Not even dreams

one of my favorites, from Pinterest

Not even (sleep) 3/4/2026: 

1. It had to be somewhere between the 1960s or 1970s. Civil rights is the hottest topic on everyone’s mind. I was inside the view point of a young child. By the looks I got with different people, I had to be a african-amercian kid. My grandma told me about life back then. It was heart breaking to see how a couple throw drinks and spill at the child. 

2. I had to remind myself that I wasn’t in the present day. I was not in control, just watching as her life played on. A tall cop yeled at her for being alone, I could feel how terrified and paralyzed she was in that moment. She was deeply sorry, and quickly ran home. I feared the cop would follow, but that man walked the opposite way. I could hear people arguing and fighting inside the bright house. 

3. I realized that it was her parents when she choose to sat on the steps instead for going inside. Then a neighbor, a middle age woman, come up of the house next door. She took one good look at her and listened to the noise from the house. The lady went back to her house, confusing the girl and me. She came back with a pitbull and a german shepherd. Both dogs licked the girl then alerted to the yelling from the house. 

4. The dogs ran through the dog door, and separated the parents. I could tell the father was more aggerive by the increased yelling. The lady was on her radio and phone. Whowas she? Then the louder sounds of sirens alerted me that the lady was police. The sound scared the child, so the lady picked her up in her arms. That when I wake up to the sound of my alarms. 

Not even part 2 (sleep) 3/9/2026:

1. I could hear the same sirens from before, but I couldn’t see anything. I wanted to speak, but I reminded that I didn’t have a voice. The sirens wee moving further and further away from me. I tried to move, but it was like I was tied to the chair I was in. The sofr hissing sound grewcloser and closer at a constant pace. I was more concerned that I was food for the incoming creature. 

2. It came within feets of me when I heard something explode very loudly. The sound wave knocked me over, which didn’t feel great. I listened closely, to see if the beast lived or got hurt. It was moaning and groaning, so it was deeply wounded. I rounded over to my side, where I was lose enough to get my right arm free. I was able to twist and wiggle my way out. 

3. I took off my blindfold, and found yself facing the largest snake in my life. It had to be the prehistoric python from the dinosaur era. It’s eyes were glued to me, I was definitely it’s next meal. At this distance it couldn’t reach me, so I wanted to ask it a few questions. It were moaning deeper and more hallow, so I don’t have much time. 

   1. [Myself] Where am I?

   2. [Snake] My home, or what is left of it. (*coughing*) Who in the fuck puts bombs in a tunnel? Damn humans (*deep coughing*). 

   3. [Myself] The same people who thought I was better off as food. How long have they been here?

   4. [Snake] That is true. Maybe, two centuries or less. (*coughing*) 

   5. [Myself] Last question, is there a way to the surface? 

   6. [Snake] (*luaghs and coughs*) Yeah, there is one. It is behind me and to the upper left. But, I’m not dead yet. 

   7. [Myself] I know, but can you smell what’s in the current air? 

   8. [Snake] What do you mean? (*Sniffs the air, and begins to panic*) They would never kill me before killing one for there own first. So how will you survive?

   9. [Myself] The smell is from inside for you. They have poisoned you have weeks. Today those bombs opened your stomache. You have minutes maybe seconds before you bleed out. 

   10. [Snake] (*looks for there flat stomach to only see a giant gross series of holes, they begin to cry*) Do what you must to end this horror? I beg you. 

   11. [Myself] As you wish, may you rest in peace. (*I took a nearby sword from a knight’s skeleton and thrusted it through tough scales to the heart. The snake sighed and faded with it’s last breathe. I was not proud of myself, but I was at peace.*) 

4. I careful climbed over the body, just to see if the snake was right or wrong. There were four paths: upper left, left, right, and upper right. I went up to the upper left path, and I could see daylight at the end of the tunnel. I was so happy and relieved, but I stopped just before reaching the every top. I could hear the conversations of humans preparing for the snake to come out at any point. What will they do if they see me instead?

5. So I waited till the sun was long gone, and the moon was high in the night sky. As I climbed onto the surface, I keep my body close to the ground. The stars dotted the endless space overhead. I watched as people went home with sadness curved deep on their faces. I was in a different world then before, or a world that had aged. The people were all the same shapes and heights. 

6. I came up to the first house, their were all asleep upstairs. I was more interested in what culture I had landed in. It looked american, but not what I am use to. The flag outside the home was red, white, and blue. It had 250 stars, in a unique circle pattern. It still had the original 13 stripes of red and white. 

7. I could hear sirens again, this time, I watched the people rush out into a large field across the way. Then I watched as SirenHead appeared from the distance mountains. I hide as soon as I as I saw it, but none of them hide. I woke up in panic, but feeling relieved in the end.
