The trials

I was in an arena, it wasn't like a stadium. It was like the aftermath of a war. Rubble everywhere. Places to hide, but also open areas. I had to survive against a ethereal gargoyle. I didn't have to kill it, just live. Mostly I darted for covered building to covered building. After so long the gargoyle grew in size and wasn't able to do much. I won the round. Next I had to survive a dark knight. He looked as if he had come out of Dark Souls. This was much harder. I continued to run and hide, others were not so lucky. I could feel the knight closing in on me. The time ran out. I survived. I had to go to this house to get pictures done and help with a tv ad. That's what I got for winning. It was a family's home, a husband and wife with three children. The one son, I went to high school with but was only acquainted with him. I don't know how the ad turned out but it took awhile and ended up being close to morning. My boyfriend showed up uninvited and fell asleep on their couch. I urged him to wake up and leave. To put his shoes on. The family had already gone to bed and I was easy to leave. My boyfriend had a fit and continued to stay on the couch. I was angry. I had to find my shoes. I remembered putting them in a living room. I searched and searched and then the wife told me I probably left them upstairs. I went up stairs and there was a party going on at the table, they were celebrating something similar to Christmas. I walked into the living room and found my shoes. A man was sitting in a rocking chair watching me and smoking an old pipe. It weirded me out. On the way out the door the son I knew wanted to chat. To catch up or flirt maybe. I finally make it out to my car and I open the door. A scrawny black guy in a blue and yellow jacket yelled at me from his car. He was standing between his door and the car. I saw that he had a gun. I thought I had two options, hand over my car immediately or hop in quickly and run him down. Before I could offer my car he shot at me and I ducked inside my car for protection. I wasn't hit. He yelled something at me, which made me grab my pepper spray. It ended as I picked up the pepper spray from the center console.
