Her perfect smiling face was plastered on posters and banners all over your college campus.
There was even a poster plastered to the right of your dorm room door, on the outside hallway wall.
The smiling girl was a tree hugger - her posters urging students and staff to stop supporting fast fashion as millions of wasted clothes end up in landfills each year.
You saw her face so much, you begun to dream about her!
The two of you lived together in a perfect house in a perfect town with two perfect kids, and two perfect dogs!
To be honest you didn't even think the poster girl was a real person.
You assumed she was one of those AI models.
Surely no human being on Earth could be that pretty....
You were high as fuck the first time you saw her in person on campus- so you still didn't think she was a real person.
You thought she was just a drug induced hallucination.
That whole day had been such a blur.....
You had been up the night before snorting and smoking and popping all sorts of shit trying to keep yourself awake and focused.
You had two midnight deadlines - one for an exam you hadn't had enough time to study for and one for your new song release that you hadn't had enough time to perfect.
Unfortunately.....the drug combination just knocked you unconscious and you missed both of the deadlines.
You woke up at 8 am, the next morning, to angry emails from your professors and hate from your disappointed fans who stayed up all night waiting for your highly anticipated single drop.
The world felt like a blur around you as you posted your apology to your fans, emailed back your angry professors and tried to get ready for your 8:45 am lecture....
You were trying to come up with a good excuse for being late and missing your online exam that you had 24 hours to submit.
You had never missed a deadline before.....you're a straight A student!
You had gotten dressed and were pulling on your backpack when you saw the black assault rifle and bullets laying on the desk by your room door....
You don't own a rifle - and guns certainly aren't allowed on campus!
Clearly you're just dreaming!
No wonder the world around you looks so blurry!
Thank god!
You aren't late on your deadlines at all!
You're clearly just taking an afternoon nap.
You knew you had your phone alarm set for 10 pm, 10:30 pm, 11 pm, 11:30 pm and even 11:50 pm - so you weren't worried about oversleeping.
This dream was actually a welcome restful retreat....
You threw your back pack on the ground, sat down at the desk and spent a long time inspecting the heavy black gun and loading the bullets.
It felt so realistic.....
You decided to try it out on your school bully.
That asshole in the room down the hall from you who got you permanently banned from the weight room!
You gave him a band when you moved into your dorm- same as everyone else on your hall.
It was just a friendly gift.
