I remember that I was living off the land near a beach, but for some reason there was something I needed, so I went a couple miles to the nearest store which was in the middle of nowhere, but near a road. At the store I talked to the guy for a little bit, but when I went outside the sun had already almost set, I was losing daylight fast. I hadn't even made my fire for that night yet! The night would be hell if I didn't have a fire, not to mention making my way back in the dark. I knew I'd almost never be able to start a fire in pitch darkness. Part of what I was doing was apparently not using modern tools, but it seemed urgent enough to try and get a lighter from the guy there. He looked kind of like M Night Shyamalan for some reason. I had started panicking and tried explaining to the guy my situation and was asking for a lighter. He said "Ooh you're doing the Caveman Lifestyle huh?" I said yes, thankful that there was a reasonable explanation even if that wasn't exactly how it was. The way he said it made it seem like it was some fad with young people and hippies like being vegetarian or going on the paleo diet or something. While we were talking, he had me wait and calm down a for a little bit, and it seemed like he was cool about everything. Then police car pulled up outside and I freaked out. "If anyone would I thought you'd understand!" I said. "Then you went and called the Sherrif!" He said "I am the Sherrif." And got out his Sherrif hat from behind the counter and put it on his head. I socked him in the face and ran out the back door. As I was running I knew they were looking for me, but I was trying to make my way back to the camp near the beach. I think I remember my camp being on some rock overlooking the beach. All of a sudden I came to a grassy hill and started somersaulting down it... on purpose for some reason. Now I was in third person watching myself roll down the hill. There were these 5 large metal lines splayed out, dividing 6 sections of a half circle facing away from me where the hill became flat before ending in a sheer drop. I rolled into the section third from the left. All of a sudden I'm farther along nearer the beach and im wearing an astronaut suit with no helmet and a skintight thing over my neck head and ears, but not face. Kind of like buzz lightyear. There's small spacecraft and stuff all around on grass, almost like an astronaut convention or something. Plus there's a lot of other people dressed like astronauts. The Sherrif and his cops are nearby and asking about me, still looking. But they don't see me, or don't recognize me in my astronaut getup. I'm still in third person but looking down at myself. I pull out a space walkie-talkie and start asking for help and I can see the comm waves travelling up to space.
