I had a dream this morning I was a bounty hunter in a futuristic city – chasing a city employee on a motorcycle attached to a sort of “hover ski” through neon lit streets.<\/p>\n
My partner and I were in a car and while we were faster, we were less maneuverable than the woman on the motorcycle\/hover ski. She zoomed between the cars on the busy road, hovering a few feet off the ground. So, we took a side street, raced ahead, and cut her off.<\/p>\n
With the way blocked, we got out of the car – preparing to confront and capture the woman, but not too worried about the danger. She was an older woman and her solid frame didn’t seem spry or threatening. She surprised us by pulling out an energy weapon and shooting me in the neck – leaving me unharmed, but paralyzed. I could breathe and move my eyes, but the rest of me was immobile.<\/p>\n
My partner took cover. \u00a0I guessed that the woman didn’t want me dead – otherwise, she would have been carrying more lethal weapons and just flat out killed me when she had the chance. So, I pretended the blast was making me hyperventilate. I began breathing rapidly and gasping for air, pretending to be in serious distress.<\/p>\n
Our quarry sighed, then pulled out a huge bowie knife and approached me. My eyes went wide with fear that I’d overplayed it and I was going to be gutted, but she instead pressed the flat of the blade against the side of my nose and put some pressure behind it.<\/p>\n
“Keep your temples relaxed or the pressure will blow the top of your head off,” she said<\/p>\n
I tried to slow my breathing as the pressure in my head skyrocketed. Just when I thought my head would really explode from the weird pressure point, it suddenly \u00a0went away and I was able to move again. \u00a0 She removed the knife and smoothly sheathed it as I slumped forward. \u00a0I turned and caught my partner’s eye and gave a slight nob. We would give her a moment to explain herself before we tried anything else.<\/p>\n
I was about to start questioning her when I woke up. \u00a0It would be interesting to see if this is in the same “universe” as the quantum entangled bullets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
