Last night I had a crazy dream.
I was standing outside of a hospital but I also knew it to be a shelter of some sort because the news on the t.v. and radio had said that there would be a meteor shower and that we needed to be in buildings that were stronger than our houses.
It was night and I looked up at the sky and watched as the stars started shooting themselves wildly across the heavens, they were what looked like galaxies of swarming stars trying to open up, there were moving in spirals spinning and shifting while making room for other colors and designs. Then there was a second moon. How? It wasn't making sense, I kept wondering if I were in a dream. The people around me were oblivious and yet I couldn't open my mouth to tell them as I was in reverenced awe of what I was seeing. Then I heard a voice behind me, look! Look at that shooting star! It's so big and bright. Then we watched as it caught fire burning through our atmosphere and landing some 5 miles in the distance. It was incredible to experience something so magnificent and powerful right before my eyes. My mind told me to run but I couldn't move because of the curiosity that flooded my veins. It was unbelievably exciting! A few more came crashing through and one headed for us, at this time the early morning was breaking and all the while I was silent. I felt fear that it was the end and an emotion of sheer survival had overcome me, nothing seemed relevant or important anymore. Where was my family, were my friends OK? I was asking but I realized that I could only do what I could do, and family was the priority. I needed to find them, as these thoughts were bursting through my head a meteor was headed directly for the hospital. RUUUUUUUNNNNNNN! I screamed and we ran, there were so many innocent and ignorant people who died in that building in that second, but again it quickly sifted out of my mind, I had to focus and as I was running, I looked up to the sky and saw that these were not asteroids but discs of some sort with strange markings and patterns on them. Now the formation in the sky made sense to me, as being an entrance for these alien beings to enter our solar system. They caused a tear so profound and awesome that it created a second moon to enter our solar system. They were so advanced that the simplicity of there weapons seemed juvenile. They were attacking our earth!
I ran and ran, and by now it was bright outside, the sun was shining and it seemed as another beautiful day in the city, I felt as though I were an important cog in all of this excitement and terror but I couldn't imagine how. I ran across a deserted lane on the freeway and hailed a small red car that had stopped on the side of the road. there was a man it it bawling and blubbering like a baby, I don't know what to do he said, where do I goo they will find us we will all die, I said if you are now going to drive anywhere I want see what I can do, can you give me your car, still crying and desperately hopeless he handed me the keys to his little car and I drove away. I drove to the cities exit, but that is where all the congestion was. Everyone was so desperate to leave that no one could move in the traffic jam, there were thousands of people walking with there children and very few supplies, they wanted out, although no one knew where it was they were going to. there were living zombies and all in flight mode. That made me wonder, where were the ones who were fighting for us, I saw no evidence of any army or government aid whatsoever. I was stuck and couldn't move any further in the car so I jumped out and up on rails of the freeway to move more quickly, running jumping and hoping over things and bypassing angry people waving their fists at each other all panicked and out of their minds.
I came to a small group of woman who were in their 50's and 60's. They were fine, and they looked at me and said finally you have arrived! but now you must go back, go to that building and you will be safe and you will know what to do. So I took the way they had directed and went into a big red brick building that was perfectly rectangular with no added character to its architecture. I found the entrance and found stairs wide and white with black rails winding up and up to the top of the building with many brown doors lining the walls on the way up. I opened one and it led to a large corridor with many more light brown doors. So I walked down this hall still hearing the attacks outside. I opened a door and a person who had at times been a friend to me was standing their and said hi, she was distant in her emotions not wanting to share her space or ideas. I saw a bag of chocolate and asked if I could have some, she said sure but i sensed resentment in her voice for me eating her chocolate like a pig. I stared up at her and said thank you, I haven't eaten in three says, then I cold see her face retract her previous annoyance with guilt and with reprieve she offered other food as well and said she was sharing the place with another friend of mine, I thought this strange since they had never met through anyone but me and yet I had no idea of why they would hide this information. So I said, looking around at this massive 3 floored apt and I said, may I stay here for now until I know what I must do next and there she was back to her face of resentment. I was confused and unsure what the ladies from the street wanted me to do....
Then I awoke.
