I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT (ROGUE FIREMAN EDITION)

I am working at a volunteer firehouse in some large city. The people working there are all a bit larger than life, full of wisecracks and catchphrases so that it feels like I’ve actually joined a reality TV show (though there’s no evidence of cameras or anything).

I have various sessions where I learn different aspects of the job – which includes scuba diving. At one point I’m putting on a wetsuit, and there’s a pool on the roof for training and exercise purposes.

As a trainee I’m not expected to go out on calls yet. But that changes when some guy goes on a rampage. He’s a former volunteer fireman who was fired for what he feels are unjustified charges. Now he is getting revenge by setting cars on fire nearby, and by rewiring other cars to cause accidents and explode. Soon the cars are actively attacking people.

I’m just trying to stay out of their way, but one of the guys says I’ve just been promoted from trainee to full-on fireman. “All hands on deck, sport,” he says.

And then I woke up.

Put out the fire,
