Ep. 015 - Big Trouble In Little Dover

Two episodes two days in a road. Holy poop! And all of it from last night’s dream.

I find myself walking up the snow covered concrete stairs to the roof a single story building located in some sort of communications compound located in the mountains. Opposite us is a building with a large satellite dish on top covered in snow and to the other end of the building I’m at is a smaller dish that appears to be broken. Me and my partner agree that the hardware was sabotaged and needs to be repaired. Spread throughout the compound are small little devices that have a red glow to them. Thinking they might be explosives me and him get out to save our ass and call for help. After walking 200 or 300 feet away from the compound it explodes sending the dish to the ground and down the mountain along with other debris.
Now this part is tricky because I think instead of a rapid transition I woke up and this is the second half of the dream but I’m not 100% on it. I walk through a Wal-Mart and head to the back area where the photo lab is where I await a few packages. I ask for the help of an employee and he goes into the back. While I wait I notice that there are boxes all around the lab and when he reemerges I ask if these are all for me, and they are. Surprised as I was at that point some random guy comes out of nowhere and hands me two pizzas I apparently ordered, wanna say they were free but really if it’s in your dreams it has to be free right? So as I walk around, waiting, taking a bite from my first slice this small group of teens recognize me and come up to me saying that I was that guy from the commercial. Denying it out of embarrassment I say thank you and just kinda walk off. I then see a small little hatch open up above me, that’s attached to nothing so it just hovers in the air, and inside the hatch is Eminem. (I’ll give you a moment… good now?) He hands me something from the hatch that I think is a ring but I can’t quite remember much other than he had on a black skull cap and black zip-up hoodie. Once he leaves I move on to the car.
I’m driving in my sister’s car despite the fact that I’d just won the lottery (not sure why I know that but I think it came out when I discovered the box castle) and I head down to Store 24 (I refuse to call it Tedeschi, Store 24 is easier) located in town. But I know immediately that it’s not right because in it’s place instead is a mom & pop diner that also has a convenience store inside it. Outside the shop is a crazed guy waving around a broken bottle while a cop tries to talk him down. I tell my lady on the phone that I have to go and get out of the car to help. He at first tells me to stay back but then I become buddy buddy with him leading him inside the store to the already scared and concerned patrons. After a minute of him rambling on I grab a liquor bottle and hit him in the head while his back is turned, not only does it not break but he doesn’t even feel it. I hide the bottle when he turns back around and at this point this black girl migrates into the situation but doesn’t come to help but make things worse. I grab another bottle and hit her in the head, again with no breaking or feeling. Before I go in for another whack she turns around and catches with the bottle saying I better not try that shit again. So wisely so I crack her right in the forehead and she goes down but instead of the bottle breaking it folds at the label as if it’s made of plastic instead of glass. His attention goes to me so I crack him in the head, he goes down, and I proceed to hit them to keep them down while the glass still remains intact.
I rush outside to the officer telling him they’re down and he comes in to arrest them. As he does this I check to make sure everyone in the diner is safe. I step outside to get some air and not even five seconds after stepping outside this one girl, dressed like she’s going to a club or coming from the club (while it’s still light out) goes crazy on me by yelling and hitting my chest. I give her a couple of friendly warnings to just go home and by the third time I grab her by the arm which I pin to the small of her back while my other hand is at the top of her back leading her toward her car. I turn around to go back inside and go up to the counter saying to call an officer back to pick her up. I sit down and ask for a menu, to which the waiter gives me a shitty look along with the other patrons. The waiter then informs me that everyone blames me for all the violence that’s just happened, yet I was trying to quash the violence and I came in in the middle of it all. Offended and pissed off I go back outside where the same girl is trying to go at me again but I just blow past her and hope she’ll fuck off so I can get in my car. Then she calls over her boyfriend.
The boyfriend is a bit of a pretty boy, kinda jockish, but has on the creepiest goddamn armor I’ve ever seen and is wielding two swords with two more in the holster. So I quit reasoning with her and tell him to back off for fear of dying but he doesn’t. All I can do is duck whenever he swings his blade because I’m defenseless until I grab one of his swords and cut his hand, which backfires because then the wound opens up and like in “The Thing” this weird head inside the wound grows and tries to pull me in but luckily closes before that happens. We then fight for roughly another minute before the boyfriend stops because his lady is criticizing him and he gets bothered by it. Then he gets depressed because he’s not getting treated the way he wants nor is he getting the Ferrari she promised him. After a couple minutes later they start to go towards the diner and I stop them by offering to buy him a Ferrari Modena for not killing me and getting him away from her. Sadly I woke up before he made his decision. Whatever though I made it out though. Next post is a sketch I did of the armor in question.
