Alone. in the dark.

Do You Remember The Nightmare?

When I get to the counselors office today, he is standing there already waiting for me.

"Is running late going to be a daily thing for you Alex?" He says

"Sorry, I laugh. Guess I woke up a little late."

"I like your choice of outfit today Mr. Alex." He looks at my outfit and chuckles.
I'm wearing faded sweatpants that used to be dark gray and are now a more white-light gray and a baggy sweatshirt that makes me look like I walked in from a gang.

I smile and say thanks and he goes on to talk about what we will discuss today. He wants to discuss my dreams in order.

"That is, if you remember all of them?.."
I didn't even realize he was talking, I was too busy thinking about them, I look up. "What?" I say.

"Do you recall dreams from when they first started?"
"Yes, I do in fact, I wrote some down."

I stare down at the notebook in my hands, "just start reading when you want."

"Fuck it." I exclaim as I close the notebook and look around, "I'll just state it from memory."

"I am standing in an empty lot, alone. A car is parked on the other side and someone is inside banging their head on the steering wheel repeatedly, as I get closer they slow down and suddenly stop. I try to look through the window but suddenly they are gone, fog covers every window of the car as the door creaks open and out steps a tall lean figure, he looks like he's waving or trying to say something.
"What?" I yell loudly. The figure just stares at me and then points upward. I look up and The door slams, when I look back the figure is standing with his hands on his face and screaming to "help him" as soon as I get a better look, I realize...who this person is.
This person standing in front of me was....
It was me..."

He just sits there scribbling stupid shit down on that stupid clipboard of his. I stand up quick "I'M DONE, I CAN'T DO THIS. And I walk out.
