last night was not so good

i was walking through the desert with my [male] jewish friend, apparently on the run from nazis. suddenly, though i couldn't see them, i knew they were closing in, so we started to run (hard to do when you're sinking in sand dunes, btw). there were huge gusts of wind (probably from helicopters) so we could hardly see and of course, with nowhere to go anyway, the nazis captured us. they brought us to some army outpost where they were holding about 20-30 other people (though i think this friend of mine was the only actual jew). as they lined all of us up, i debated telling my friend that his yarmulke had blown off, but decided that if he hadn't noticed i shouldn't mention it. he didn't need one more thing to worry about.
the nazis then went down the line branding our right forearms with stars of david. they snatched my friend's prayer shawl, then shoved us all into a gym. they then put us through a bunch of physical competitions, and those having the lowest score at the end would be the ones executed that day. of course with one task left i had one of the lowest scores, along with a friend of mine from church, and a friend from high school. the final task was a car race around a track.
i was in the process of deciding whether or not to intentionally fatally crash myself when i woke up.

Maybe his name won't be Craig. Maybe it's like when you're at my house in your dreams but it isn't actually my house.

what can i say? i profess to be jewish. that means fleeing is ingrained in me. as tevye said, “Our forefathers have been forced out of many, many places at a moment’s notice. Maybe that’s why we always wear our hats.”
