I’m in some apartment that I know I rent. Billy is there with me. just relaxing. The dogs are someplace else. Not with us. Suddenly in walks a group of what look like 20 something men and women carrying food and things. They leave the front door open and walk to the kitchen. I think they’re new rhe building and mistook my front hallway as a pass through to the other side of the building. I get up and confront them. Explaining that I own this place, though I think to myself that I really rent it. But decide the nuance isn’t worth explaining. It’s still my place. They are silent. I find this strange and feel they’re up to something. Finally one of them speaks. It turns out he is a villain from the marvel universe and has traveled back in time to kill me. I remember having looked in a mirror earlier before he arrived and seen my reflection as captain america. He tells me he will kill me now so I don’t kill him in the future. He has one of his mute possee members stick a needle in my right leg above the knee cap. Then the talking guy puts his hand on it and is about to push the syringe. I realize I’m will die and say calmly, “well, bye Billy”. The guy hesitates and looks at me. I say, “there may be another way. What if we become friends now. Then I won’t want to kill you in the future because I’ll have feelings for you.” To my surprise he says that could work and pulls out the needle. He walks away. I see the mute ones are preparing chicken for lunch. But the food all looks like it comes from another planet. Chicken shaped but putty colored and as if it were manufactured. They lay out a spread of chicken, bread and cheeses. One of them scolds me visually, no words, when I disrupt the orderly arrangement of the food. Billy comes back in the room from taking a phone call. The other guy, my future nemesis, returns as well. Billy starts saying that he paid off a debt. I think this may not be the best time for that story given I had to work on making a new friend of the guy who was about to kill me a moment ago. I feel torn but the nemesis guy leans in and smile, like he’s going to be interested in Billy’s story. I sense he wants to give the friendship thing a chance.
