It started at Wal-Mart. It was close to my birthday and I wanted to have a party, a Halloween party. My mother and I were browsing through the Wal-Mart, it was set up a little differently than the one in town, the costumes were against the back wall in aisles.The bikes were to the left and the garden center door was just to the right. There was also a large door near the garden center exit doors that looked like the one near the cart area in the front, only this one was closed and locked up.
We were browsing all the props and talked to one of the workers about ideas. I found a really cool Bastet costume and kept on browsing, we found fake ice blocks and a fog machine as well as bones and window clings. My mother went to a different aisle and I had the cart I somehow made my way down the aisles and into the toy section, which surprisingly had tons of stuff that could be used as props for an awesome party. I then began to worry, I hadn’t seen my mother in a bit and looked around for her. I parked my cart near some cash registers in the back and grabbed my purse. Then I saw my friend Sam, walking around. I left my purse and ran after her shouting her name trying to get her attention but she didn’t hear me. I then decided to head back to the cart and my purse before my stuff got stolen.I noticed people leaving in a hurry, there were tons of customers just running around looking for each other and trying to get out as fast as possible. I was going to get my phone out and call my mom to see if she was alright. However, before I could get it out people were running out faster it was chaos so I decided to trek it out as well. I somehow got the impression there were monsters on the loose. I don’t know if I saw them or heard someone talking about them but I knew. People were stealing things and the police had shown up. The police didn’t care about what people were stealing they were just trying to evacuate the building and see if anyone was hurt. I looked over at the bikes and contemplated stealing one to make my getaway faster since I had no idea wear the car was or the keys. I decided against it, it would waste to much time tightening the pre built ones so I ran.
Surprisingly enough I didn’t run in slow motion like I do in most dreams, this one felt more real. I was moving at a pace I could achieve in real life and I didn’t feel weighted down, like when you’re trying to walk in a swimming pool. I took the garden center back exit into the far end of the parking lot. I was in a different city than my home, one I haven’t been to before. I saw people running around and driving off, then I noticed Sam again. This time she saw me too so we ran to her car.
Then I saw them. The monsters they were tiny but in little groups, they were light gray and ancient looking. A Minion comes to mind when giving them a proper name. They were destroying things almost instantly they surrounded things and devoured them. There was a group of them between us and Samantha’s car, standing near a parked cars driver side front tire. We had to run through them, so we did and for some reason they scurried away. We hopped in her car and drove, we stopped and parked the car near a cafe. The building looked like it was a couple of stories tall with all black windows on the front. There were people holed up inside and it looked fairly safe. When we got inside it looked more like a college class room with a ton of windows, the owner was at the front talking to everyone. There were book shelves near the desks so I started looking through the shelfs figuring we’d need stuff if we were running off, I found some feminist books and decided to buy them. We were going to need entertainment of some sort! The lady at the register was apparently an author of some of the books and was an older indie/hippie. Instead of checking me out she stole my wallet with id and ran off she said her credit card reader wasn’t working so she was going next door to see if they could give her cash if she swiped it there. She ran past the store across the street and we lost sight of her. No one knew what was going on, so we locked the doors up. The monsters were coming.
The rest of the customers were all college aged and just wanted to stay safe and work together. One of the monsters got in though and started attacking a man, he was done for so we ran. We couldn’t help him. We went through the back where employees were only allowed and ran out the door. The hoard of mini monsters had already passed us so we ran towards Sam’s car only to see that they had broken out windows and wrecked it up. I suddenly saw an image where they were all surrounding a building and literally eating it up into nothing but blackness. Apparently they were only powerful in large groups. We started running down the street trying to find a vehicle we could steal. We saw a young woman getting into her car and starting to pull away we stopped her and asked if we could come too and she said hop in. She took us to her house so we could help her gather some supplies. She was thin and had orange/red hair she told us to grab what we could wear from her closet. Even though she was tall and lean she had some huge hoodies I snatched up and I changed into some army green cargo pants and a black tank top. I felt bad ass. We began gathering what we could… but then I woke up to the phone ringing.
