Sad Pizza Parlor, 911 Call and Wild Animal Attack
A drawing of a javelina, crocodile, wild boar, and other various wild animals baring their teeth at me. (Drawing is from my 1st person perspective.) I am standing on a black granite rock trying to hang up an accidental 911 call on my cell phone with my left hand. With my right, I am swinging a shapeless red satchel filled with daily paraphernalia towards the animals. A small otter, also with bared teeth, is at the bottom right.
My wife Liz and I are in a sad pizza parlor that stretches out quite a ways. It’s one long, big hallway, and the “rooms” are designated by the colors of paint on the walls. There are ski-ball machines and other video game machines around, but it is devoid of people, and the lights are all half out. Liz wants to wait in line for something, but then doesn’t like something that is going on in the line, and we leave. (I never see a line, the place looks empty to me.)
On our way out, I reach for my phone (I forget why). I hold it next to me, and then realize that I’ve accidentally tapped the shortcut to call 911 without unlocking the phone. I try to hang up, but I can’t. Now the 911 operator is on the phone, and I can hear her talking to her colleagues in the background. I try to explain that I’ve dialed by accident and I want to end the call. The operator goes back and forth between talking to me and talking with her colleagues. At one point, she says to me that they are sending someone to my location with a warrant because I said the word “baby”. It seems they think that I’ve called 911 because I’ve abducted a baby or put a baby in danger. I am very flustered and frustrated - their assumed story is not at all what is happening. I try to tell them that I have no children, I don’t have a baby with me, there is no baby, I call my wife “baby” and maybe they heard me saying that. However, I have a hard time getting the words out, and I am pretty that anything I say won’t matter, they will say I’m guilty regardless. I still can’t hang up the damn phone - I try to tap the hangup button, but the touchscreen is unresponsive and the line is still open.
I see an alligator (crocodile?) - it approaches me with the intent of attacking me, but then it is attacked by another alligator/crocodile. There are several wild animals approaching me, and I stand on a big rock to get away from them - there is a boar, a javelina, and the alligator/crocodile is back. It lunges to bite me and I kick it in the snout. I swing my very large purse (that I have just now) at the boar. There are people surrounding the rock, watching me fight off the animals. A man says “Watch out for that otter”, and I look down to my right, and see a little otter at the base of the rock. I think it has sharp teeth and it is growling at me, but I’m not sure. I think I take a swing at it with my giant purse as I am waking up.
