A dream about surviving a bomb explosion inside the mall...
Last night, I dreamed that I was among the sole survivors of a bomb explosion located inside a busy mall. I was going around the store that Eileen (Hellpixie) owned / worked at (which offered books, baked goodies, and more) with Dave and a couple of other friends. After we bought a few things, we headed out to the nearby food court to eat. A few other people joined us at the table, including this strange girl with diminished mental capacity. She looked like Elisha Dushku, only with mousy blonde hair... we later found out that she was the mad bomber. Everything at the busy mall certainly seemed to be going as normal, until the strange girl told us that we absolutely HAD to follow her down into the mall parking lot immediately!
We questioned her about it, but she seemed insistent that we follow her into the bowels of the mall. As we got up from the table, we could see one fuse lit and about to blow... that only increased our willingness to go with her! We wanted to warn the other people in the mall, but knew that time was far too short for that. Instead, we booked it down the underground passage into the parking lot: we could see the other fuse in a 10-metre pipe about to blow, and hoped we weren't next.
As we descended into the depths of the mall in a red milk crate (don't ask me, I don't know :P), we could hear a somewhat-muffled explosion that was quickly followed by lots of screaming and crying... then we could see what looked like floating pieces of the earth and the mall. We asked the strange girl why she'd done this: her answer was that she wanted to get her revenge against certain store clerks and rude mall patrons in general. She'd saved us seven because we were nice-looking, and she'd presumably get less time in jail if she saved people. That was not the case for her, although the other seven of us were very grateful we'd been marked for survival. When we got out of there, we were greeted by investigators and the bomb squad. The strange girl quickly gave herself up, and the rest of us were free to go after we answered some of their questions... phew! End of dream.
No, of course I don't wish for Eileen's death! (I wish that my friends and I could be saved from certain death, but that's something else!)
