Terrifying dream last night

This is the bullshit I've had to worry about for the past 30 years every night when I go to bed.

I had a nightmare that I was working or volunteering at some large medical facility or hospital. One of my old schoolmates - the same Enemies List inductee who threw a piece of wood at me in shop class and later knocked my tooth out on the school bus - showed up for some psychological test. I was assigned to escort him down to a special waiting room in the back.

When we got there, he started harassing me. In response, one of the other hospital staffers asked me to leave the hospital. I was fired.

A family member showed up and drove me home, and I had to explain the experience to them.

But the Evil Empire normalizes all the violence that happened to me in school - even if I still have nightmares about it 30 years later.

So when does the punishment phase finally begin?
