1- In Court
Basically, spectated someone's trial. The defendant's lawyer pulled down a huge screen and projected a bunch of documents onto it for the entire courtroom to see. She informed the court that her client had been set up, and the altered documents proved it.
After sitting through slide after slide of evidence, the judge ruled that the defendant had indeed been framed and was free to go.
Mood - bored
Influence - dont know
2- Family Reunion
In a huge pavillion with entire family, aunts uncles, cousins, etc. I couldn't stand being there. Too many loud people and kids. Ended up becoming nothing more than a candy holder for some brat.
All the children went outside and dove into a huge rectangular swimming hole. Felt uneasy about that. Knew something bad was going to happen. And it did. One by one, the kids' heads disappeared under the water, never to resurface.
Found out there were giant snapping turtles under water and the parents sent their kids swimming there to be rid of them.
Mood - Worry
Influence - no clue
3- Bev's
Was at my aunt Bev's old house. My cousin and I were dancing to 90's rock music. Looked out the window into the dark and saw a row of old tree trunks. The limbs had been hacked away. The trees were underlit by landscape lighting. The shadows cast made the trees seem as if they had contorted faces. Really creepy.
Tried to look through lower windows. They were filthy, caked with dust. I traced out designs in the dust, wholly content just doing that. Was afraid to look at the trees again. Had the feeling they were watching me.
Mood - wary
Influence - ?
4- Fighting Kids
Back behind my grandmother's in her dump, 3 kids were fighting. I knew one, so went out and told the others to get the fuck off the property. They left through the bush.
Talked to the remaing kid. He said they got fighting over a school project. They couldn't agree on a single topic.
The boy was in tears, upset becasue he now wasn't going to get an A on the project. I tried to console him but he wouldn't be consoled.
Mood -concerned
