Shot Down

I am at work and it seems like a normal day. I am not at my waking life job, instead I am at a job I had quite a while back doing data entry. I work in a government office in a large room with many other people. My ex-boyfriend James works there with me and he is sitting just a few desks away. I’m not happy about having to work at the same place as him, it feels so awkward, but I need the job so there’s nothing to be done for it for now. I have to go use the bathroom, so I get up from my desk and try to get to the restroom as quietly as possible, though I’m not sure why I saw the need for such secrecy. James sees me going and says hi to me, completely foiling my attempt at stealth. I walk the rest of the way to the restroom normally only to find an Out Of Order sign hanging on the door.

I still have to use the restroom, and I’m sure I’ve seen another one somewhere. I continue down the hall. I wander quite a ways away from my work area and in an area that is more of a warehouse than an office. I don’t pay much attention to the change of scenery, I keep looking. I find a restroom but when I go in I see that the toilets are right out in the open, there are no stalls. No privacy at all. I don’t want to go there in case someone comes in so I keep going out the door at the other end of the room.

Now I’m outside at what looks like some kind of loading dock. There are trucks parked along the building. I look around for a restroom. A man gets out of a truck and asks what I’m doing here. I say I’m looking for a restroom. He pulls out a machine gun and aims it at me. I’m not lucid, and I step back in surprise. I tell him I’ll look elsewhere. I turn to leave too quickly and I fall on my face. I hear the gun cock and I roll over to raise my hands in a “don’t shoot” gesture but he’s already shooting. I feel numerous bullets tearing my body apart, but I don’t feel it as pain. I just feel some pressure where the bullets hit. Everything is fading to black and I wonder if I will wake up on the other side, dead in this world. But when the dark becomes complete I just wake up.
