Escape
Dream November 30th 2024
I wake. My landlord walks through my apartment as he has built around and through it.
The lynx Maine coon mix that he owns is in bed snuggling with me.
He tells me that the cat gave him a look he didn’t Feel comfortable with and that he might get rid of him.
I say surely you can just give him to me as I am the one caring for him. He shrugs and says maybe and heads outside.
Next I awake and there is a man in my bed telling me that I must have sex with him. I calmly but intensely start begging him to leave me be.
I am old I say and frightened and please couldn’t he be decent and leave.
He ponders. He looks wild and odd.
Okay he says and leaps from the bed and is gone.
This place is unfamiliar to me and there are people in the halls.
Everyone looks rough and ragged as if out of station 11.
There are infected amongst them but they are invisible until they attack and get life force from a kill. The attacked — their skin has a gold shimmer and they look instantly sick and drugged.
A truck emerges in the courtyard. An old fashioned safari type vehicle with seats that fold off the back and sides.
A famous comedian is driving and looks nervous as a crowd surrounds him and his passengers .
Am I free to go? I ask a man standing next to me as we look out the window.
If you can go you can go he says.
I run down to the courtyard.
Will you take me out of here? I am happy to sit on a folding seat.
Another woman and man approached and asked as well.
The driver seems nervous but agrees.
How to get out of here he asks as the vehicle is further crowed around.
We need go down that hill I say.
Down the very steep hill newly hot topped.
There are infected following us through the trees.
I wake.
