Whenever I am in class and there are long periods of silence (tests, etc.), I create the following scenarios in my head and try to predict how they would play out:
--I suddenly become ill, and there is no time to leave the room. I vomit violently and loudly on the floor.
--Someone suffers a stroke/seizure and no one knows the proper medical procedure to care for them.
--There is a massive earthquake, and the building is not structurally sound.
--A crazed gunman bursts into the room, and either a) opens fire, or b) holds everyone in the room hostage.
--There is a loud explosion heard in the distance (the explosion is not close enough to blow out the windows, but definitely within the city limits, and casualties are a certainty).

I do this all the time. All of the time. I am glad I am not the only one!
My favorite one is whenever someone is mean to me, or says something awful, I imagine that the next time they see me, I am sickly and cancer-ridden. Then I imagine how sad and guilty they look.
Is that the same? Oh well.
I like the vomit one. I wonder how I'd deal with that?
