Drama in the 99 Cent Store

I was at the 99 cent store with Max and Michelle. I was showing them that you could buy multi-colored camis for 99 cents. There were some that were orange. At some point we separated, and a homeless man walked passed me coughing. I was looking at some products and I heard in the distance the homeless man still coughing. Then I heard some commotion and much louder, more dramatic coughing, and I gazed down the aisle and he had fallen in front of the cashier. He was on his back with his legs up. I thought I should call 911 but everyone was acting so casually that I thought maybe this guy came into the store and did this all the time. I started to get my phone out, and all of a sudden I saw Erika run over to him and start doing CPR. She was pumping him and blowing into his mouth and I was so disturbed that she was doing mouth-to-mouth because he seemed so dirty, but I was also mad at myself for not running up and doing the same. But then I convinced myself that he had a better chance of survival because she was a doctor. At some point I made eye contact with Gav, Erika's husband, who was standing nearby. Then Erika stood up and grabbed the homeless man's legs and shook him a little and I overheard her tell the clerk that he should have responded by now, and that she was sorry she wasn't able to save him. I couldn't believe this was happening. She went to the bathroom in the store to wash her hands. When she finally emerged I approached her. She was with another woman whom I thought I recognized from Erika's son's bar mitzvah but the woman said she was from the anxiety clinic in L.A. We all walked out to the parking lot and Erika was a little shaken and I kept telling her she did a good job.

Liar, Liar...

I was with Jen (sister) at a restaurant, which may have been the club at Mountaingate. I'd collected mail at Mom and Dad's house, and a bunch of envelopes were addressed to me. I opened one and it was from John Perry, the business manager. I began to read it out loud to Jen. It was written to Dad even thought the envelope was made out to me. It thanked him for supporting John on his career change, and move to another city. I was confused because I didn't know he'd moved. Then he wrote that he thought I was awesome (and he wrote "awesome" in big, bubble letters) but he had to tell Dad about the lie I'd been overheard saying. He said his friend was on a plane recently and overheard me talking to someone on that plane and he felt it was his duty to tell Dad. Jen was like, "Yeah, yeah...what was the lie?" I said I had no idea but maybe it had to do with Max. I couldn't remember what flights I'd been on recently but then remembered I'd gone to NY. There was another big page of the letter outlining the lie, and just as I was about to read it, I woke up!
