Ruby Tuesday is cover for the black market???

So it was a very slow Monday afternoon, as most of them are. I was scheduled to be the 12 o'clock expo. Failing to have anything else to do I simply stood in front of the kitchen window staring at an empty expo screen. Finally, I decided to join the rest of the employees in sitting around one of the many vacant bar tables; when much to every ones excitement a guest walked through the double door entrance! He was a freakishly large man, much like a football player. He bore a striking resemblance to Randy Moss of the New England Patriots! He seated himself at the bar as Sally emerged from the kitchen. The bartender had excused herself to go outside just prior to the man entering the building. Noticing the man seating himself at the bar and knowing the bartender was away, Sally graciously went and greeted the man handing him a menu and taking his drink order. With Sally in sight I decided to act like I was attempting to do my job, though there was nothing to do. A few more guests came in and before we knew it we were actually busy! Sally Still continued to stand at the bar and chat as she often does. We successfully made it threw our lunch rush! I still had to be their for a while due to the new 2 hour rule, so i began to clean my area so that when my 2 hours were up all I had to do was clock out. I finished my cleaning and found myself, yet again starring at an empty screen when Sally grabbed me by the arm and whisked me outside by way of the Tue Go door! Their was a short awkward silence as we stared at each other. I, wondering and waiting for an explanation as to why I was so abruptly rushed away from my station; and Sally it seemed was simply trying to find the words. Finally in a harsh tone and still gripping tightly to my arm, she speaks, "That man in there at the bar. Your going with him!". Bewildered at what she has told me, I take a second before I respond. "NO! I'm not!". She grips my arm tighter so as to stop me from running away, though I did not even attempt. "You will do it because I told you to!" Sally exclaimed. That was true; she could tell me to do anything and I would do it without question or argument. But could I do this? I didn't even know why I was being sent with this man. The strange man exits the Restaurant and walks toward Sally and I. While still holding on to me Sally turns to the man as he hands her a huge wad of cash. The man takes me by the other arm and they escort me to his vehicle and out me in. The man then gets in the driver seat, I watch Sally as we drive away. I stare at her with fear, sadness and hurt that she could do this to me. She watches us drive away as she lights a cigarette and awnserd her cell phone. Once the restaurant is out of sight the man begins to explain to me that Sally is the biggest provider of human trafficing in America, and that she uses Ruby Tuesday as her cover. When she has a bid on one of her employees she does just as she did to me, and simply tells everyone that she fired them for one reason or another.I can not believe what I am hearing! Could it really be true? This woman that I have idolized for so many years..... but she did this to me! It is true. The loyalty I felt has been shattered! She said to go with him, but I don't have to stay, nor will I.......... These are the thought coursing through my brain as we pull up to his house. It is a very large and strange house. He tells me I am free to look around so I begin to explore. I find the bathroom and get an erie feeling about whats behind the curtain. I very nervously grip the curtain, I take a deep breath and forcefully rip it open..............................

10/18/08

The Lexington store was extremely short staffed, as usual. So I agree to go and work there and bring two other cooks with me, Dan and Brayton. We are all working away, through the lunch rush, and it finally dies down. While all standing in the prep area this blue an white circle appears in the air. It's a portal to another dimension. Dan gets close to it so I tell him " You might not want to do that. I've seen this type of thing in horror movies. Its dangerous, I can feel the evil coming from it." So he runs to the back door and comes right back. " It's ok, I'll kill anything that comes out!" He yells as he starts a chainsaw. "This is going to end badly" I say very somberly. When suddenly and evil, unseen force takes control of the chainsaw. It cuts off Braytons arm at the shoulder. Dan is trying to stop it with all he can and it cuts off his fingers. With us all yelling, I wake up.

10/17/08

I'm getting dressed for work when my phone rings. I answer it, and on the other end of the line is my boss Sally. She inquires about what I am doing, so I tell her, "getting ready for work. What can I do for you?" She precedes to tell me that she has run out of deodorant and would like me to bring her mine. So I ask, " Why don't you just go get some?". "I'm not leaving the house until I have some on." Understanding that, as smelling is one of my biggest fears, I agree to go to the store for her and get her some before I go to work. "No." She says, " I want you to bring me yours." " I'm not sharing my deodorant with you Sally." I exclaimed. "Yes you will." and hangs up the phone. So I went to the store and picked out the same type of deodorant I use and drive to her house. When I arrive I am greeted by her husband who tells me she is not at home."Well where is she? She said she wouldn't leave the house without it." "She went to get her hair done" he tells me. So, I drive to the hairdresser. I walk in and the place is very dim-lit. I walk around looking for her and find Josh, another cook who works with me, asleep across two of the hair cutting chairs. So I ask him, "Josh, wheres Sally?" Still half asleep he tells me that shes in the back taking a nap. So I walk to the back and up a flight of stairs where I meet up with Amy, a server in another store. She tells me what room Sally is sleeping in. So I walk in the room and there she is sound a sleep. Not wanting to wake her I set down the deodorant and leave. So what do you think? Is it a true story or a dream?

The night of 10/12/08

I was at work standing on line prepping before the rush. Josh and Neil were in the prep area, they started to fool around, pushing each other. Josh began to tackle Neil, pushing him toward me. They collided with me. We all fell to the floor. As we did I hit my head. Although unconscious, I was well aware of what was going on around me. The restaurant began to get busy, so rather than call the paramedics, they just worked around me. Being aware, I tried to make myself come to. Sally than showed up. She brought us food from another store. She noticed me lying on the floor and asked what was going on. She knelt by me and as on her command to wake, slowly I began to. She began to stroke my hair and sing a song to me, although I cant recall the song I know it was beautiful. I was having trouble remembering things, and was very confused so Sally decided to take me to the doctors. We drove for ever and ended up at a doctors office that was in the middle of no where. We were met by Danni, my sister Jill, and my parents. Sitting on the table, the doctor began to examine me. He looked at my teeth, than began removing them. He reviled another layer of teeth. Although I was still very confused the doctor sent me on my way. Apparently there was a cabin not to far from the office where we all decided to meet afterwards. We all left, I decided to drive my car with my sister ridding with me. We were the last car in our little caravan, and while stopped at a stop sign my sister and I witnessed a group of 9yr old boys teasing an older lady, about late 40s. They were teasing her about her dog, a chewuawa, it was wearing a pink sweater, and was severely over weight. She was freaking out yelling at them saying he was not fat. "I'm sick of this!" she yelled as she picked up her dog and headed toward the pond by the side of the road. fearing she was about to drowned herself and her dog I began to get out of the car. She jumped in than immediately popped out. She walked out of the pond and looked at me, " That's better. We can go home now, it was so hot." and she walked away. The group had left us behind. Still being very confused my sister brought me to another doctor. This time the doctor was a drug rehabilitateor. The doctor I was supposed to see was busy. She was on the phone with another patient; the lady from the pond. When i went back to the lobby my sister was no where to be found. I asked the lady at the desk where she had gone. " She went on without you " she said. So having no idea how to get to the cabin, I asked the lady if she new how to get there. She simply replied, "Turn around". I turned, and in front of me was a very large hill with a log cabin at the top. It was snowing, although I was not cold. I began to walk up the hill when I saw Sally's husband driving a truck of firewood up to the cabin. I started to walk when I noticed that I was back at the very bottom of the hill, at the gates to the cabins driveway. I began trying to lock the gates, as well as secure them into the ground. I was aware of the danger that was about to be. There were men, three of them, with a dog and shotguns. I started to run up the hill and hide behind a tree that had fallen as the men broke in. The men began to search the grounds. They came right by me, the dog sniffed me but for some reason didn't make a sound to alert them of my presence. They decided to take a break and fell asleep. Slowly and cautiously I began to make my way up the hill towards the cabin when suddenly the silence of the cold mountain was broken by the ring of my cell phone. Who says you cant go home echoed through the trees as I opened my eyes

Twice in a row, with a different ending

I had the same dream 2 nights in a row, only the ending changed.

I was working, prepping something on line when a server, Amanda, came running back into the kitchen yelling, " Oh my God, shes choking!". " who", I asked. "Sally!". Terrified I went running out to the dinning room where Linda was attempting to give Sally the Heimlich. It didn't seem to be working as Linda was not strong enough. I took over but Sally passed out from the lack of oxygen. I lay her on the floor, with tears in my eyes and anger in my heart, I exclaimed "Your not going to die on me!" The salad bar attendant, Will, was on the phone with 911. I grabbed the phone from him and frantically asked what I could do to save her life. I inquired about taking an empty pen cartridge and stabbing it into her lungs, she said I could. Before I let her finish I grabbed the viper (a bag opener), and cut open her shirt. The 911 operator stopped me as I was about to plunge the cartridge within her. " The risk is too great. It must be precise. The slightest misminnover and you'll kill her." " What if I cut open her soft pallet and put the cartridge in?". She agreed that would work. Getting the pairing knife from the bar, I slit open her palit, just big enough for the pen to enter. She that began to breath on her own. With one hand holding the pen, the other holding her hand, I let a tear fall and awoke.

The story the next night changes at the point when I insert the pen. She doesn't began to breath on her own. I let go and realize she is gone. There is nothing more I can do, I am beginning to wake up. I want to stay, to save her, but I loose the battle. I am now awake.

A quick reviewof the terrifing, the original, the nightmares

Since I can remember, I have had 3 recurring nightmares.

The first is where I'm at home, when I used to live in New York. I'm lying in bed and awoken, just as the sun is coming up, but a faint pounding noise. Its not loud but the ground shakes every time it happens. Just like it did in the movie Jurassic Park. I meagerly walk out of my room, down the hallway into the dinning room. Where we had a big picture window. I'm starring out the window when a GIANT T-REX lowers his head and stares at me through the window. And I awaken.

The second, a little more frightening; again begins with me at home, in New York. I wake up just as the sun is coming up to find I am the only one home. I look out the picture window and see that there are several burrows in the ground. And I know that Wolves live in them. Suddenly I am aware that my family has been killed by these wolves, and that there are wolves in the house. I run to my parents bedroom to seek refuge when suddenly the wolves are at the door. They lunge at it, trying to break it down; the door, made up of a thin wood begins to splinter. With one last leap at the door, I'm awake, and afraid.

The third and final recurring nightmare, to which I have lost too many nights sleep over, begins in the woods. I don't know where I am, or why I'm there, but I'm with a friend. We stumble upon a very large house.It seems to be very old, maybe abandoned. nothing to show any sign of occupancy. The windows are fake, they appear to be real from the outside, but when close to them you see that they are just carved into the wood. Painted black. The carving on the hand rail is immaculate. But there's something wrong with the front door, I cant put my finger on it, It doesn't have a door handle. My friend decides to go in while I wait out side. I tell her not to but she just seems to have disappeared. After a few moments of her not returning, I decide to go in after her. I don't walk up to the door, all I have to do is think about going in and getting her and poof, I'm in. I stand in a room that is not well lit. It has dark red walls with a green vine border. In the middle of the room is a small round table with several books piled on it. To my left is a staircase, and to my right is a long table that followes along the wall. It is cluttered with various items, such as a snow globe with a Nazi solder in it. The face of the solider though is only a mirror, so when you look at it, your face is implanted on the Nazi. After I look at the snow globe, I replace it just as it had been. To the front of this room, is a bedroom. I walk in the room and am suddenly aware that someone is hunting me. There are two doors in the room. One straight ahead and another to the left. I always go through the one straight ahead, as for the one to the left is locked ( and I learned my lesson about going up the stairs, TERRIFYING!). From there the dream always changes. Upon entering the dream I am well aware that I'm dreaming, I've had it soo many times, But have always been unable to stop it, or wake my self up. That is until the last time I had it. As usual, I end up in the bedroom. But this time I decide that, " I am sick and tired of loosing sleep over this stupid dream!" And that I'm not going to take it anymore. So I kick down the locked door. When I walked through, I was on a balcony overlooking another room, but it was to dark to see. The carpet was a dark red and the wood was a dark type, mahogany maybe. When to my left bellowed a voice "HEY!" The man who had been haunting me all these years, finally, I was face to face with him. He was older, early 50's maybe. He wore a white undershirt, tan pants, black dress shoes, and suspenders. His hair was slightly balding, white, and he had some type of scaring on his face. Not quite like a burn, but like really bad acne scaring. My first instinct was to run. But I didn't. He charged toward me like an angry bull, and ran straight back at him. As we were about to collide, I ducked and clotheslined his legs. He flipped in the air and as he was just about to hit the ground, I woke up. Although its been 5 years since I've had that nightmare, I fear every night before I go to sleep that he will return, seek his revenge. After all, where would the world be without sequels.

My Dreams

I began this Blog only to be able to post comments on my friends blogs, but they are insistent that I blog something. Since all I do is work and sleep that doesn't leave much to write about. That is unless you would be interested in hearing how many Guacamole appetizers I made in one shift. So, I decided to write about my dreams. I LOVE to sleep; mainly because my dreams are ssooooooo curious and interesting sometimes. Although it seems I've been dreaming about work allot lately. So please enjoy them as I have, with the exception of the nightmares.
