An explosion

I dreamed I was taking a walk outside, behind a grain elevator or factory. I noticed that the chimney seemed like it was hotter and smokier than usual. Then suddenly it exploded into flame. I took off running to get as far away from it as I could, and to get home and tell Erick about it. As I was running, I realized my phone was in pocket and I should call 911. I reported the fire, and the dispatcher told me they already knew about it and were on the scene.

The next day I went back to work at Walmart, which happened to be right next door to the place that had burned. Amazingly, they had cleaned everything up so quickly that I couldn't even smell smoke in the air. It was empty, and they had workers pressure cleaning the walls.

At my job, my boss told me that today I'd be teaching kids how to write the alphabet. She also told me that my favorite Walmart employee would be my class, and did I know who that was? I said, "I don't know--there's a lot of people at Walmart that I like." She insisted I guess. I guessed Maryann, but it was actually Diandra. So I taught Diandra along with several preschoolers how to make a's.

Later on I found that I was a suspect in the fire, since I had been near the scene when it happened and didn't have an alibi.
