Michelle: Bad Apples, Bad Tree

It was storming heavily and I was on a school trip. We were riding in a big travel bus (like what we took to Orlando for the science olympiad trip). We were parked at the Hobby Lobby in my hometown because the rain had gotten so heavy and the roads were getting flooded. I had to pee REALLY bad and knew I couldn't hold it so, although we had been told to stay in our seats, I tried to run to the bathroom on the bus. I saw the bus driver and a teacher arguing in front of the bathroom, so I darted outside and ran for the Krogers across the street. The rain was really bad and the water on the street was up to my shins. As I was trying to cross, a group of police officers stopped me and told me to go back. "What, so I'm not allowed to pee!?" I said, super sassy One police officer sighed and told me to hurry. I ran inside and found the bathroom. It was very very cramped and small (it was like walking through the aisle of an airplane, with stalls on each side where seats would normally be). All of the stalls were facing forward. I grabbed the nearest stall to me and opened the door. Because of the way the stalls were oriented, opening the door blocked my entrance to the stall. As soon as I pulled the door open, I heard people inside gasp. I couldn't see who was there (since the door blocked my view), but I looked down and saw the shoes of a child, who was sitting on the toilet, and a backpack right next to the stall. I was mortified. I yelled "I'm so sorry!" then ran for the stall at the back of the bathroom. I quickly closed and locked my door and tried to force myself to pee quickly.


I heard the stall door open (that one the kid was in), and heard the voices of several children. I pulled my feet up, so they couldn't see where I was, but then I heard a little boy say "She's in this one!" Suddenly three little faces appeared peeking over my stall- two boys and a little girl. They looked about 8-10 years old. They started to laugh at me. One little boy said to the girl, "See! I told you she was fat and goofy looking!" <I know this is a dream, but that still hurts my feelings! :( > They continue to watch me on the toilet, roaring with laughter. I'm wearing a dress, so my panties are down at my ankles. "you stop this RIGHT now! This is very rude and inappropriate!" I shriek at them. One of the boys busted down my door and the kids ran into my stall and grabbed my purse and my backpack. The other boy grabbed at my underwear, so I slapped at his hands. The little girl grabbed my purse and started to chew on the strap. I looked at her with disgust and said, "that was on the filthy, disgusting floor and now that's all in your mouth!" She just shrugged and told me she didn't care, so I responded, "You're going to care when you get an infection!" The boys had left at this point so it was just the girl and me. I yanked my purse out of her mouth and told her this was extremely rude. I went on a rant, saying "You're lucky you all are so young. If your brothers were just a few years older I'd have their asses sent to jail!" She just laughed in my face then ran off.


I finished my business, gathered my things, and ran out of the bathroom. When I walked out of the bathroom it looked like I was in an RV. The area outside of the bathroom had a little kitchenette area with a sink and cabinets and a small seating area. I leaned on a cabinet in the kitchen area and inspected my purse to make sure those awful kids didn't steal anything. I hear the little girls voice and look up to see her walking towards me, dragging two adults with her (I assumed they were her parents). They all look at me and start laughing. One of the adults grabs a hypodermic needle full of red liquid from the sink and stabs it into my hip, injecting me with the liquid. I shriek at them to tell me what it was, but they just laugh and say they hope no one needed that. I feel the injection site pulse with pain and I start to feel groggy. I shamble out of the Krogers, feeling my knees weaken with each step. I was worried that the bus had left without me, so I attempt to run. I immediately fall face down into a puddle. I hear the police officers run toward me, so I lift my head and yell for help. Then I woke up!
