The Dream
I was outside, and saw a boy...named Bryan Tagge walking in the snow. But suddenly there was gunfire, I knocked him down to the ground as a sniper was trying to kill him for some unknown reason. He'd already killed another, a girl. And we were trying to figure out what he wanted, but Bryan was tired of hiding, so we used him as bait and he got shot at....
Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)
