Current Events > Had a dream where I met my highschool crush for the first time in years

(+) Yeah! (+)

We hung out, and afterwards she kisses me on the lips. After we part ways, I hear her cry for help in the distance and notice someone with a shotgun chasing her. I ran as fast as I could to save her.

The shooter notices me behind him and takes a shot. Luckily, I anticipated the shot ahead of time and miraculously dodged, being far away enough. He immediately continued his pursuit of my crush thinking he had got me.

He eventually catches her on a curb and shoots her point blank in the torso (I think, can't remember what part of the body exactly).

I'm not sure what his intent was since I didn't see him take anything from her, but he quickly makes his way towards a small nearby cornerstore and shoots the place up. I can only assume that he wanted to have some "fun" since he did make his way to the cashier and rob the place.

I was so was so wracked with grief and a need for vengeance that I bolted to stop the shooter before he hurt anymore people (I'm assuming there was someone nearby calling for help in hindsight, because I'm otherwise not sure why I made that decision).

Inside, I notice things flying in the chaos, giving me his position. I steadily make my way around the aisles until I'm close enough to take him by surprise. He notices me as I closed in, and attempts another shot me. I use gathered 2 liter soda bottles to chuck at him, one somehow blocking the blast and bursting instantaneously, knocking the gun out the thug's hands. I seized the opportunity and grabbed his gun, getting at least a couple shots on him while falling on my ass in the process. The store clerks cheered in relief while others were caring for the injured. I think one other person died.

I rushed back to my crush before the authorities finally arrived. Holding her in arms, I realized I was already too late. I held her in my arms as I slowly saw her life slipping away as confessed my love to her. I don't know if I my the right choice, I don't know if I could have saved her if I got immediate help, I didn't know what to think.

That was so crazy I thought I'd chronicle it here. Glad it ended up being a dream, Jesus.
