Dream CXXIV

I was at my house, working on the computer, when several very nicely dressed people showed up to hold a board meeting.  They invited me to attend, and I was soon mingling with the various personnel.  I heard a shot go off, and one person showed me the gun he had just bought.  I took it and looked it over.  It was a small 22 automatic with a strange bullet chamber.  He took it back and started reloading it.

I saw smoke coming from the corner of a few rooms.  One of the managers saw me looking at it and assured me it was from a vaporizer.  Every now and then during the meeting, various futuristic planes would fly overhead.  The house had massive windows, making the surrounding area completely visible to everyone, but I was always the first to spot the planes.  As they passed overhead, water seemed to rain down from them, and when they had gone a little further, they dumped a massive amount of water onto an isolated house.  It turned out these were new fire-fighting planes the company had bought that were being tested on an abandoned house

Just then the fire-alarm went off.  I assumed it was just another part of tests, but I saw there was a small man in the hallway who was lying right where one of the firedoors would crush him.  I tried to hold the door back, and shouted at him, but he didn't move.  Finally I reached down and flung him a few feet away and allowed the firedoor to close. 

A janitor with greyish-blue skin, who was chewing on a leather belt, told me that I had to move along with the others.  I tried to tell various people about the small man, but by the time the alarm was cleared and the firedoors withdrawn, he was nowhere to be found.
