Chinese Invasion Dream
I was at a random coffee shop somewhere in Manila. It was around 6pm and the sun was going down. Christine was almost done with her coffee when she asked me what that was in the sky. I looked up and saw a Red and White Mig dancing around a passenger airliner, the Mig was Chinese. The fighter plane flew circles around the slow and lumbering Boeing, really fast and really agile, like a cat playing with its prey. After a few seconds it let out a burst from its machine guns and the passenger plane exploded violently and started to crash. This was happening so far away that not everyone noticed it yet. They went about their business, sipping their coffee. A couple of seconds later the sound of the explosion finally reached us, and everyone looked up and saw the burning aircraft. Gasps were traded and people started panicking. The Mig went on to seek its next victim but then, by some miracle, it was shot down by anti aircraft fire from Philippine guns. The Mig crashed toward our direction and almost hit us, it exploded about a hundred meters away from us down the street.
By this time i heard the sound of transport helicopters headed our way. I grabbed christine's hand and we started running for it. She asked what was going on and what the hurry was (she wanted to finish her coffee), she said we should call her driver to get here. I said there was no time because the helicopters were already landing nearby. as we were running we passed by some random black guy sitting down on a staircase. He was armed with a pistol and looked scared. I asked him if he wanted to come with us, he said okay.
We started hearing automatic gunfire both near and far and that's when I realised how vulnerable we were, i was really scared. We passed by a dead policeman outside a bank and I grabbed his revolver. It only had 6 bullets. As we were making our way through the city, we had a plan to rendezvous with Christine's driver at Manila Zoo (since it didn't seem like it would be a prime target for the soldiers). It was night time already and we heard explosions going off all around the city and the sky was starting to turn orange.
We turned a corner and faced a large crowd of squatters who still didn't know what was going on. I asked them to let us pass, but they stupidly replied (in tagalog) "We will not be terrorize by drugdealers!"
I told them "We're not drugdealers! We're being invaded!" but they didn't believe me, so we had to detour.
All of a sudden i saw a helecopter landing nearby and the troops unloaded and started firing into the crowd. That's when I woke up.
