Crazy building

I’m on my way to a date with a woman. We’ve agreed that I meet her at her place. I’m carrying my mobile phone, right up to my face, in a really awkward manner. It’s supposed to be because it’s a cameraphone, but nothing shows on my display, and I’m aware that the woman can’t see me either.

I arrive at her place, or rather, the building she lives in. The complex is made up from two crescent-shaped buildings facing each other, almost making a full circle except for the two narrow passages between them that leads inside. The complex is all yellow, and the windows are completely black, they’re very tall and they appear as though they’re watching me.

At first I walk into the yard. I check at all the doors to find the doorbell to the woman’s apartment. When I find it, I turn around and walk outside again. I follow the curved wall outside and start looking through all windows. They’re all still perfectly opaque.

Through one window, though, I spot another woman. She’s laying on her bed, half naked, tossing herself from side to side and apparently being a bit aroused. I crawl through the window to her. She starts talking to me about how desperate she is, that she’s in pain because she’s longing for some company. While talking, she touches herself a lot, trying to act sexy, and she is very sexy, but I only feel sorry for her. She keeps complimenting my looks and trying to make me aroused, but I feel discomforted and I just want to leave. Before I do I have to assure her that she will be allright, but she interrupts me all the time and won’t let me speak. When she starts undressing I back out of her front door and into the hall.

In the hall I meet yet another woman. She’s a bit older than the other woman, and she’s got a child with her. She tells me she lives here, and that she does some sort of webcam thing for a living – I assume she’s talking about porn. We enter her apartment. Her kid disappears and we’re left in her livingroom, at which point the woman starts talking dirty. It’s pathetic, she acts just like the other woman, although she’s using other means of trying to arouse me. I can see that she’s sad, and angry as well, so I try to convince her that she doesn’t have to play that game with me, that I’m allright and that she can just relax. Just then my mobile starts beeping. I check it, and it’s my date – she’s wondering where I am. I start fiddling and trying to write her a message and at the same time speaking to the woman. Because of this I am unable to get my point across, the woman thinks I’m just trying to excuse myself for being there, so she gets more angry and throws me out.

I suddenly find myself in an empty bedroom. It’s hot and dark. I decide to go to sleep for a bit. As I get under the sheets, I feel a sudden fear. The darkness gets more intense, and I can’t see a thing through the windows. I concentrate on falling asleep, and I succeed in doing so. I only sleep for what seem like seconds, and I wake up from noises outside the window. It’s yet another woman this time, younger than the others. She’s running from window to window, knocking on them and leaving some weird post-it notes on them. I can see the content of the notes; it’s hopelessly romantic stuff, small pathetic poems and clichés of love and romance. She’s drawn a few hearts as well. I also start recieving messages from her on my phone. They all contain the same kind of intense love-romance-cliché stuff, but inbetween I can make out hateful words and badly hidden aggression.

Now she appears inside the room. She jumps right on me. She’s very desirable indeed, her face is pale white and she’s got beautiful black hair, her face is gorgeous but she’s obviously stir crazy. Her voice has a kind of desperate, high pitch, and she’s laughing and crying all at once. She forces me on my back. When I tell her I’m late for a date and that she’s got to get a grip on herself, she gets angry and acts jealous. She slaps my face a few times and start jumping up and down on top of me. I feel desperate and I can’t help thinking about my date and the woman that is waiting for me somewhere in this crazy building, a woman that I’d much rather see than all these crazy people. I long for safety and protection. I really need to escape, but…

… then I wake up.
