man.. i had such a sad dream. i was in a chem class with my old dubai friends. the teacher's assistant was this really nice guy. he was really lonely and had this look of a hurt soul on his face all the time. he lost his wife and kids to terrorists that didn't kill him but-

they fed them to him. when he got home to his parents he found that they both committed suicide.

after school that day, my old friends and i were going to my (fictional) grandparents' house and i brought him along. they really liked him and he genuinely seemed happy. -

now my body switched into this fbi agent's that was investigating this mafia/terrorist organization. there was a new agent and he was my partner. he seemed really vibrant and i liked him instantly.

i switch back into my own body and we all go home and we're back at school-

every day. a bunch of days go by and now im (not in a body) watching over the teacher's assistant. he gets fired because they thought he was awkward. he's very poor. one day he's walking and he sees a sign for a job. he goes to the place and it's some mafia recruitment. -

at first he's just doing little delivery jobs but soon he starts raising in status and eventually he's at the top of the organization with a few others. they always treat him like shit though, but he always just smiles and takes it. he takes all the beatings they give him. -

i switch back into the fbi agent's body and im walking outside with my new partner. we're heading towards this place where i got a lead that something was going down. when we started getting close, he stopped me and just kept telling me "it's okay! you don't have to go!"

and at first i just stood there and another agent showed up behind us and we realized this new partner of mine was actually mafia and was stalling us. me and the other agent looked at each other and started running towards the building and then the ground started shaking.-

there were explosions all over the street getting more and more violent as we got closer. trees fell on the street and we just kept running and dodging cars.

im back in my own body as a kid and once again im at my grandparents' house with my friends and the teacher's assistant.-

as we were all leaving i noticed he had something in his bag--a big
bomb. i didn't say a word. once we all got in my friend's mom's car, i turned around to look for him but he was gone.

i switch back to a cinematic view of where the teacher's assistant was.-

he's in this room with this other mafia head and a guard. the mafia head is angry and talking to the teacher's assistant about some plan of theirs. the teacher's assistant just casually gets up, walks over to a table and picks up his gun. he's walking towards the door to leave-

and just turns around and puts a bullet in the mafia head's chest, then turns and shoots the guard in the head. he seems like he's made up his mind about something.

im back in the car again and we notice that the ground starts shaking violently. we drive to the closest safe-

spot we can find and just hug the walls till it calms down. we're outside a tall building with pillars and we're just sitting against the pillars in their shade. across from us is a much smaller building with a rooftop on which we can see whoever's on it. i see a man dressed-

as joker. i think that's odd.

im back in the fbi agent's body and we continue running. now we have a lot of ground squads with us on foot and in cars. a huge swat team also pulls up. we get to the street and see a bunch of kids sitting against pillars right across from where-

that huge thing was about to go down. suddenly, there's explosions all over. that joker starts shooting everyone that walks up on the roof of the building he's on and then fires down at all the agents and the swat teams. he even starts firing at the kids.

im back in my body-

and i see that the joker has people on his side as well coming out on the street. i tell that to the swat teams. the guy dressed as joker shoots and kills one of my friends and i get really angry so i dodge some bullets and manage to pick up a gun. i start shooting and realize-

it's much harder to shoot a gun than it seems. all the swats and the agents retreat behind their cars and the pillars we're behind. the shooting slows down. we're held up there for hours until we finally hear some cheering.

we go back to my grandparents' house and see-

on the news that the killer was caught. they showed his face and i knew it looked different from the glimpse i saw. the teacher's assistant knocked on our door and they let him in. that's when it hit me: he was the shooter. i didn't say anything until he slowly pulled a gun-

out of his pocket while he was turned around. by reflex, i socked him in the face and disarmed him. he kept laughing as i continued to beat the shit out of him. i still felt sad every time i hit him. eventually i dropped him outside the front door and was about to kill him-

and he said, laughing: "kill me."

i said "no. im gonna leave you hanging on by a thread for as long as i can."

i was about to leave him there when he whispered "i just didn't want to be alone again. i wanted to take you with me to where im going. where my family is!-

you're gonna love them." i asked him what the fuck he was talking about and he said "the world is a cruel place. i don't want people to keep living in a place where they can get hurt." while talking, he slowly lifted another gun out of his pocket.-

"i don't want you to live in a place where you can get hurt," he said as he brought mo closer for a hug.

he shot me through the brain with a single bullet that also went through his.
