At Kinneys waiting in line to buy gum and a black man with a gun keeps walking around the store. I get a feeling that something bad will happen. Man with gun leaves. I'm racist. It is my turn to buy the gum. I ask cashier where something I forgot was and the fat man behind me tells me that it's in the back and I must go NOW. he then tells everyone to go where there are check marks on the wall because they are the only safe spots for when the bomb goes off. Everyone runs to a check mark. Once there, fat man pulls out a gun and says that if anyone moves from our check mark. we will die. I text my friend my location and say call 911. She thinks it's a joke. I'm stuck. I watch in what feels like real time for days as we all get weaker without food and water. Old frail black woman with her grandchild is the first to die. She died of thirst and lack of medication. Fat man is her preacher and knew that's how she would go because he knew of her illnesses. My head starts spinning from lack of food and water. I ask fat man if I can have water. He takes me outside with a gun to my head. I fear for my life. Once out he tells me I am the chosen one and that I was the one he was looking for. He shows me that life after death is real and that god is true. I see god. I wake up.
