Serials

I'm in a supermarket and I'm walking down the aisle with the cereal. There's boxes and boxes to each side of me, but when I look, they're not cereal boxes. They have faces on the front. One I distinctly remember was my ex-boss's face, and I think another of them was my aunt. I hear the overhead announce say that they're having a deal, and that you need proof of purchases to redeem.

I knock down a bunch of boxes and sit down in the middle of the aisle and break out a box cutter. I start cutting out the serials, but they're not where they usually are but in the middle of the front of the box. They're smack dab in the center of the faces' foreheads. But I just keep cutting and cutting, until I have a whole stack. Then I reach up and I think I begin to start cutting into my own forehead but that's where I woke up.

I've been thinking about barcodes a lot lately, and reading up on tattoos for something I'm writing, which is where this might come from. And partially from Dark Angel, if anyone knows the show.
