Yep strap on…

*Disclaimer these are the dreams of an unstable young man with possible heads problems they are not to be taken as reality*

Dream 08

As I realized that I had thoughts, the bright sun shinned on me making me look around me and into my surroundings, while blocking the sun with my left hand. Noting that I was on a road, a highway to be precise, the types you see at the beginning or the end of a movie I tried to see the end of it but nothing, just the endless horizon with a highway to nowhere and the blur in the air that you see on really hot days.

So like a sane human being that I totally am, note that my brain is notably slower than usual and there is only one voice narrating my thoughts….weird that needed clarification I start to think why that would need to be made clear, I am interrupted by a slight hum, I wasn't sure what was humming but as I turned to look I saw a deep green Jeep almost military like but it was not armored just wide and without a roof. I lifted my hand like a hitch hiker maybe they could give me a ride? I was thinking of my current situation as the jeep slowed to a crawl and stopped in front of me.

"Where you headed" The driver stated not asked

I cannot remember for the life of me how his voice sounded but The driver asked me and I "heard".

"I don't know" I replied my voice cracked as if parched.

Now looking at the driver more closely I took in his features, he seemed…. Toned yes Toned as if he worked out regularly but was not particularly large. He had solid hazel eyes that pierced through just making him seem serious almost all the time. His skin tone a bit darker than mine setting into a nice caramel. Next to him sat a pretty lady, with pretty brown eyes and….. her hair as if changing to her preferences grew into a mane of blonde hair? I could have sworn she had pixie short black hair but…. Forget it. She seemed flexible even at a glance, she looked able as a cat yet fiercer while being friendly all the same.

"Well If you do not know where you going would you like a ride to the next oasis they say the sun drop is beutIFuL this week" the driver settled into a smile but only with his eyes as he replied to me. The way his voice just marbled messes with my head.

"You should definitely come we have snacks and a couple of beers if you are thirsty" the pretty lady persuaded and I listened

"If you guys don't mind I would appreciate that, certainly beats staying out in the sun" I reply graciously.

The pretty lady hopped of the car and opened the back door of the Jeep letting me see the inside of the vehicle and I hopped in sitting down the perfectly average seats I did even noticed if they were uncomfortable or comfortable, just in between lik-

"So I didn't catch your name?" The pretty lady asked in a bubbly manor

"My names $#aniel, what yours?" I asked back

"Well nice of you to ask but Lady will do for now, and this hunk of a man is named Jack since to meet you Niel" Niel? I ask myself back? Why am I thinking like this, usually R*$%+ would think for me so this is getting weird, setting my mental instability aside why the nickname? And why the last part of the mane usually one would use the first part no?

"Well it's nice to meet you guys I guess but why are you around these parts, they seem pretty abandoned?"

"We are on vacation silly why else would we be around *(#)@' other than the sun drop?" That again, what does she mean by sundrop, perhaps sundown? Why say it that way?

Jack jumped in "we are almost there" where? I found myself asking. I looked out the window, see the thing about this new place is that it is weirdly perceptive of time it felt like we only talked for a few seconds yet it was almost sundown the sky being orange and all, or did I pause that long between sentences?

As we finished that thought the jeep stoped right by the sand which had sneakily replaced the road and instead of the dry soil surrounding the gravely road now we had Trees? Growing out of sand? Now I'm not botanical expert but is that not impossible?

As Jack and Lady got of the jeep and on loaded the mini cooler I also stepped out and stretched noticing I towered over Jack by around 2 to 3 inches? I still don't understand how people eyeball distance like that and now that we are on that thought why did get on a car with strangers? And why are we sitting in the beach like old friends staring at the sun. how are starring at the sun? As we contemplated how the world worked a migraine started to grow and our natural reaction to those is sleep, we passed out on the blanket…..

As the screeching halt of a semi stopped across the "parking lot" I rose to awakening. Fight or flight responses making me reach for my knife, wait what knife? The red head got of the truck and started approaching us making jack tense up for reasons unknown, Lady looked wary, and despite me knowing her for less than a day I know that she does not make that face easily, making me realize that something was very wrong and I was in the middle of it unaware.

"What bring yer kind this far out? Especially this deep in our territory?" One of the red heads that came out the truck spoke out in spite? More like disdain or perhaps a mix of both.

The more attractive of the red heads with a hair pin the shape of a moon spoke and for the first time today my thoughts cleared. It was almost like cleaning my glasses.

In a southern accent that made my knees buckle(not literally) she stated rightfully, "You folks will head out before our boys come morning and notice you still 'ere or you will pay the consequences" I was dazzled hell maybe even charmed, the girl made me blush like I was a middle schooler staring at his crush go down the hallway. Like I was staring at the moon and I was the ocean, she pulled me and it was about time I started to pull as well, sadly before I even started to embarrass myself Jack took heed of the conversation ending my early dreams of starting a family with this stunner.

"We will be out of your hair after the sun drop, you won't even take notice of our presence right after. Right Lady?"

"Course jack we always keep our promises" something was not right here I noted, nothing was right yet once again before I processed that I was in danger, the entitled one of the twins decided this party of five needed less members and reached for a gun that I did not even see on her body before now and tried to shoot Lady. Chaos unfolded.

This was surely how it ended my fogged mind, yet the curtain with that familiar dim shade blocking our mind and thoughts prevailed

K is in charge of anything violent

R is in charge of the monologue

D is in charge of social interactions

So why on gods earth am I still in charge there is a small issue like a shoot out and I'm still here!!

Lady was shot yet Jack got her out of the way in time so it was nearly a grace

The entitled twin was tackled by the beutIFuL one and jack returned fire hurting HEr

And I am still standing watching as more trucks pull into the parking lot the trees grow and the sky darkens one last time REDEMPTION yes Redemption is what they all need so let's -kill- them all in an attempt to save them that should do it.

Jack not noticing my failing psychosis asked me if I would be fine holding them off while he got lady back to the car. I slowly nodded. It started just as the SUN dropped I moved knife in my left and it felt just right, longer than a kitchen knife but not long enough to be a short sword, with gauntlet in my right I dashed through the woods five targets the first one did not expect me so with a punch to the jaw and a stab right below the armpit I move to the next one this one saw me coming raising his rifle right above his shoulder ready to fire. I ducked and weaved just to rise into an uppercut straight into his ribs making him stumble and become my shield for a mere second his brothers mistaking him for me as I shanked him in between the 3rd rib and him getting shot in the back by his mates granted me he was down, I moved to the next tree and a bulled grazed my arm as I neared the next one who I slashed at to scare him and it worked making him fall back as I drove right after him plunging my blade in his stomach covered by the trees I raised my knife and pounced again like it was personal two more times before I had to move since they had line of sight straight to me. In a attempt to keep my life I rolled onto my feet and RAN into the next one, her hair tied in a bun was noted as I kicked sand up, only to body slam her with my shoulder and punch her in the cheek and digging my thumb into her eye, my left did not falter as I cut her hair and threw it at the last guy who was aiming right at me…

And *BANG* I get hit near my shoulder so knowing that could be bad so I rushed him to finish him off but jack saves the day by killing him off, double tapping him just to make sure.

As the adrenaline wears off and I start taking in the pain I grunt in a plea to help too busy hurting than to bother with commentary wE lean on a tree trying to not fall knowing that if wE did wE would not stand up again.

"You good?"

Jack tries to approach in a slow manor

"Hmrgh" I grunt back

As Jack helped me move back to the car I noticed the corpses of more men and women and in a sarcastically judged way I state

"Nice vacation?"

Jack only rolled his eyes as he dropped me off at the car, seriously that time jumbo mombo is messing with my head and right as I looked up and saw the most beutIFuL moon I fell into slumber
