Dreaming of the Apocalypse again

May 30, 2011 11:31

I just had another night mare. It started as a trailer for tranformers 3 and optimus emerged from this pile of scrap metal. He had no recollection of me, no recollection of the man with me. And he decided to go on a bit of a rampage. We tried to follow him buy he moved too fast.

Somehow we ended up in a university dorm for anthropology students and were discussing the implications of a giant killer robot on the loose when absolutely everything stopped working. Power, Internet, everything went. We piled into our cars and went to visit someone who knew more (the dean, the mayor?) and he told us we should head for Edmonton.

We stole a small 20 seater jet and took off from where we were I'm Washington. On our way to edmonton I begged for them to stop so I could see my nana. The apocalypse hadnt hit there yet. The Internet was down but her phone/power still worked.

I begged her to come with but she declined but she told me to take her friend. She could help us, teach us and guide the next generation into the future. So we took her friend and raced back to the plane. We'd brought two vehicles and we completely drained them of their gasoline before getting into the plane.

Just as we began to take off the panic we had left in Washington picked up in Chilliwack and we had to go. There was a riot as we were leaving but we turned the nose if the plane northeast and didn't look back.

We arrived in Edmonton to see it post-apocalypse. The riots had happened, people had fled. We stole a couple cars, stole some fuel and got underway.

We were doing pretty good until we had to offside through the Edmonton river valley, down that steep hill coming down from the university, the one with the hairpin curve in it. Something went wrong with one of the cars. We were struggling with what to fo when Nikki, Sixel's friend pipes up, "it's shit like this that brings out my better personality" she got us going again through the snow drifts

We finally made it down town and sought out the building the mayor/dean/authority guy had told us about. We found it but it was guarded, heavily. There were tons of armed men all over the place, outside, on the wall, on opposite buildings... They asked us who we were and we told them. Initially they denied us but the guy who I was with (I know who it is now! Matt!) told them it had been us who initially witnessed the rise of the killer robot. They radio'd someone and got the go ahead to let is in.

We went in and made it past the lobby and understood immediately why they had so many guards. The stockpiled non-perishable warehouse would be enough for a hundred people to rebuild and maybe start a farming colony or something.

We were "shopping" for something to eat when I woke up... Had to write this down before I lost it. 

dreaming, dreams, nightmare
