Dream 4 & 5: Zombies and Floods

More post-apocalyptic dreams! I know you were waiting with bated breath for these so I decided to post them. Both are really short, so that's why I'm doing two in one post.

The polar ice caps have melted and the earth has flooded. So, after school, Amanda, Emeri and I all climb onto a mattress and float down the newly formed river through suburban Johnson County. We're trying to communicate with our friends who are on another mattress, so we tie little notes to a bluebird who flies back and forth between our mattresses. The end.

Somehow, most of the world's population has been turned into zombies. And they're the human-eating kind or something. Either way, they're dangerous but only at night when they're awake. I go to the store to get some food during the day, and for some reason it takes me a long time and I end up encountering some zombies at the Hen House. Thankfully the guy from Owl City is there and we team up to trick the zombies and trap them in the store so that we can escape into his car with our produce. We're in Hawaii and he tells me about this house owned by his friend Gabe Saporta (the lead singer of Cobra Starship, who is crazy) that is zombie fortified (think I Am Legend). So we drive past the deserted resorts and homes to get to his house. It's now daytime again and Gabe and the others who have found refuge at his house come out to greet us, including a scientist that has found the cure for the zombie disease. He's made it into an aerosol form and that night I am put into a fortified, tranparent room to tempt the zombies. When they start climbing on it trying to get to me, the cure is released and they pass out. Once it's light, we drag them into the house next door which has also been fortified and has an underground tunnel leading to the first house so that they can recover. When they wake up, they're human again.

And then I woke up.

  1. I swear, way to many tv shows were crammed into those dreams. I luv it. You really do belong in a creative writing class. What is more interesting is the fact that you are a fictional style writer. I didnt expect that. Some time throughout the semester, i would love it if you wrote a story with lots of brynn-flair. Im looking forward to it, DONT LET ME DOWN. lol
