It was a post-apocalyptic world. I was in the passenger seat of a car. My mom and my two year old son were in the back, and the guy driving was at first my husband. We were going along a route that I had taken before. We cam to a fork, and I told my husband to go right. When we drove forward, a door opened, revealing three cloaked and masked figures with huge guns pointed at us. I told the guy driving, who was now my dad, to back up, but one of the figures shot right into the drivers side. The car started reversing, but lost speed immediately as the injured driver slumped over and his foot fell off the peddle. The man who shot us was walking towards us, smiling.
