a dream i had

i cock my semi-automatic weapon and nodded at my partner.

the elevator doors open slowly and we take aim.

we creep around the corridors of what seems to be a huge business building.

a man with dreads charges towards us and i do the liberty of stinging him with six pieces of hot led. 

"tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat" was the sound.

i remember thinking, "someone probably heard that. good."

we crept through the rest of the building searching for something and destroying any person that got within  shooting distance.

i was the primary with a MP40 and my partner with a shotgun.

on a certain level of this building, everything was painted black and the ceiling sprinklers were on. a group of individuals, whom, i'm sure, were comrades, were tied and bound to chairs. we freed them and armed them. 

suddenly, an explosion took off half of the wall facing the outside. everyone, except me, panicked. i picked up my gun and fired at whatever i thought would be behind the wall. 

and nothing was there. 

everyone began to huddle, begging for a plan. it looked like cowering to me. 

one comrade, who looked oddly like Janelle Monae (black and white tux and everything) approached me and showed me a piece of paper.

"these are the only ones left," pointing to names on the paper. most were crossed off. "i hear that these two, here, always work together. i was wondering if we could go get them together."

"Sure. that should be fine. if we make it out of here."

she smiled, realized she was smiling, stopped smiling, nodded and walked off talking to herself. planning seemingly. 

shots were fired.

we were being ambushed. 

i ran to the other side of the building where the corridor was. two gunmen were trying to keep us cornered. i fired back pushed them back into the elevator.

turning around, i saw that everyone else was following suit. 

[this is where the dream ends but..]

i gathered my brethren in arms and told them my plan:

"we have enough rope to reach a few floors below us. if we stay here they'll be shooting fish in a barrel and they're probably waiting for us on the other side of those elevator doors. so here we split up. half of us are going down that side of the building. a quarter of us down the other side. the rest through the elevator. we won't all make it and i plan to see some of you in the next life. my goal today isn't to make it out of this building alive but to get you out alive. i suggest you all keep at least one person with you at all times. and die with your finger on the trigger."
