"We had fun analyzing this one... but only in the dream." David Mulhern

And I was walking down the stairs of a school I've never been to, far away from where I am now, and I was talking to Molly on my cel phone. I was walking towards the door. 

Mark and I were on our way to lunch... as we walked out the door I said, "Should I clock us out?"

I walked back inside to do it, but the system had changed. Now, when you got to where you were going to eat they would scan your card, then when you got back... they would do it again. I walked back outside, still talking on my phone.

Mark was waiting outside with a huge group of people... I pushed my way though them. Mark had a van. I looked at the van, then the people and I told Mark I would meet him somewhere and I pushed through the huge crowd and I got in my car and I felt safe and I started driving...

I can still vividly remember driving towards the exit ramp. I was having the most interesting conversation with Mona, Mark's girlfriend. We were analyzing everything I was saying. 

Right when I got off the exit I realized I was really talking to Molly. "Wait, who is this?" It was so interesting. I told her I thought she was Mona. We had so much fun analyzing my changed personality based on the fact I thought I was talking to Mona. It felt so comfortable and interesting analyzing what had happened. It was so interesting.

And I got back to the school and I was running in the rain and yelling to her about how alone I felt and how fucking lonely I was and I was getting soaked and it was so incredible the rain fell so hard and I walked inside the school... and I realized my conversation was being played on the speakers all throughout the school...

And I looked at everyone's faces so I could know who did it... Behind all the cable's was an adult male with blue hair.. and I said, "Okay, the guy with the blue hair did it!"

Suddenly, in the kitchen another guy told me not to sue him. "That's what they want you to do.." He said. I realized it was my uncle Tom. He was just trying to help. I said, "I know you're a millionaire, and my parent's are millionaire's and my mom told me she wouldn't help me with my case."

Then my parents and I were talking and I was so upset about the situation and my mom wouldn't let go of my arm, so I pulled my arm away and pointed at her. She looked scared and looked at my dad. "He's just trying to make a point..." He was proud of what I did.

And I was so passionate... "I can't believe someone would exploit children that way!" I was very passionate about the point I was trying to make. It was strange...

Suddenly, I realized I'd never actually ended up meeting Mark for lunch.

Go Back
