I am in a hospital waiting to see the doctor. I have a bunch of paperwork in my lap. A man approaches and he is being very nice and chatty and I know he is trying to sell me insurance. I tell him I am angry and broke I have no money. He starts talking to my sister about me and she is buying in to his salesman charm. I lose it and start screaming at him and her and the people that work at the hospital about being bothered by this man and how this shouldn't be allowed. I walk away and start organizing someone else's paperwork they have laid on the floor. When I come back my sister has called old coworkers of mine to help me and I am angry again because I know they can't help me. They buy us lunch and I get my food and go eat in a smaller room which is for children with disabilities. There is no one there at first but then as i stand at a table eating my food 2 children in wheelchairs with health care attendants come in. One comes to my table and the attendants try to usher him away. He can't speak but I can understand him. He want to sit with me. He has a little dog and a cat. I tell them it is fine he can sit here with me. He doesn't want the food he has. He wants my food and starts to eat it off my plate. I don't care but the attendant is upset. I leave my food there and go outside and play with the puppy. The cat leaves. When I come back in the kid lets me keep the dog. I leave the hospital with the dog and start driving. I am driving somewhere but I don't know where. It was sunny and warm when I left the hospital but it's dark and rainy now and road gets windy and icy and I slide off the road into a driveway. A woman at the house gives me a water bottle filled with wine. I am drinking the wine and trying to get out of the driveway which slopes down hill and I keep sliding back. People driving on the road are sliding all over the place but I manage to make it around them and get back on the road. I am half drunk by now and I slide a little but keep going. It is light out, grey but looking like the sun will come out and warm now I am still driving with the little dog in the back of my suv. I am alone on the road for a while until an intersection where there are no stop signs or red lights. There are cars in front of me backed up a little trying to get through but the cars from the cross street don't stop at all. I go around the traffic and weave through the intersection. Coming around the cars I see an unmarked cop car inside is a cop in a white dress shirt not uniform holding a radar gun. I have to swerve back onto the road to avoid hitting him. I recognize him I saw him with his dog back at the hospital when I took the dog outside to play. I am nervous as I drive by not because he may give me a ticket some how I know he won't. But I feel like he disapproves of what I am doing. I pull over down the road a short way and pretend I am just letting the dog out to go to the bathroom but I knew he would follow me. He pulled up and his old dog an ahead of him to greet my dog. He walks over very casually to me as I am leaning against my vehicle. He has the cuffs loosely rolled up on his white dress shirt and he is wearing khakis. He is older than me maybe 10 years but very handsome and taller than me and I am attracted to him in my mind I know he is attracted to me as well. He asks me where I am going even though I know he already knows. I don't answer and he points beyond the cars across a river to a terrible looking storm and says I don't want you out driving in that. I say I will be just fine and he says no and insists I go to my parents house which is just down the road. He calls his dog and walks back to his car and my dog and I get in my car and he watches me leave. Back on the road I look at myself in the mirror and i am a mess. My hair is a wild mess and my clothes and body are dirty like I haven't showered in days. I am debating on listening to him and going to my parents or sticking to my original destination. I feel very insecure like everyone can see how bad I look. I am afraid to show up at my parents looking the way I do. I look in the mirror again and I see he is behind me so I have no choice but to listen to him.
