I was running late for a train, I didn’t even know the number of. I had paid for it via a machine, but there were a pile of tickets on the floor and I couldn’t work out which one was the right one. None of them had the right dates on, so I just took one that was for the 27th and ran for the nearest train. As I ascended the stairs, I spotted some people I used to go to school with. “Thank God.” I panted, out of breath. “They must be going to the same destination!” I tried to follow them (trying not to look too stalkerish) but this crowd of Orthodox Jews walked in front of me and I lost them. In the end, I just gave up. Next scene; I was at this meeting, sat around a table. My friend, kylie, was sat next to me, crushing a rubber with a pencil. The tutor put ‘Afterlife’ on for us to watch. “I’ve just seen this series.” I said. Everyone glared at me as if I said something really out of term. We sat in awkward silence, watching the series. Next scene; I had parked my car in a random field. My mother-in-law was there complaining about how backwards her granddaughter (my sister-in-laws baby) was because she couldn’t even speak yet. I explained that she was only a baby and she’d probably catch up in her own time. The baby was crawling around in my car, causing all sorts of havoc. She kept pressing various different buttons. “See what I mean!” She ranted. Next scene; My Husband and I were having sex, but halfway through he pushed me off (before finishing) and said he was feeling too tired. I felt rejected.
