We had decided to go to their apartment so we ran into the underground parking lot to take the elevator without going through the front door. They rang the front desk with the intercom to tell the security guard to let us up. After waiting around for a few minutes, they walked across the lot and through another door, promising that they would be quick.

A few more minutes passed until the guard finally came down. I got nervous as my friend wasn’t here and the guard proceeded to ask me for my ID. “I have none…” I said as I made my way to the door that they had ran into. I told them to hurry up as the guard was here. I saw through cracks in one of the two doors that they were in the restroom connected to a larger conference room which had large amounts of cash on the table. The two men were watching them intently as they made their way towards the door. They told me that they were in debt.

I found out that I had the ability to rewind short periods of time. I was laying on the bed and watching my niece in the furniture section of the supermarket. I playfully flicked her shin at which she started to cry. I didn’t see it as a big deal and tried to soothe the child as my family looked at out direction. When her mother picked her up, I realized that it was more serious than I thought and that I had broken some of her bones with the flick. Horrified, I closed my eyes shut and found myself standing in the appliances section of the store. I met up with my family again as if nothing had happened.

A few days later, my father and I were visiting a large cathedral somewhere in Europe. We walked up thousands of steps that ascended towards the top of the building under the midday sun. When we got to the top, we were able to peer at the concert being held in hall below via the openings in the roof. All of a sudden, my dad fainted and fell backwards, tumbling 20 or so steps before lying limp on the stairs. I thought to myself I wouldn’t rewind unless it was something fatal.

We were now walking down the steps and ahead of us we saw an enormous stone tower. Despite its size, we were told that it was actually a replica of the “Tower of Heaven” in China. This rendition must have already been at least 50 stories tall, considering its distance from us and the fact that its foundations were actually at the bottom of a pit.

We were watching a show on TV that began with a child under a blanket inside of a cage. We weren’t quite sure why the child was wrapping himself so tightly with the blanket until it was time for his “wake up call”. As an alarm clock started ringing, a stream of rats flooded the cage through a tube at the top. The boy was now screaming, as the critters scratched and bit through the blanket that was protecting him. I couldn’t make out what the intention of this show was supposed to be.
