Zombies!

Swords and magic were the best ways to defeat zombies, but the hoards kept coming and we three found ourselves trapped in a building and started to move upstairs. We came across a man and his daughter and decided to take them with us too. Up we went through several floors of stairwells until we came upon a kitchen.

At first we thought they were more zombies, but there were about 8 people, resigned to their fate and having their last meal. "Don't eat the meat" I told the girl as I realised the carcass looked human. "It's ok." says one of the people. "He was turning, so we had to kill him anyway. Wouldn't want him to go to waste, would you? You should eat. Might be the last meal you get in a while."

The people thought that was hysterical and devolved into cackling laughter. "We've got to keep going." I whispered, but at that moment we heard something big and it was coming this way. We got ready, but as the huge zombified monster stepped into view we realised it was ignoring us completely and it continued its slow amble past. We got up and headed in the direction it came from... more stairs, until we were at the top of a platform and there was only a ceiling above us. I pushed the panels and they came apart easily and we climbed up into a huge enclosed stadium.

The stadium was empty, with a large sliding door on one end and a scoreboard in the centre. Next to the scoreboard was a hot air balloon. We realised we had climbed about 8 levels, but ended up on the ground floor again!! Outside was swarming with zombies, the only way was up... We went to the hot air balloon and there was a man asleep in the bottom of the basket. He was indignant when we took control and set its steady progression towards the roof where we could see a trap door......

Squeeky Clean

Mum washed the hair dryer in the sink then was complaining that it didn't work anymore. I should have been glad it wasn't plugged in at the time, but I couldn't help rolling my eyes as I continued to clean the cupboards.

Pong's Eternal Struggle

In the cupboard I found a old console system for Pong, which had a commemorative book and video. The video went into how Pong is more than just a simple game, with the two sides referencing the struggle between the Confederates and the Union and the ball representing humanities eternal struggle. The video then showed rednecks referring to "shooting those damn coons" at which point I turned off the video and decided that even though I loved Pong it probably wasn't appropriate material to share with my mother.

Upside Down Wine

Mark decided that all the bottles of wine we own needed to be turned upside down to keep them fresh and delicious. Balancing wine bottles upside down on a shelf is hard, even in a dream.

Lime Green

I was looking at a bright lime green country style kitchen and contemplating if I liked the green (and would buy the house), or if I didn't like the green at all. Suddenly the room was full of people for lunch. Mark's mum brought cucumber sandwiches and his aunty brought quiche.

Software and Sun

I went into a computer store and the owner was telling me about how they had proprietary anti-virus software, but they couldn't put it on the shelves because they had an agreement with Microsoft that they wouldn't sell it. So instead they just tell everyone that they have the other software instead. I finally left the store and we were going to go to Nans house for dinner. It was hot so we decided to drive. We passed a huge mansion which had an atrium for the top floor - it was my house and I thought to myself that I had better check if the atrium is clean as it looked like all the trees had lost their leaves. We arrive at Nans house and are pleased because there is a shady place to park the car, and the sun is going down quite quickly.

Break In

I was a little boy and a creepy man broke into my house with a gun, but I managed to sneak out and was running along a dirt track with my dog. He tracked us down, so we started heading towards some industrial buildings where they made tractor tyres, but the man had beaten us there and was telling the worker that a kid with a dog had run away from home and to call him if he sees me. I creep past a few more big sheds and see a truck just pulling up at a barn. I decide he probably hasn't been influenced by the man and ask him to drive me (and the dog) to NCIS.

Chinese Arts

Sun Li was 10... 4 years older than the age when she was supposed to marry, and I was supposed to marry her. Yes, I was a 30 year old Chinese man - her appearance kept changing between that of a 10 year old child and that of a 20 year old woman. So I decided against the marriage and taught her some martial arts instead.

Gothic House

We were inspecting a house we might like to rent and went up some wooden stairs into a 60s style kitchen. The current owners - a little old couple - were at home and offered us a glass of orange juice. They needed to go out so they left us to finish looking around. We went into a narrow hallway and found a door that didn't look like a door. I don't think we were supposed to go in there, but we went in and up some stairs. The room we found had very high ceilings and gothic looking furniture with the only light coming from the fireplace. There was a pointy black cat which was possessed and started following us around. We decided to leave and went back down the stairs - the cat followed us. Then we realised that the owners hadn't left, they were actually dead. We ran to the car to leave, and the cat continued to follow us...

Petting Zoo!

After shopping we were heading back to the multi storey carpark, but Mark had forgotten which floor we were on. I hit the button for the top floor. There is a petting zoo that had llamas and chickens. Some of the chickens had beautiful bright pink feathers and I wanted to take them home, but Mark wouldn't let me. Then, when we found the car Mark wants to go back to the shops because he forgot to buy his Mum a bag of pistachios.

Immitates Life

Arming up to shoot a ghost the other person suddenly turns the gun on me. I say "wait... I need to go to the toilet"... and then I woke up and needed to go to the toilet...

Reset and Isolation

There were no other humans around. I had to make my way around a building (in 2D - imagine Duke Nukem) and turn off and on 10 switches. Once I'd found and reset the last switch everything was back to glorious 3D and the people were all back. I walked down a corridor and into a room which was bright shining white with lots of silver displays and gauges. I was instructed to get into a "bath" which was actually a sensory deprivation pod, but the water inside was scorching hot. I kept my shoes on...

Eurovision Who?

Mark decided to set up mousetrap and monopoly, but then nobody wanted to play with him because Eurovision was on. He wasn't impressed because the first act was people in Doctor Who costumes doing an interpretive dance. All was redeemed when the next act was midgets in funny bright costumes singing an ABBA song.

Mud and Books

As if hiking through the mud up a hill isn't fun enough, the teachers on this excursion decided to let us line up in the rain at a book store in the middle of nowhere to purchase a particular text book.

Meteor Portals

I built an amazing turtle pond and just as I was adding the finishing touches for a very happy turtle I notice there is a lot of snow and ice around. I hear a huge crash and realise a meteor has just crashed into the ground about half a kilometre away. I fly to the location (yes, fly), but instead of a crater there is a huge byzantine style stone gazebo but the openings are shimmering and blue and I wonder if it is a portal to another world.

Tidal Wave

I had dinner with a Japanese family and then walked along a dark road to meet up with friends. At a point in the road there was a depression, like a creek. We started crossing when Harris says "have fun with that" and climbs up a barricade. I am not quick enough and a huge wave crashes into me, drenching me completely. Everyone else is dry. Our final destination is a very cool tree house.

Silence isn't Golden

Sitting in a waiting room, I tried to strike up a conversation with a woman. She was silent at first, then we started talking. Turns out she hadn't spoken to anyone for 15 years. She thanked me and I gave her the little cat keychain that was on my bag.
