i had this awful dream where i was working for field ops and we went into some building and my partner was ben affleck. as we were waiting for a signal, he was telling me what it felt like when you died in an explosion. he said, "at first it feels like a thread being pulled off your body..." i think he meant that the friction of your hair burning off in a poof! feels like that. i contemplated what he said as i stood against the wall with my gun in hand.

then suddenly there was this insanely orange glow and i felt the sensation of a string being pulled off my arm and i KNEW we were dying in a bomb that had just gone off! i wanted to scream as my arm was being string-cheesed but it happened so fast that i was eerily calm. it was so terrible.

it was so weird, it really did feel like a thread!
