I just woke up from a dream about zombies. And yes, I had a sword. How freaking sweet was that?
Of course- the only people smart enough to survive were myself and this prostitute I later ran into.
So I guess there was this military experiment gone wrong and these two poor bastards got turned into zombies. They were giant "Alpha" zombies that grew to be about 20 feet tall and were terrorizing the city (I believe I was in LA). I was working in this building downtown. Not sure what I did for a living, but it was a big operation. Perhaps media? Anyway, once people realized that life just wasn't going to be the same any more- everything transitioned into chaos. Of course. Everyone in my office stopped what they were doing and became glued to the TV. The news helicopters followed these giants as they chased down crowds and spread their pestilence. We watched them from high up in our building until they ran down our street as they stomped on people and chomped off their heads. The carnage suddenly became very real to us. Everyone's reaction was to immediately evacuate the building.
I ran downstairs with some dude I knew from work who happened to be a badass and we hopped in a van and went to this innercity monastary? We went around back and there were these freaky children waiting in the stairwell to the basement behind the building. They were totally pre-zombie and they knew it so they decided to fuck with us. Badass pulled his gun out and broke free of the one who was attacking him, but lost the gun to their grandma who we didn't see crouched in the corner, stupidly protecting them. I wrestled the gun free and one of the kids came at me. I pulled the trigger and nothing happened- looked at the butt- no clip. Doh! No wonder it was so light! I looked at Badass and he was holding the extra clips, shaking his head apologetically. I managed to throw the attacking child off of me and it hit this big picture window behind me. I cringed expecting him to either hit it with a thud or break it. Instead he fell through the corner of the window and into the building. Apparently it was plexiglass and not sealed very well? We realized the building he fell into was actually the monastary we were looking to hide in. Shit. So the other child scurried away laughing and the creepy grandma remained there, crying.
We managed to pry open the doors and what do you know? There were already hundreds of other assholes there. Some of them clearly sick and injured. Fuck. Badass handed me a sword and grabbed the gun, immediately loading one of his full clips (asshole!) and suddenly we had a group of zombie fodder encircling us. Time to get out. I'm pretty sure I got to use my sword on some of the jerks who wouldn't get out of the way. Wish I could remember that part more clearly.
Somehow Badass and I got separated as we were exiting and this random woman started following me. We needed to find provisions. She knows of a place. We got to this gaudy purple house with white trim- greeaat. She explained to me that this was a "bordello" of sorts that was a slight cut above her "tier". Great. She was a prostitute. So although she had some access, she wasn't a member and wasn't sure if we would be able to get in. Under the stoop there was a metal case containing keys attached to these remote looking things with buttons. I imagined that enclosed in each were the various keys to the house. I'm not sure what the other, smaller keys were for. We are unable to pry them open so resorted to creeping around to the windows.
I left Prostitute at the stoop and started creeping around the left side of the house, sword in hand. This sword was awesome. It was about 4 ft long, 5 inches wide and extremely pointy at the end. It had some lovely engravings on either side and was very light and wieldy so I was able to carry it in one hand. I heard a rattling by one of the bay windows as I walked by. Someone was watching me from inside! I tapped on the window and asked for help. Someone gave me a signal I interpretted to run back to the stoop. I don't know why they were being so nice! We weren't waiting at the door for too long before we were let in by an extremely flamboyant man in a tuxedo. The people there seem to know Prostitute and warmly welcomed both of us. There were many sex workers there and they were all relaxing and drinking as if what was going on was some sort of minor blip and things would be ok soon. Like a power outage- but obviously not because they were using the jacuzzi and partaking in copious amounts of food and booze. This put me in a bad mood and I resolved to carry on after resting. I tried to talk some sense into these....sigh... hedonists, but they just went on ignoring me. Perhaps that was how they wanted to die? Then I noticed that some of them were looking sick. And they were all in this jacuzzi together. Sick soup. This place was going to implode. So I packed up some provisions and tried to pick a direction. It was either North or South. I picked North. All I could think of were green forests. Must get to the mountains, I thought.
And then I woke up.
Sometimes I have these really lucid dreams. I love it when they're like a movie. Especially when it's about zombies :D
