(no subject)
although i do love dreams with narrative. i'm trying to free the people of a city, there's been a confrontation. the man has an amulet that when he says a command, it must be obeyed. i convince him to let us go - let us get on a train - if we discard all our firearms. we do so (i sneak one through the door but his Head Woman who betrayed him to escape looks at me and says 'you'll regret that' so i open the door and throw it back through.)
we run to the train, most people are already on but it starts to draw away. the door won't open. i cling to the side as it leaves the platform, my hands hurting. i see people left behind. i cling. look through the window. the dictator is sat in the chair staring at me. he smiles and draws a gun. shoots the window. crack. shoots again - i flinch away - crack. shoot. crack. this time, i manage to jump/slide backwards to the next door. the dictator thinks i've fallen. this door slides open and i sneak on the train. i go to him, punch him twice, try and wrestle the gun away from him. he falls to the floor and begins rubbing his hands on the floor. i shoot him in the back, he's still doing something. i wonder about all this pain he's caused and then shoot him in the head.
on the floor besides the fallen amulet is written KILL YOURSELF. i pale and my hands raise the gun to underneath my chin. seconds before i pull the trigger, a passenger jumps forwards and smudges the words. they lose their power and i am alive.
i turn and see the Head Woman lying in a pool of blood. i put the amulet around my neck and go to her, she sees me. frowns.... and then smiles. she can't speak so i tell her 'you can't feel any pain.' she smiles harder and then dies.
then i make an announcement to the train.
THANKS DREAM.
