The End of the World

"Last night I had me a dream, son
The end of the world could be seen
No sign of life could I feel, son
Nothing was what it had been..."

I've been dreaming about the end of the world a lot lately. -_- And zombies...

Weird, huh?

I guess I'll start telling you about the first end of the world dream. See, it didn't start as that. It started like I was in an old detective movie, only it didn't LOOK like an old detective movie. Like, it had the tired old plot of people being killed and me trying to figure out who done it. The people being killed were being killed by no possible means though. They just dropped dead, as if being killed supernaturally. Whoever was doing it was obviously not a normal human being. As if it couldn't get anymore overused story, I ran into a man who could talk to animals, and he told me that the animals had sent him to warn me. Of course, before he could warn me or whatever, another person mysteriously dropped dead. By now I was angry. Trying to find this guy was driving me mad.

THAT'S when the end of the world kicked in. People all over the world started dropping dead all at once. The only place where an individual could go without living in fear of dropping dead was a cavern. Me a few people ended up taking refuge there, and before too long, whoever stepped outside the cavern would drop dead just upon hitting the atmosphere outside.

Finally it was down to just me and one guy in there, and we both knew that we couldn't live in there forever...and that's when I woke up.

The next dream was when the zombies came into play. It was like being trapped in an old B-movie. The zombies were the living dead kind, and I was a teenager in a cool car. I was some jock dude in this dream, believe it or not. I was just driving along, acting awesome, when the zombies attacked. I soon broke into the nearest cute little suburban home I could find and was protecting myself against them. Before too long, they broke into the house. The only thing separating them from me was a mattress. Honestly, this must have been SOME mattress! It kept them out with ease. All except one. It was a little kid. A little kid that I knew, apparently. Or DID know, like, before he became a zombie. Despite how hard it was on me, I was able to kill him. Eventually, they got tired of trying to get through the totally awesome mattress and the attacks died down.

I woke up and found this dream to be very strange, only to fall back asleep and dream that I was now in the first dream's cheesy sequel. I was myself once again, and the stereotype classic jock that I had been in the first dream was now my friend. He was taking me to show me his other friend's really awesome car. Like, REALLY awesome car! Dude, this bad boy could transform to go into water, okay? THAT'S WHEN THE ZOMBIES ATTACKED! We got into the car and boosted off! Somehow we ended up in the sewer where we waited out the zombie attack. Suddenly, we saw a figure moving in the corner. We all became afraid that the zombies had found us. However, it ended up being a troll. A troll that looked surprisingly like a very large mogwai. LUCKILY, it was friendly. And spoke very proper. It didn't really matter though. I woke up at that point.

One of today's latest dream I found myself walking around town at night when a strange storm hit. I ended up asking this guy with a huge house if I could come in to get out of the storm. He agreed, but didn't seem to really like me. As the storm raged on, he showed me his collection of old film reels. He was talking about how he didn't want them anymore. And with that, he flung them all outside. I told him that he was crazy, and went outside to retrieve them for myself since he didn't want them anymore. Trying to gather them all before the storm ruined them, I found a girl sitting outside. She was hiding in the bushes for some odd reason. When I went to ask her why she was outside hiding in bushes during a storm, that's when the zombies attacked. Despite the fact that I didn't even know her name, me and the girl went into hiding. The guy in the house didn't make it. All throughout the dream we were avoiding the zombies the rest of the night. By morning, the zombies had began dying down. The survivors began taking the remaining zombies and mummifying them so they would be dried out and beef jerky like. Then the dream took an abrupt turn! Beef-jerky like zombie apparently make good pogo sticks. =/

I woke up for a sec, but feeling sick, I ended up falling back asleep soon after. That's when one of my most disturbing dreams occurred. It started out so simple too. Me, my mom, my dad, and my grandma were just riding along in the car like nothing. That's when the sky opened up. A great gold halo appeared, and it was beautiful. The beauty didn't last long though, as a meteor shot out of the halo and crushed a nearby house. Soon another halo appeared, and another. Each one shot out a new meteor, crushing random houses as they did so. One hit our car, and knocked my mom several feet away. I rushed to her to see if she was hurt. As I helped her up, I got a weird vibe. I looked up at the halos in the sky, and somehow I knew that that was it. The world was ending. However, I wasn't afraid. I held my mom close to me and told her that I was glad that they were all there with me.

After there were ten halos in the sky, we felt the ground shake beneath our feet. That's when two gigantic tigers came stomping through. A guy came running by just as one of the tigers snapped him up in its mouth like he was a chew toy. We ran from the tigers into a back alleyway. We might have been facing our doom, but we weren't gonna sit there like idiots. Soon a giant man came stomping by. Unlike the tigers, he wasn't trying to cause harm. He seemed scared and confused...

Next came the giant heads. Ten of them. They were rolling around all disoriented crushing things in their path, unaware of their destruction all the while.

That's when the hooded being came. He just appeared out of the sky. He was the biggest figure of them all, and had now face. He seemed to be just a cloak. As the people scattered, he would point out specific ones and call out their sins. After naming off all the wrongs they had done, he would pick them up and devour them. He even ate one of the giant heads, which occurred to us had been a normal being at some point. Suddenly, he looked down at our little huddled group. We knew for sure he was going to devour us next. However, he simply asked us if the house we were hiding beside belonged to us. We answered no, and he left us alone to eat the people inside the house. I'm still not entirely sure why we were so special...

The house next to us was the next to be raided. He began eating the people inside it. Suddenly he stopped. The door to the house became a mass of hands, and they opened to let out a little girl and a redheaded woman with her. The little girl, even though she didn't know us, came over and hugged onto us just as we were hugging onto each other. We didn't question her or reject her, but held onto her as if she was our own. The woman began to join us too, but a disembodied voice called out to her. It said, "Forsaken the child!"

Instead of joining us, the woman went back inside the house. The hooded figure called out in a sad voice and said to her as she closed the door, "Oh, what hast thou done?"

He seemed legitimately sad at this, but continued onto his duty of eating the sinners inside the house. Next her reached into a nearby house an pulled out a woman. She was pregnant and naked, and seemed to be bleeding. Just as he lifted her up to eat her as well, that's when I woke up.

I was so incredibly disturbed by this, I couldn't get back to sleep...

And that's been my dreams so far. I wonder what tonight will bring.
