I'm on a boat in the ocean. I jump off and swim away. I see dolphins in the water.
I come to an island cove. I see a black man in the cave. Two dogs jump off of the rocks into the water. The man swims to me to help me onto the shore. He is friendly and smiling. He tells me where I am, apparently a German-speaking island. He has his arms wrapped around me. He then takes out a ring with a venom-tipped shark tooth and tries to cut my leg with it. I wriggle free and run to the nearest town.
It's nighttime and people are out and about going to the shops and restaurants. I don't speak any German, but I find an American couple on vacation and ask them for help. They aren't interested in helping me. I see the man from the cove down the street - he's coming after me. I start running through the crowds and start suspecting that everyone is working with this man to get me.
A stranger nods his head toward a doorway - I don't know if I should trust him, but I go in anyway. There are young men in the shop - none of them looking very friendly. I'm taken to a back room and introduced to the owner - a young man wearing an Iowa t-shirt. He tells me he went to Iowa and I tell him about my time at Drake. I hug him because I know I can trust him and he tells me that he will keep me safe.
I wake up.
