So I was at some sort of camp thing. And it was halloween. And I think I was working or something there, whenI saw some little kid just drop all of his candy.
So I ran out as quick as I possibly could, and tried to help him shove as much candy back into his bag as I could- cuz a whole bunch of other little buttheads were trying to steal his candy. And I felt bad for him, and thought- no, this is the kind of situation that... You remember. Traumatizes you in a way. That is a BIG deal to a little kid.
So anyways, I got most of the candy back in his bag, and the fact that I was older and hat I was there actually made all the other kids back off quite a bit.
So the little kid runs off and I hope that hes ok and will have a fum rest of the night.
And so Im walking walking walking, and a gypsy woman walks up to me. And she gives me a bracelet. And is trying to kinda sorta give me other stuff/forcibly sell me other stuff. And so I try to get away. And she just smiles at me and nods to where that little kid just was, and walks away herself.
And so I have this bracelet that I just assume is a copper knockoff or false gold or tin or something like that. But its thick and heavy, and has these large snowglove trinkets attached to it.
So I go back, and Im in class now and I bend break apart the bracelet a bit- and look at it and see- that holy shit- thats real gold.
And my friends- which I have for some reason there- are looking at me like wowwww. And so tjere are a whole bunch of gold strands that make up this bracelet so I actually hand out a few of them to my friends as well. And then right after class I go to the bank or like some guy who buys shit like that and he tells me that he will pay 5k a strand of gold, and he will pay 30k plus for each snowglobe.
And Im like... Hmm well let me think about it. And leave. And so I tell my friends this and they all go and get their 5k and spend it on cakes and cookies and shit for some reason.
But I go home and tell my parents this and my dads happy for me but my mom turns into a wicked witch about it saying I didnt deserve it and that I needed to hand the money over asap so she could have it. And so I get so enraged that I push her and she falls down a hill.
At this point my dad looks at me and is like- ok, we need to get the hell out of here before your mom wakes up because now I fear for your safety. And so we run, but half way to our destination I decide to turn back because... I feel bad. I shouldnt have pushed her, and I need to face up to it. Deserve to face up to it.
So anyways, I go home, and my moms there and shes pissed. She says that the life I was living before was now over. That from now on I could sleep in the shed with the horses, and eat what they eat because I wasnt good enough to eat with her...
And my sister? Which I happened to have.
So it kind of turns into a cinderella situation. I do all the cooking and cleaning and my mom finds new ways to make my life a living hell while my sister sits on her ass in the lap of luxury.
And I keep waiting and waiting for my mom to forgive me and for things to go back to the way they were but it never happens. And Im withering away to nothing and Im so dirty and gross and miserable that one day even my sister takes pity on me and tells me that I HAVE to get out of there, and that she would help me.
So one day, while my mom is busy with some elaborate party I sneak out the back unnoticed. I still have my bracelet, which I had hidden outside the house before I came back home and had told my mom my dad had. So I go and I get chased by my mom for a while and shes saying nice things about how everything will change if I just come hom- but I dont believe her. And so, at that point the dream ends- with me leaving and heading off alone with my bracelet of gold.
Swear to god, these dreams, I remember with a lot of clarity. This amount of clarity.
