I was at someone’s wedding and all of the tables needed to have exactly 16 people. The table I was at happened to have too many people and they were thinking of booting me out. Tensions only got worse when I felt too embarrassed to sing with everyone else.

We were meeting at the beach in preparation for next week’s school trip. All of us gathered under the spotlight shining down from the raised platform by the water. It was dark out and the sea was bordered off by sheets of tarp on all three sides. The difference in salinity from the edge of the water to the deep end was so great that you could feel the change in buoyancy.

It was already dark and time to go home. My uncle was still in the middle of the lake in his boat. When my family said we were leaving, he asked me if I wanted my Christmas present in January or February. I said January, at which he jumped into the water and swam towards the shore. It wasn’t even December yet.

I walked back to the table but had trouble finding my seat because I couldn’t find my bowl. “Didn’t I put my pasta here?” I asked the four or so people already seated. Someone pointed at my bowl that for some reason was in the middle of the table instead of at a seat. Another person reminded my that memory loss was a “sign of hypertension”.

The restrooms closest to the living room were in use so I walked down the hall and into the guestroom to use the inner restroom. However, I was unaware that the guestroom was currently in use and before I got to the restroom, I was told to get out. I caught a glimpse of a Starcraft Brood War game lobby on someone’s laptop before being shooed out.

My parents were pushing me to attend some kind of summer camp. A ride had been arranged to pick me up earlier today but I missed it as I hadn’t even packed my things. Another ride was already on its way for this evening.

In the back of the library there were six portals that led to some kind of battleground set in a series of air ducts. I eventually got tired to so I came out for some fresh air when I realized that I had wings and could jump extra high.
