Dream
My family and some family friends had rented a vacation house and we were all having a fun talent show. I was in charge of playing the music from my phone for everyone’s talent acts, and my friend was doing a really cool performance, but my younger brother kept interrupting and trying to steal the spotlight. I noticed that we were all younger than we currently are, my brother being a child and myself a teenager. I told my brother he was being rude and to let my friend finish his act, but my friend decided he was done and to let the next person go. I was trying to look up music for the next act, but suddenly my music app stopped working and was only displaying a government alert message. I tried to switch to a different app to see if that would work, but to my horror, all it was playing was video after video of parents giving their children merciful deaths. I began to freak out internally, but was able to calmly ask if anyone else’s phone was experiencing the same issues. Everyone took out their phones and what was happening on mine was true for every other phone in the house. At this point people were beginning to panic, and I suggested we look outside to see if the people out there were also panicking. The people outside looked like the were oblivious at first, and then slowly, one by one, they all began to notice the disturbing messages, too. Everyone in the house began panicking again, and some of us kids went out to the barn to try and come up with ideas of what we should do.
As we were in the barn brainstorming, loud trucks approached and people outside began screaming. Some women and girls all ran into the barn, many of them missing their shirts, and some of my friends began to hide. I ran out the back door of the barn and across the field as fast as I could. I came to a creek and had the idea to walk upstream in the water, so my scent would be washed away in the event that dogs were used to try and find me. Eventually I came to a house that had a couple of horses outside. I initially was going to steal a horse to get away faster, but ultimately decided against it because a horse would be easier to spot that I would if I were on foot. I tried to sneak into the house to steal some supplies, but realized the people living there were in the side of the government and were holding people prisoner to turn in to the authorities. I tried to hide from them under the porch with some others that had escaped. Suddenly, I heard a terrible growling noise, and the other people I was hiding with under the porch became terrified. I noticed a broken piece of plywood, and attempted to hide beneath it. Whatever animal was making the growling noise found us, but I couldn’t see it from my hiding place. I listened in fear as the others j had been hiding with were ripped apart. The creature attacking us eventually came and was standing on the plywood I was hiding beneath, trying to rip through it to get to me. That’s when I woke up.
