Last night, I had a really rad nightmare... or was it? Ang saya kasi eh. Hihi
We were watching kasi this football game in the Yankee Stadium (football in a baseball stadium? Labo.) I don't exactly remember how I got down to the basement. I think I was with a group of people, however I can't remember how big our group is and who consists of it. Underneath the Yankee Stadium was an abandoned hospital.
We went exploring and we found a way out of the hospital. We then started hitchhiking this deserted expressway. Once we're at the toll plaza (or so that was what I think it was), we started seeing strange people with strange movements. I knew in an instant that they were the undead.
We entered their town. They weren't stupid at all! There were zombie drivers, zombie nurses, zombie passersby, zombie et cetera. Though they're smart, I know that they were still craving for living human flesh kasi they were starting to close in on us. Basta there were lots of running. Two big buses arrived while we're trying to run away from the zombies. These buses contained real living humans-- those just like us. The buses offered daw a mobile shelter for the living, promising its passengers to get them to some place safe. And hirap na kasing bumalik eh. There were lots of zombies dun sa toll plaza kanina.
Right! I remember being with Maggie and Guilli then. We were seated at the second story of the bus (open, walang roof). Somehow I sensed na the bus was releasing this hallucinogenic gas. Guilli started seeing things-- he started mumbling about a blackboard tapos he was writing on it daw with a chalk. He was going insane. Before it totally got to Maggie, I grabbed her tapos we jumped off the bus a lá ninja. Really, we did!
Maggie and I ran to the roadside, tapos off the bridge (where the buses were sitting on). It wasn't that high naman eh. There we found a small church, one so small, we couldn't fit through the doorway. Maybe it was just a huge dollhouse or something. So we stayed right next to it, hoping na the vines would shelter us. I was trying to construct my death note na ata by then since I was "losing hope" eh. Ewan. I just thought na that we were supposed to lose hope na since we know that there's no getting back up with all those zombies mingling at the toll plaza.
Then came a group of living humans-- most of which were familiar to me! Andun si Gab Soriano and some other high school buddy though I can't remember na since it already faded with the rest of some of the details of my dream. I also remember being with Innah Tordilla, and Penny from The Big Bang Theory.
They were with a man who looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger who ordered us to come with him kasi daw he might know a place where we can hide. We ran and ran and ran and entered a building and ran and ran. Of course, we were running because we were being chased by zombies. For the record, even though the zombies were civilized, they were such slow runners. Tapos, while the zombies were at it, our group penetrated this small room, then we locked the doors. Of course, being such a pussy, I went dun sa wall opposite the door para sure.
I went through my backpack to get my phone. I was hoping na may free wifi-- but who was I kidding? I immediately turned my wifi sensor off since the zombies might track us down. Who knows, right? They were smart zombies. By then I was thinking about telling Mama what happened through text, explaining to her na I went to the kanayunan since she would only take it as bullcrap if I tell her na I'm with a group which was stuck in the zombie world. Bullcrap, riiiight. Anyway I decided not to send it kasi baka our group still has a chance to go back to the human world.
We were there waiting for nothing for a loooong time. There's no reason to believe na rescue will actually come. I doubt that somebody even knows we're down there. Yes, people above might acknowledge our absence, pero there's no way they're going down there to look for us.
Then comes a stray zombie encounter. Innah Tordilla was supposed to be watching the door, but somehow, the door was left open (if I remember correctly, we shut it close kanina), tapos nagpapahangin ata si Innah. No one was doing something about it, so I ran to door, pulled in the zombie, and closed it shut. Why did I pull the zombie in, you ask. Well, if he were to be shut out by living humans, he would most likely scratch and scratch and scratch at the door to try to get in (for a meal), tapos he might catch the attention of other zombies passing by. Anyway its body looked kinda brittle, so I snapped it into half. Aba aba, wala ata siyang zombie superstrength unlike dun sa mga napapanood ko sa Resident Evil. Good.
So we waited. Again, for nothing. Siguro that Arnold Schwarzenegger dude was just waiting for the right time to strike or something. Penny started singing just because she was bored.
Then I heard roars outside the room. It had stained glass windows naman with a circular hole about half an inch in diameter, so I took a peek outside. Apparently, there was a zombie gathering taking place just outside our room. The zombies were playing music and Penny was singing to it. The volume of her voice was going up-- she seemed to be enjoying herself, so I had to tell her to keep quite and shit.
A cute zombie (kamukha ng dating kong crush in high school) with a cigarette in his mouth might have probably realized that something's up with the room we were in. Curious, he opened the (unfortunely unlocked) door, so I pushed it close immediately. Seconds later, there were lots of clawing at the door. I was holding the door back while the rest of my crew looked at me, not knowing what to do, too. Someone helped me hold the door, so I decided to take a peek out of the hole ulit to see how bad the situation was.
I saw a woman dressed smart casually looking at me. "Jean?" she asked. Sabi ko, yes, I am Jean. I do not know who she is, though. She asked me to open the door and run for it, while she took care of the other zombies. She herself was a zombie, but I decided to trust her.
I opened the door, the rest of our group went for it, but I had to go back for my backpack. For some reason, I could not find it anymore. I looked at the door, realized na kakalabas lang ng last person, and decided na I should start running for my life since ako nalang tao sa loob. The smart-casually-dressed woman led the way out. We were running and shit, but this time however, the zombies seemed to be scared of getting in contact with us.
The only thing I could think of was my backpack. I was worrying about my phone kasi Jillian had recently lost hers, I don't want to be an addition to another irrelevant expenditure. Then it occurred to me na nakipagpalit pala ako kay ***** ng phone. How the hell was I supposed to replace his? I'm experiencing this summer pennilessness. Moving on.
Were back to the human world. Tapos nagising na ko.
I can't consider this dream to be a nightmare since I didn't feel uncomfortable having it, unlike the one where I was supposed to manually climb up a super mega duper steep cliff since Sadako was after me. This one was pretty fun naman.
Cheers to the post-armaggedon zombies. May they be as smart and civilized as the ones in my dream.
