The Tale of the Alligator King
I had quite an interesting dream last night. When I woke in the dream (or from what I can remember of where it started) I was laying face down on the ground. Dementors were nearby, and I knew that everyone around me was dead, but if I stayed still like I was dead too, then they would pass me by. They eventually left, and I got up and hurried away as quickly as I could without them finding me. Eventually I came into a town, which was kind of an old-fashioned England-like town, and found a pub/restaurant that was still open with its lights on and everything. I thought this was strange, since mostly everyone in the world was dead from the dementors. I went in, and there were many people around, including the family who owned the pub/restaurant. I became friends with them, and we were pretty much trying to figure out what to do about these creatures killing everyone off and who was controlling them. At that time we realized that some dementors were coming so we turned off all the lights and hid ourselves as best we could. We realized that this wouldn't work, because there weren't very many places to hide, so the wife told us of a secret passage that connected the pub/restaurant to the house the family lived in, which connected to the streets outside. The plan was to just get as far away as possible, out into the country, so we wouldn't be found. As we were escaping, the leader behind all the dementors was The Alligator King, who was bathing in a large basin that was in the pub/restaurant. He was angry and couldn't figure out how we'd escaped, but came to realize the secret passage that we escaped through, and became even angrier. He bound out of the pub/restaurant and ran full-speed, trying to find us. At one point he lost us, but I was running around in a pink wig (I'm guessing to try and get his attention... >_>; ), so he noticed me, and immediately started after me. I ran as fast as I could even though there were hills and such, and hid behind a house. The Alligator King was right on my heels, but didn't see me in the immediate area. I found the family I was with, and they had a plan, which was to cage up The Alligator King. I think they thought he was just a man though, because the trap was much too small. He was enraged, but trapped, and I wondered why he was so angry. Eventually he returned to his normal appearance, which was a guy, and told me that he just wanted to be an actor and that work was so extremely hard to find as such, and he was frustrated. I completely understood, and knew that he was killing people off for that reason. The rest of the family came out at that point, and everything was back to normal.
