First off, my laptop's screen when kaput so I'm without internet for about a week.5 which is not the best. But oh well.
Anyway, onto the subject of my subject.
I had a dream last night where I was a detective for HCC, and my normal job was to investigate if people had stolen books from the bookstore. I was a well-respected bookstore investigator too! So I was assigned a task to investigate one student who had taken a book and disappeared from the campus. I was working with police to find out what happened, but nobody knew.
As I interviewed more people, I found that a lot of them seemed to have somewhat-but-not consistent stories of where this student was. I also found that missing items would come back and look like they were used to the point of molecular exhaustion. I noted incidences like this, but didn't tell anyone so I could see if anyone else noticed.
The more I started combing the campus, I found that buildings didn't seem to be in the places where they should have been, doors were leading to different rooms, and people seemed to be slipping in and out of reality as they were walking to classes.
I tried to catch one of them slipping out, and managed to grab her arm while she did, and found myself in an alternate reality, where everything was in the process of being moved behind the scenes, before being put back into reality.
After wandering through this strange dimension, I found the book that went missing along with the supposedly kidnapped student, but the student was still missing. And the book seemed to be fluctuating in matter, and slowly the book's material form was used up, and it slid back into reality.
After searching for the cause of this dimension, I found an office sitting in the middle of the campus courtyard. There were guards out in front, but I was able to make myself 2d so they wouldn't be able to see me in this dimension.
I stormed into the office, and I found the cause of the disturbance: Sarah Palin. She was experimenting on the kidnapped student, slipping parts of him in and out of reality, when she looked up and saw me. "Dontcha knock when yer bustin' in on someone? What're ya doin' here?" She said.
"Are you the cause of the stolen items and the missing students?"
"You betcha! *wink* I am almost done with'n this place so I'll be able to take over your reality soon!" And with that, she made a hand motion and shot me back into reality.
I knew I had to find a way back and I needed reinforcements, so I went to campus security for help. They agreed to help me investigate, but I found their memories lacking about the campus. I would say, "but the *garbled* building was right there! And this *object* was supposed to be here!" But to no avail. They wouldn't listen.
I took them to the bookstore, which was now also a supermarket, and showed them that there were missing aisles, and the ones that were there were in the wrong places. They couldn't remember any history about it. I started asking general questions about the world to test their memories, and they could tell me some things but there were glaring oversights. They didn't know who the president was, what year it was, or that we were currently in two wars. I told them Sarah Palin was behind the memory loss and shifted reality, but they wouldn't listen. They couldn't remember who Sarah Palin was, and I warned them that forgetting her was dangerous.
I had a theory that the two realities were still intertwined and that we could just not see what was shifted out. I noticed that the aisle shelves were missing, but the markings on the floor where the original contractors placed them were still there. I yelled at the campus police to "look at this!", which they did divert their attention. I made a swiping motion and hit invisible bags of chips, which fell off the shelves and made a clearly audible sound, although were still invisible.
The campus police agreed something was amiss, and wanted me to lead them to the alternate reality. I went up to the front of the store where the cashiers were, spotted some groceries disappearing on the conveyor belt, and jumped on.
I and some of the police were in the alternate grocery store, and Palin was making plans with plainclothes soldiers on a big table, showing what objects to slip out and whose memory to steal.
I yelled out, "We're going to stop you! I'll never let you take over my reality!"
She smiled, laughed, winked, and said "Oh dear, I'm already about ta get my plans together, and yer not gonna do anything about it! Now take yer lackeys and be leavin' me alone, mmkay? *wink*"
I rushed at her, and she raise her hand. She telekinetically stopped me, and said "Dontcha get it? There's nuthin' youkin do. I'm too powerful. Now go tell the gotcha media I'mma comin' on in soon!"
She waved her hand and I shot back out of reality, and woke up. I had this urge that I had to do something really important this morning after I woke up, but couldn't remember what it was, and knew my memory loss was part of the importance.
Goddamn Sarah Palin.
