroom. I guess the dead body was at one time his girlfriend. Well I went in there to get him but he was dead. =[
I flew out the front door and Cade was right behind me. I dialed some weird number, then I typed in Susie's name, hoping it would find her for me, but then I typed in 911. Someone said hello, and then whispered to someone. Then I said, "Hey, is this dispatch?" The lady said yes and then I proceeded to tell her the entire above story. I was sobbing and shaking. She said she was sending someone. Then I said, "All I want is my damn paycheck!!" She said she would give me 2000 dollars. Haha.
I found a car and drove home. Turns out I live in Chattanooga but it looks just like Whitwell. As I was driving, I tried typing Susie's name again. I mis-spelled it so many times, then I typed in her last name. When I hit "SEARCH", a bunch of balloons flew up out of my phone. They floated in different directions. Apparently, they were supposed to find every woman by the same name as my manager. XD I followed one in particular but it led me to a graveyard. TONS of people were following the balloons too, and when I got there, they were looking up at it, trying to figure out where it would land. Because there were lots of tombstones there. It landed right in front of me on a tombstone labeled SUSIE 2008. I was like "whew" because she definitely didn't die in 2008. I ran back to the car to find the other balloons. I ended up meeting up with Cade and some of my friends. We were all old for some reason, and we were slapping each other on the back for surviving the killer-in-the-store ordeal. We decided to all go back to the store to reminisce. As we neared the store, time rewound and it was the day after I had left.
We all went inside and it was clean. The cops had been there. I looked around to see if the delivery guy had left paychecks, but there was NOTHING back there. I searched everywhere and eventually found a cabinet that had a lot of change in it. I decided to leave it there. I found Susie's head in a freezer up front and screamed until my throat hurt. Cade ran out of the back and he was covered in blood. I thought he was the killer for a minute but it turns out that everyone else was dead and he had been checking them for vital signs. So by then, you can imagine my horror. The cops hadn't found the killer and they had to scour the entire store! At one point, we heard sirens and a "come out with your hands up" shout. We went outside and we were both wearing fluffy dresses so the cops laughed at us. Then they left and we went back in. We heard footsteps running around in the back. It was so quiet besides that, because both of us were holding our breath. Then we heard a door slam. Oh God it was scary. I felt like strobe lights should have been going on and off because it was a very Halloween moment. Cade and I decided to check out the noise and go find money and weapons. Then I found a drawer that had mini-drawers in it, full of cash. I was in a hidden bedroom in the back. There was also a knife inside a towel, and it was sorta clean but sorta tarnished with dry blood. I took it and Cade scared me by whispering my name from the doorway. I jumped and as I turned around to face him, I saw a strange outline in the wall across the room. It was like a doorway built into the wall, same paint and everything. My heart started to beat super fast. I passed the outlined door to get to the hallway and me and Cade ran down to another room and hid in there for a minute. We were kind of afraid that we would die no matter what room we were in, but that doorway was just ominous as hell. After a few seconds of getting ourselves together, I peeked around the door jamb. I had a side view of the wall that had the hidden door in it, and the door was slightly open because the wall wasn't perfectly flat. I told Cade this, and we took off down the hall toward that room, but only because that was the direction we had to go to get to the storeroom. With every door we passed, I fully expected to be ambushed by the killer and have my face cut off. My nerves were shot! I was totally on edge. Then I saw a shadow move and I swear I saw eyes from the crack in the hidden door ahead. I yelled, "He's in there, I see him!" Cade grabbed me and pulled me into a recess in the wall, where we both tried to find some weapons to protect ourselves. Both of us sort of expected to die no matter what kind of protection we had. I found my used knife inside the towel and took it out. Then Cade threw the door open and the killer was standing right there! It was a tall, chunky man with girly hair and ugly eyes. He was smiling at us. He looked sorta like Meatloaf (the musician). I screamed and started to stab him. He seemed unfazed by my attack and tried to take the knife out of my hand. I stabbed him over and over and over in the chest where his heart shoulda been, but he didn't seem the least bit hurt. It felt weird because I could feel the knife cutting through some bones. It made a weird sound. Then I stabbed him in the neck and finally the eye. I took out a good chunk of his face, and finally he staggered. But only for a second. He took out a knife of his own, and it was bigger. I threw mine down the hall so he couldn't use it against me. I didn't let his knife get me in the chest. I took it with my hands and then blood was going everywhere from the slashes in my palms. It was like I didn't feel it. I turned it around so he stabbed himself a couple of times, and then he tried to use it as a gun. It made gun-like sounds, but even in a dream I know that's against the rules so there were no bullets and I wasn't harmed by it. Then I snatched the knife from him and stabbed him in the other eye, then I skinned his face. It was so gross. Then I grabbed him by the pants-leg to steady myself as I bent over and tried to cut his feet off. That made him freak out and try to run away. The police were outside and Cade was nowhere to be seen. The man shuffled toward the exit and I kept slashing at his ankles. I skinned them. It hurt me to do it because it just looked ******** painful.
I was slightly awake by then but I was trying to finish him off in my dream. I went back to sleep and I was taking him outside. The cops were gone by then. I saw a train track and pushed him out onto it. A train was coming down the street so I timed it... but then a car swooped by and picked him up just in the nick of time. Some man named Rick Gold or something. He had a fancy car and was telling the guy that he'd be rich and famous one day if he stuck with him. I cried and cried and cried. Cade came up to me and asked if the guy was dead. I said no, that he had gotten away. Cade hugged me while I cried and then I woke up for real.
