there is a building in a city.
it felt as though i've worked there for years.
someone is familiar in this dream.
michael has been working in this unit over a few months now.
our relationship is watching out for one another.
i feel like i care for him, but don't know what he is about.
the building were in seems to have a structure of a factory,
not undeveloped, but worn down.
we live in a city under constant war and anarchy.
on the main floor, in the center of the room.
there are empty cubicles.
everywhere was dark except the light from an entrance further from where the three of us were stationed.
michael, another girl, and myself were going through files.
i'm not sure what they were of, though i felt i was searching for an answer to what life was before there was no law.
i remember seeing a shelving in front of the girl.
it was filled with assorted candy.
we were discussing to one another of how we ended up in this structure.
the girl said she had needed refuge from the war, and she had been there for years.
i don't remember seeing her before.
michael made his way the few months before, also looking for refuge with no direction.
when i began to explain my reason of having ended in the same location.
it felt like a film was playing out through scenes of my words.
we were inside the building, but in the front entrance on the second foundation.
it was an open space to look around to the first floor entrance, and walk way under where we were viewing from.
every entrance was another dark entrance combining to where you were going,
but through the glass windows on the wall, you can see daylight outside.
i can look around, and see the walls are decayed, and there is debris all around the floor.
i could even make out the detail of wire frame in the wall, and wires hanging from the ceiling.. .
broken glass, and rust.
i guess we had come from the first floor, but walked up to the second area,
to overlook the front. when seeing the foundation layout, it felt so familiar.
i was explaining that i had come to this place years before in search of refuge myself.
it was tiring on my own, and running from section to section over the continent was wearing me down.
back then, the factory wasn't a place to sort files of information from the past.
it was just another hole in the wall for anarchists war amongst a failed system.
constantly there were raids, and you would always think you were prepared, untill it came for you.
the standing point where i was telling my story, was the place it was happening years ago.
it went to a past memory of me standing in the same location as another outbreak continued.
i was trapt up on the standing point overlooking the front entrance, and i had to make my way to the basement,
so that i could escape under another level through the tunnels.
this may read ridiculous, but i think my conscious made candy a form of person.
i really think it was a person who was supposed to take that part in my dream,
but for some reason it was candy.
because it goes back to the cubicle setting in my dream,
where i was explaining more of why i was there.
there was this licorice on the shelving unit,
telling of how then he remembered a story her heard about that girl having disappeared.
i explained how a person like him was the one who had saved me.
there were men after me when i was trying to figure out my way down,
instead of back tracking through the stairwell.
the licorice came and helped me down,
and through the entries i needed to get through to escape.
i don't have a story for what happened to the one that saved me.
but i think it was the reason i stayed in this place after all. i felt safe.. .
thinking he may come back.
after explaining my presence there, a siren started going off.
we were having to make our way outside to another safe point,
because our area was under fire.
michael and i were walking as though nothing was really going to happen.
as though it were a drill. we walked not even a block around the corner,
when this loud noise was getting more of a tone.
i look to where i was standing. near a smaller building, and a church beside.
i looked up higher and this missile came down, after another in the street.
there was a loud sound for itself setting up,
and after it had it's stance it began to tear apart into a movement.
the one that first went to the ground went passed me,
and the other seemed to go for me but i ran opposite in direction.
michael ran near the church,
while i was standing in the street where more missiles were dropping and shooting for a distance.
i was scared, and determined to make my way for the church near michael.
i kept thinking how i don't want to die alone,
like i might have if it weren't for that licorice that day long ago.
another set of missiles landed,
and the one nearer to me came to my direction ofter spinning,
looking for a target.
i tried to run for the church. i seen the few i was with earlier running from building to another.
michael was in front of the church pleading with me to run.
i felt i had to get to him, but every time i tried to run to, there was a missile.
when i could move, it felt so slow in pace, like i was trying to run while in a large body of water.
it killed me before i knew what happened, having my last thoughts of how i don't want to die without him.
i don't want to die alone. and i didn't want him to be alone, think i never tried or cared.
i am not sure why i dreamt of licorice as a person.
but that was what i dreamt, and i am trying to consider it as detail.
