Hit and run
I'm driving somewhere with Josh. We're in his black SUV, driving along 120 (he's driving), talking about something. Suddenly, I notice that the car in front of us (another black SUV) has stopped, but Josh hasn't noticed. I point it out, and he tries to brake and swerve, but he still ends up clipping the right-back corner of the car in front of us. I try to check myself over for injuries, especially my neck, but nothing seems sore, so I'm very thankful. I'm surprised when Josh doesn't stop but just keeps going. I ask him if this isn't committing a hit and run, and he makes a noncommittal response. I look behind us and see that the other car is following us.
Now we're in town, driving through a winding, one-lane area with cars parked everywhere. Somehow, we get cornered, and the guy calls from his car to see if we'll stop now and trade insurance information. Josh agrees. The guy confirms that Josh really will stop, and Josh says that, yes, he really will. They both pull into parking spaces, but Josh pulls in backwards. As soon as the opportunity presents itself, he races out of the space and away. I look around to see if the other car is following, but they're not. Josh cautions me that there's probably another car trailing us now, one of the guy's friends, and asks me to look around and try to find the tail. I start to look around us, noting what cars I can see and who the drivers are. I see two or three cars that are suspicious and try to remember them. I'll keep a watch and see if any of those cars really is tailing us.
Now we're in a parking garage. We're parked in a space (again backed in), and a car has parked in front of us, blocking our exit. The new car is very strange. It's actually a pair of huge candy-red bikes joined by a sort of cage. The bikes can be removed and driven separately, or they can be combined together into car mode. A woman demonstrates removing the driver-side bike and riding around the parking garage. The wheels are ovals, so the thing bounces up and down crazily, but I understand it's a very efficient design. She brings it back over to the car and mates it with its twin. I see a warning label right above the front wheel saying that it's not a recreational bike, it's a car, and it should be used as such, even when in bike mode.
Escaping dog
I'm at home, in our entryway. The kids are going out the front door to do something. They're careless and our dog manages to race past them and get out. He only runs like that when he's chasing after something; and that probably means he's seen another dog and is going to go be aggressive. I take off as fast as I can, running after him and calling for him to stop. I'm only wearing socks, and there are gumballs (spiky seed pods) on the ground, so it makes running difficult. Across the street, I see that a woman has her dog out, but she's seen my dog racing for them, so she's getting her dog inside and closing the door.
Now I'm on her driveway, my dog's collar firmly in hand. The husband is outside, and I'm apologizing to him. He's pretty unhappy with us, but I don't think he's going to do anything rash. I try to change the topic a little by telling him that we've never really met, even though we've lived across the street from each other for nearly 10 years. I introduce myself and reach out to shake his hand. After a moment, he shakes it.
Fragment
I'm in a small group of people. All of us are carrying large firearms - shotguns or rifles. It's awkward, though, because the muzzles are all tied together with a fairly short rope.
