Transitions

Date: 9/26/2022

I’m living in a house with several roommates. I think we’re in college in Boston. I’m sitting next to a window and I watch seawater running up against the house just beneath the window. A bunch of us decide to go to a casino. We’re at a table placing bets and a server comes by to take our food and drink orders. A couple of the friends I’m with comment about how poorly dressed and unprofessional the staff looks (my friends are wearing ties and and sport coats). One of my friends reaches out to button the servers shirt and discovers the button is missing. I think to myself this isn’t the type of place they’re accustomed to. A manager appears and is pissed off because we’re ordering a bunch of food right at closing time. I try to smooth things over with him. They bring us our food in bags as we’re leaving. I pay with a big tip and apologize for the trouble. The other guys are waiting for me in a car. When I walk up to get in they pull forward to fuck with me. After they do this a second time I drop the bags of food on the ground. I grab a couple burgers and go to get in a different car with another friend. I’m living my with a pretty blonde and another older guy. I go for a run and I see a semi truck make an unsafe turn. The back end of the truck hits a tree and a gas pump at a gas station causing damage and a fire. I run past the scene and see law enforcement detaining the driver and taking his license. Somehow I later see the driver at home confronting his family. He has kids and his wife is a stay-at-home mom. He is in despair. I see him go into the bathroom and sit on the tub. His kids go in to sit with him as he cries. I’m running along a road and follow a dog that is well trained and alerts me to danger. The girl Im living with is my girlfriend/wife. She is sleeping with our older roommate and tells people we’re in an open relationship. She never ok’d this with me. I get angry with her when I find out and tell her I’m leaving. She’s really upset and seems confused at my actions because she assumed I would be cool with it. I’m out for a run when I come upon a church having a funeral. I stop in to pay my respects because I knew the guy who died. All the other attendees are black. One woman scolds her son for acting out. I’m sitting in front of Barack Obama who introduces himself. This is before he was president and is still a community organizer in Chicago.
