Nightmare

We were about 5 friends, all girls, in a huge tan building filled with people.
The girls were drinking and laughing talking about silly stuff, the usual girl stuff when all of a sudden they heard screams in the distance.

The building was surrounded by terrorists.
All the people in the building were looking for hiding places.
The girls ran to a corner hallway and tried to escape out the back exit but that was surrounded too. There were many terrorists.
Children were crying, people pushing and shoving each other trying to get into safety but there was no safety, the building was not constructed to fend off terrorists, it had many open pathways and glass sliding doors.
It seemed no matter where people tried to hide they could see the terrorists and the terrorists could see them.
One of the girls started running, she managed to get in to a dark hidden corner but before she could take a safe breath she heard machine guns and bullets came flying towards her. She felt the bullets bite as her flesh, one after the other, the pain immense but quickly passing.
Then she said, "that's when I died". As if narrating her story.

*I woke up and all I could do is feel the endless bullets enter my body, over and over again like ghostly bullets in a memory not a dream.*
