I was trying to get up this hill to get to my Aunt’s house, I can’t remember why. But I’m struggling to get up this hill, it was practically at a 70 degree angle and every time I tried to crawl up I just kept slipping down, so I layed on the sidewalk to rest a bit. While I’m resting I see this car pull up towards me, it was a sky blue and cream mini bug convertible thing. It was if a clown car got a rich makeover. I was hoping to myself that maybe this person would be kind enough to drive me up the hill, so I walk over to the car and ask if there’s anything I can do to help. The middle aged woman looked at me up and down and said, “You do know this is private property right? This is a private neighborhood.” I responded “Yes! My aunt actually lives up the hill and I’m trying to get to her house.” She gave me this look and said, “Do you have an adult with you?” I was stunned, how am I going to tell this woman I AM the adult? Before I can respond she tells me I have to take her to this place, and so I do hoping that she could maybe still possibly give me a ride. It was barely farther than where we already were, an entrance to a trail that had stairs leading down to it. Once we’re there, this woman looks up at me (she was like 4’11) and says, “I think it’s time for you to go home sweetheart.” Not even a thank you. It’s like this woman can only speak in condescension. I could tell that this lady had alllll the time in the world and if I tried to walk up the hill she would throw a fit and make a scene, so I call it quits and start walking down the hill. I only walk five feet before I hear tumbling and then a crack. Before I can think of what just happened behind me I start to hear wailing, this woman was screaming and crying for help. All I could think was “maybe she should have had an adult with her” and continued down the hill, letting the woman continue to cry for help to deaf ears. And that was my dream.
