I was cleaning out my locker as the academic year was ending soon. When I finished taking out the stack of books in the front, I finally found those that had been missing since the beginning of the year. They must have fell behind one day and I never bothered looking before getting new copies. I was about to close the door when I realized I nearly left behind my grades and other documents on the bottom.

I had about 30 minutes left before I had to leave for class but I was suddenly given a task to do in the morning. I was to buy and raise 4 ducklings and was told that I would be compensated for my work. I was given some extra cash in order to make the initial investment.

It was getting dark and everyone was trying to hide from something. My friends had gone into an abandoned building and closed the door behind them. I banged on the door, apologizing that I was late and to let me in. When I entered, there was about five or six of us but we were unable to lock any of the doors. The windows had glass shutters which we closed as the sun was setting. When I gave the door a nudge from the inside, it was enough to be noticeable from people running outside. I pushed against the person was trying to barge in before they had found another way in. I used a plastic chopstick to secure the door before moving onto the other one.

I walked up one of the central aisles in the auditorium* and stopped at an empty seat to ask if the person next to it was waiting for someone. “No” they replied. But right as I was about to sit down they said that someone was coming. “Is there?” I asked for confirmation. They told me that there indeed was so I went off to find another seat.

It was the beginning of the academic year and a group of counselors were talking to some students in the room. “There isn’t anything in the world that no one should ever watch” challenged a student. I linked him a YouTube video through Skype with the comment: “I didn’t even watch this” at which he took back his words. There were papers on the bed as well as glitter sprinkled all over the bedsheets.

We were inside a smooth, white hallway when a crowd of people were running in asking us questions. They seemed to be challenging our math skills, asking us to graph various equations on the wall using the colored blocks. I sat down as I began constructing a tent made out of magazines and one of the advertisements on the page in front of me was a “One Step Abstinence” program that parents could enroll their children in. Someone next to me said how they used skewed mosquito population data in order to conclude that sexual activity induced infertility.

We were watching old clips of an animator that ended up working for Valve. While watching some of their older clips, we told each other that we would probably never see it being completed. It was a fight scene that was a work in progress that was later abandoned.

I was walking through the school gymnasium in an attempt to find my class that was located in the exercise room. I looked at the bags that lay beside the wall and noticed that I was in an area that was off-limits to older students. I quickly made my way across the division before I was told to get out.

We were sitting at the restaurant table and about to start eating dinner when my mother reminded my brother to call my cousin. For some reason we kept referring to my cousin as “Russia” for that was where he was at the moment. My brother called a few times but no one ever picked up the phone. We were unable to tell if he had ever seen the text messages we had sent.
