Maria and I are watching a movie.
Suddenly, we are the movie.
I'm sitting with my legs propped up.
Some guy I don't know comes up to me.
He rubs my leg and calls me Alisha.
I say, "That's not my name."
I push him away.
He finds me again.
I keep running away.

Maria and I are outside now.
There are a lot of people.
We're on a platform and the guy finds me again.
He grabs me and starts to drag me away.
I try to fight but I can't get away.
I see a group of boys.
I look at them but I can't scream.
I can hear Maria screaming.
One of them runs toward us.
I think he's going to help.
But he's in on it, too.
Somehow, I get away.

We run to the woods.
There are a bunch of girls.
They are against us but ignore us completely.
One of them has a metal rod.
She's heating the end of it with a lighter.
She's burning the other girls with it.
They let her.
She touches her fingers to the burning end.
They glow in the same way.
She begins to burn the girls with her fingers.
She comes up to me and Maria.
Her fingers are dulling.
I say, "Don't touch me."
She says, "I'm going to burn you."
She touches my arm.
All I say is, "I'm going to push you down this hill."
I push her forehead and she rolls down the hill.
She lands, unmoving, in the ditch.

Maria and I are watching television again.
I say, "Do you want to watch another movie?"
She replies, "Yeah. Rocky Horror Picture Show."
A dream I had.
