The three guys that were standing half way out of their cars; two of them holding tazors and one holding a black gun. I didn 't know what I did to get pulled over.

The cop with blonde hair and blue eyes dragged me out of the car and walked me inside. I stared at my so called ‘friends’ as I walked by them. The cop checked me in by going through paperwork and the fingerprinting. When they fingerprinted me it was gross feeling and slimy.

There was a window the size of a hand on the cell door, two benches with thin padding on it on each side of the cell, and a gray shiny toilet. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. I asked the man how they knew where to find me and he said your parents called and said you made it home, so we rushed to get you. He also added that it was stupid of me to run, because I was in trouble already. I also asked the policeman why I got pulled over in the first place, he answered, “Because you were swerving all over the road and we didn’t know what was going on so we

In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…

    If you do a quick search on Google for Dreams, you will get over 7 million results including the definition of dreams which is “successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur usually involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep” (“Dream” Wikipedia.
