I was in a
large city... Maybe
New York... I checked into a
hotel, a fairly large one, but I didn't notice any
branding or other trade
marks on it.
There was a big
neon sign at the top but I couldn't
read it for some reason. I decided to go out and
walk around. I was sneaking around in the back alleys - looking for something, but I have no idea why or what for that matter. I came across a
park, and suddenly
I remembered that I was in this big city, and walking past a park with a bunch of homeless people sleeping or smoking their crack. I am really
scared, so I decide to head back to the hotel as
fast as I can - It's not too far away, just about a
block and I can see the big
sign at the
top of it. I notice one of the
homeless people coming towards me... He has a
knife in his hand. I want to
run but just keep walking and try not to look at him. He walks up behind me and puts the knife to my
throat. I recognise him. It's that homeless guy that was in
Apt Pupil - the one that gets thrown in the
basement at the end
(I don't wanna ruin it for those of us that havn't seen it).
He seems really
strung out - probably high on something. He is very
distrought -
babbling about something, but I didn't hear it for a few more
minutes. He is holding the knife to my neck and I start to
listen to what he's saying - He is saying that he hates
Bill Gates, since he is about to release
Windows ME, and this guy has been homeless since
Windows 95 came out. He is mad because now he will be even further behind in the
technology, and will never be able to find
a good job again. I'm not sure why he was
complaining to me, but I was sure that I didn't want to be around him... I started to take steps towards the hotel... maybe make my way back slowly and
make a run for it. He didn't seem to care that I was
inching away, he only kept moving up with me and pressing the knife to my neck. I decided that I had to make a run for it - I took off down the
street, but for some reason I coulnd't run very fast - I'm really scared but can't do anything about it. Just then he catches up to me - I knew the
knife was coming...
Then I woke up.
