I'm the U.S., and I'm not living a successful, abundant life. I don't have a job, and I'm dissatisfied with my circumstances.
Then, the place I'm in the middle of applying to for a job is bombed and I am kidnapped by Russian soldiers. They take me in a truck across the border.
I'm terrified, but all they do is assign me to work as a medic.
I don't think I'm suited to that, but there's some security in having a stable role to perform. A piece of me is actually happy with this new situation. But this was still tasked to me under threat, and I'd be working for the "enemy," so I also feel very afraid and exploited still.
They don't give me any instructions or monitor me, so I wander around looking for a way to escape. My mother shows up, and I try to explain to her that I've been kidnapped. They probably have my passport, and I need to get it back. But she doesn't see why I can't just cross back into the US with her. I am almost certain that the U.S. will not allow me back into the country without some kind of proof that I am a U.S. citizen. But I consider her idea.
INTERPRETATION
I think I feel kind of bummed out about not having a regular social role. And I've considered doing a lot of things that aren't a "normal," stable job just to get some kind of success with something that takes me out of the house. I don't really want to try something really fringe and unusual, but I feel pushed into trying it sometimes (being forced into going over to the other side because there's nothing in my homeland). I don't really want something boring and conventional, but I often think it's an acceptable compromise (being a medic).
