I was shopping with Krishna and a bunch of the guys at the Publix on Ocala, except the place we were at seemed to look more like Waterford in Orlando. We go in and get food, but in checking out we fuck up a register that some chick is doing inventory on, and she is annoyed but not all that pissed off. She gives us a free gigantic fountain soda, though, so I am happy. While we are leaving, Krishna starts walking really fast, so I put my hand around his waist to walk with him, and when we get outside to meet the others, he said he saw Lyndon and she was glaring at him and trying to catch my eye. I said I didn't see her, which I didn't and we ended up walking though a really weird CompUSA/Staples store. Krishna was just wandering around, so I got frustrated and walked off and found this room where there was a ginormous screen that had a scene of ancient japanese warfare on horseback, which looked a lot like Dynasty Warriors or something. In the back of the theater though, there was this person dressed all in black riding this dummy horse, and whatever the girl did, the character on screen did. I thought it was really awesome and brought the guys over to show them. Then I made an excuse to go back to Publix by saying that I needed school supplies. Krishna gives me a quarter, which apparently is enough for paper, markers, pencils, and everything. (It kinda seems like it was a really long time ago, even though everything looked modern). While Krishna was handing me the money, some girl walked by and smiled really flirty at Krishna and tried to give him her change, which I promptly took out of his hand, making sure that the girl saw that I took it. She just walked away. So I went shopping while everyone waited outside, but I was sort of just wandering around. Krishna showed up after a while and we were looking at school supplies when I noticed a rat. I screamed and it ran away. When I looked back, there was another one and it was just looking at me, so I screamed and kicked it, and it lunged and attacked me, biting me on the arm. Krishna managed to get it away from me, but my arm still hurt. We decided to just go outside and not buy anything. We end up walking around, and I follow Sean and two other people into this weird fetishy store, leaving everyone else outside. We end up getting put in separate rooms and told to take out clothes off. I do, and this girl comes in, tattoos with henna number on my arm, and cleans me up, saying she was going to make me look younger. While she is doing this, she is telling me that the guy I have is great and he will give me everything he wants, with the guy parts he has left. She then gets up, tells me the download rate is .25 cents per second because of the bandwidth. She leaves my computer in front of me, and it opens two webcam windows. One is of this random naked guy who is singing into a fake mic, and the other one is this dinner with a bunch of people, but the camera is settled with this guy in monk's clothes and a shaved head. I watch that while the monk seems to recieve a present from the people on his left, a special rare type of fish. I wish I could be at that gathering, but I don't know where I am. I finally get bored of watching the two scenes, and I close the windows and see a folder filled with nothing but porn that apparently had been downloading itself. The folder is 37 gigs by this point. I remember how much it cost per second to download, so I close my computer thinking that to download 37 gigs must have taken a looooooooooooong time. I take my comp and open the door, trying to find the way out. On the walls I see shadows of people who are clearly having sex. I slowly sneak out and manage to get outside, where my car is parked not far away. I get in and drive home but nothing is there. I drive around, noticing how different everything looks, and get really confused. I go back to the store and find Sean laying on the couch, half-asleep. I ask him what they hell that place was, and he doesn't answer, he just asks how long it has been. I tell him 42 months, though I don't know how I know how long it had been. He looks at me and says that the program is supposed to take 80 months, but I left early. A women walks out and says that there was a problem because they charge by the second, and they stop charging when you take the disc out of the computer, but I had left with the disc and they needed it back. I go out to my car and find my laptop on the back floor, cracked in half. I start cursing because I don't have the money to buy a new laptop.
That's when I wake up.
