I was just walking from somewhere around my old city that I grew up in Maryland when I spotted a familiar looking residential street heavily shaded by trees that lined both sides which sloped steeply up a hill. I feel like I've walked this area before in past dreams and never seen this before so I knew I had to venture to the top. Man did it go steep too, not to mention the walkways became a seemingly endless series of steps. I began sweating since it was a hot summer day too and breathing hard. Even gravity felt heavier than normal. I figured maybe I was just really outta shape since it's been awhile that I last exercised. I finally reached the top though and found a round flat platform lined with ancient-looking pillars where some were even broken that outlooked a gorgeous sea that mirrored the many oranges and yellows of an early sunset. It was mid afternoon a moment ago, so it seems time moved a bit faster here. To my left I could see nearly everything over my town. I could probably even spot the apartments I used to live in if I tried hard enough. I looked around and immediately noticed several people standing at the edge. First I heard and saw two adolescent boys talking rather loudly and one even started peeing on the pillars. Disgusting, I couldn't believe how rude he was being and it reinforced how I can't stand most teenagers by default. To the right of me were 2 older girls in their 20s. We were above the water quite a ways and I found it odd that a place like this would even exist in Maryland. I mean it doesn't have mountains and you have to go pretty far from where I lived to see the ocean shore. I didn't think about these things too hard though and just wanted a picture. I went to stand near those girls and reached to pull out my phone when I realized it wasn't there. Did I forget it at home? Damn I hope not cos I really want a pic of this. One of the girls started talking to me and asking if I was looking for my phone. I said yeah and then noticed her face for the first time, both of them actually and realized they were the pastor's daughters of the church I used to go to for years. The one speaking to me was a bit heavyset while her sister was thin and I remember me and my sister privately laughing about that back in the day. It was mean and not something I'd do as an adult, but then the girl smiles at me and says its good to see me in person because she's been following me on Twitter for years. I tell her I'm surprised cos I'm not huge at all or anything and rarely post. She says she knows but still likes my content. Then she mentions something about what I had just been thinking about regarding me and my sister making fun of her. She looked sad and said she always admired me which is why it really hurt back then to see that I was just like everyone else who teased her for her weight. I felt even worse and apologized. She reached in her pocket while saying that's all she wanted and handed me my phone that I thought I forgot. Then she and her sister walked away down the hill. I was kinda shocked and confused at everything that just happened but overall glad I got my phone back. I unlocked the screen and put the camera in position to take the shot right before I woke up moments later.
