Echoes of Butterflies
This nightmare occured about 2 days ago, but I thought I’d just finish it off since I’d already written most of it down – and if I took any longer any silk-thin thread from it would have totally disappeared. Perhaps the moral of the story is really not to sleep to much, since I got this after I’d slept for 7 hours for the first time in a long, long time.
So it began as a sneaky return to our half completed future married-life house, and even though it wasn’t done and really wasn’t furnished that well either AND we didn’t have permission to enter the place we decided to have a large party there with many friends, some of whom I was not that familiar with but what the hell, yeah? Time to party and all that – and my family was invited too.
So most of the time was spent walking around the place, milling with people, rubbing shoulders and downing drinks when I walked into our huge walk-in toilet (cum place to chill and have drinks). At that point I realised the bathroom was kinda badly done, with one ledge being somewhat uneven, but then on closer inspection they did install a stopper wall that wasn’t obvious until a different angle. I’m not very good at drawing so I can’t quite explain to you, but just imagine a wall stopping (hence stopper wall) cum deceptively helping to ensure the place works well. Also somehow everybody decided to toss their old clothes into the toilet bowl since there were no pails, and clothes tend to get dirty during a party. If you’re wondering I was having a normal party, nobody was running about nude. Maybe this party had been going on for days, since I recall that it was quite a bit of my and Viv’s clothes. I had to pee in there anyway, so I did. (Didn’t pee myself in real life!) The whole time I was rather worried since we weren’t supposed to be there, and now the laundry all over the place meant that somehow we had to clean it up before the workers returned.
After much food and drinks, the sun was setting, so I went out with Viv to party the night away.
This part is a bit of a blur, but we were trying to get to this club. Over there there was strong police presence, but as we were trying to get in I saw one policeman take out 2 guns, and shot the 2 policemen on each side of him. The policeman then went into the club behind him, presumably to finish off people in that club, at which I shouted for Viv to follow me. I ran ahead, and kept shouting so that she’d know where I was.
Then we decided to go to this rather more ulu pub, which might be safer. On the way there we took a breather at a small park bench, but when we were there I saw a group of 3 men walking purposefully. The lead was holding knives. I quickly grabbed Viv and we dived against a wall so that he couldn’t see us unless he peered over the wall. Then he started throwing knives, hitting 3 people, then he demanded, “you, you and you, I want those knives back.” One of the boys who got hit by the knives got pierced right into the roof of his mouth. I pressed both of us against the wall until we felt it was time to go, at which we crawled to safety.
I seem to recall there was one more incident, involving more violence of some sort, but at any rate we reached the pub. By then Viv was dead tired from all that running and escaping, so we decided to just go back to the hotel to hide it out.
Then, in real life I needed to pee, and so I woke up.
