I am sitting alone on a college campus concrete bench. There are a lot of busy students walking around. All of a sudden, I look up and I see some of my friends standing at the steps of a building about 100 to 150 feet to my left. Then I turned to look in front of me to see a good looking strange man walking directly to me at a rather fast pace. As he gets closer, I start to panic a bit. As he approaches me, he starts singing to me and grabs my hand. I lean back a bit as I was getting rather worried about the situation. He reaches down, and starts giving me a kiss on my lips. I'm really shaken. The second his lips moved away from mine, I screamed for HELP. I scream HELP a few times until sadly, my friend from the steps, pulled out a gun and shoots the man in front of me. The shot does ultimately kill the gorgeous half white, half black man. He had very thick and prominent eye brows and rather thick lips. He hair was cut into a tight crew cut. He was also a Professor at the college. After the police and paramedics and everyone allowed me to leave, I started slowly walking home on the sidewalk. I had gotten off the campus and passed a neighborhood, when I started hearing someone calling out my name loudly. I ignored it for a while, but they would not stop yelling my name. I stopped and turned around, and I saw a couple of my friends running up to me in a group. I was surprised. Once they had caught up to me, they told me that they had a surprise for me. I was thinking, oh no-what now. They separated so I could see who was in the back. As I laid eyes on the man, I was shocked and thought to myself, am I looking at a ghost? The man I was looking at, looked exactly like the man that was kissing me only a few hours ago. That man, in fact, had an identical twin brother. He then started talking to me, and was trying to make me feel better about the situation that had occurred. He proceeded to tell me that both him and his brother were single, and had their eyes on me since I stepped onto campus. The brother that died had just went about it the wrong way. We then started a very loving and amazing relationship. He also, was a professor at the college and sang better than his now deceased twin.

Sitting alone on a concrete bench highlights feelings of isolation or contemplation. It suggests a pause in your life where you may be reflecting on your current circumstances or relationships. The solidity of the concrete could indicate a need for stability amidst the busyness around you.
The students bustling around you represent the distractions, pressures, and expectations of society or your peers. This chaos may symbolize feelings of being overwhelmed or not fitting in, as you feel distanced from their energy and purpose.
The appearance of the handsome stranger approaching you rapidly introduces themes of attraction and anxiety.

Your friend shooting the man denotes a protective instinct, possibly reflecting underlying fears of vulnerability in relationships.
