I was near the intersection on Barbur & Hamilton. I don't specifically remember seeing any of the familiar landmarks--Swan Mart, the Church, etc.--but I had a distinct impression of where I was; maybe it had to do with the lay of the land. Anyway...

It seemed to be on the way home from school; I was, in any case, wearing a backpack. Approaching the intersection, I noticed a sizable crowd of people. In the center was a man brandishing a shotgun, apparently holding hostage another man. The general hubbub surrounding the event was accentuated by swerving cars, shouting pedestrians, and general chaos. I can't remember any of what was said, but at some point the man with the gun shoved his hostage into the fray. The crowd seemed to disperse, and the man turned to me, pointed his gun, and fired.

Darkness. I got the impression that I was in that dreamlike post-death state I'd heard about, where my body was dead while my psyche lived on. My sense of wonder at this was quickly diminished, however, and I woke up.
