Working on the second gig can get a bit slow, when that happens I get to do some remote overtime on the government job where I make the daily bread as a government bureaucrat. In essence, one can say that I’m working two jobs simultaneously.

Well, on this day, I was a bit fatigued while I was doing both gigs at the same time, that the body requires what we call a power nap. While that was happening, I started to see an image that looked like a classroom similar to the one that was in one of the schools that I attended when I was living in Great Britain.

I saw some familiar faces but one of them stood out, it was a dude, his name was Stephen. I considered him a friend way back yesteryear. But, after reflecting, I found that he was the type that will look you in your eye, and stab you in the back, or do moves to bring trouble your way. He was not much of a friend.

We were in the school lab, the science teacher gave us some medication. When I looked at the tablet containers, I saw that the lid was broken, maybe sabotaged.  I didn’t want to take the medication, I protested but was ignored by the teacher.

So, me and Stephen that friend of mine decided to throw away the medicine. When we did that Stephen started to act weird. He pulled himself up on a bar that resembled a pull up bar and pissed, spraying his piss all over the room.

The teacher came from the other class room and took Stephen to another room and locked him in there. There was a slot in the door and some medication was passed to Stephen through the slot.

When I looked at my pants, I could see that some of the piss that Stephen sprayed hit my pants leg. I didn’t want to go to the classroom with wet pants. My classmates will think that I pissed myself.

There was a wash station in the science room, I went there to clean the piss off my pants. But when I turned on the tap faucet and held my hands out for the water. The water came down from a shower head that was above me. Now I’m all wet and can’t possibly go to class.

Then Stephen busted into the science room; he suggested that we should jump down from the floor where we were to the playground. He opened the window, I could see that it was a long way down to the ground. I didn’t want to go out the window and make the jump.

Without saying a word, Stephen climbed out the window, and went on the floor’s ledged, stripped naked and jumped off the building’s ledge. He plummeted down into the pond that was located on the ground below that building.

The teacher and the rest of the classmates rushed into the science room and we were all looking at Stephen free falling before hitting the pond below. We wondered if Stephen is going to survive the fall into the pond, after all he is the best swimmer in the school.

When we looked down and saw Stephen hit the water, his head bobbed up to the surface, so we knew that he survived the plunge into the pond. But as Stephen’s head bobbed to the surface, he went back down below the pond’s water’s surface just as he gulped the air when his head bobbed up breaking the water’s surface when he plunged into the pond.

Since the pond’s water was clear, we could see that Stephen’s left arm was trapped in the debris in the pond and it dragged him back below the pond water’s surface.

But, luckily for Stephen, people passing by saw what was happening and they were making attempts to get Stephen out of the pond’s water, otherwise, Stephen did not have that much time before he drowned.
