Picture this:
The sun is setting, almost down, almost dark. It's really pretty. You never really noticed how nice it is. You're driving down your street. The most common street you know, maybe one that's just a few blocks away from your home. You pass a field (if there is no field by your home, then work with me) and see some kids playing soccer, others playing basketball. You know some of them; some you like, some you don't. You get hungry and there are a few options for fast food. You choose Sonic. Maybe you want some cheese sticks or maybe you just like Sonic because it reminds you of Sonic the hedgehog and you like that little blue guy. Whatever it may be, you go to the Sonic drive-thru.
But wait.. it's closed. In any other occasion, you'd be like man whatever. But you stop and think "What the heck?" There are men in black suits outside of sonic and you recognize these suckas. They kind of look like, I take that back, they look exactly like the men in black. Hmm.. but whatevs, you're hungry, you're on a mission to find yourself some food. So you go to Subway, which is just up ahead. You're pulling into the parking lot when you notice the lights are off and it's also closed. So you're getting upset, you see some people near the entrance and drive closer to get a better look. You reverse as fast as you can when you see that they're army men. Army men in their uniform just all huddled around next to Subway. So now you're really like, "What the heck?"! As you try to jet an army guy stops you.
He asks you, "Excuse ma'am, what are you doing here?"
You reply, "I just wanted to get some food."
He says, "Ma'am, we almost attacked you just now. You need to leave. Now."
You're like what the.. and ask him.. "What's going on here. I just went to Sonic and there were some weird people. Are they with you? What are ya'll up to?"
He looks at you, stares, looks nervous and scared, turns away and leaves. Now you're like "Oh shit, something's going down and it's not right." So you go home. the food will have to wait and your tummy will have to just suck it up. So you drive home, along the way you see five people walking. Two of them are your little sisters, one of them is a close friend, one is a girl who you recognize from high school and some big dude. You somehow lose your vehicle and join them walking. You guys aren't very far from your place so you walk home. You tell them what happened and they're not really surprised, except your little sister. She's crying and freaking out. The girl from high school comforts her and tells her everything will be okay. but you to think to yourself, "Will it? What is going on?!"
You guys draw near to your house and by now the moon is fully out. It's a full moon, beautiful in the darkness. Like a house away from home, you notice something weird on the ground. You also notice your dog, a vicious little shihtzu named Oreo, is barking at what's on the ground. It's this weird shadowed drawing of some kind of pyramid shape pointing down at a little house. Now, all of you get freaked out. You try to keep your cool but your ready to cry/scream like a little girl. You immediately think of the movie 'Signs' but wait, could this be? Is this for reals? Is this a warning? I mean why else would those men in black look a likes and army men be here? In your town? Right?
You're inside your house now, finally. Inside there's a different feeling. Your mom is cooking like a mad woman. Making bar-b-q, fajitas, rice, beans, hotdogs, spaghetti; basically a feast. Confused but happy, you eat. I mean you were hungry after all. Your aunt is there. She's a hardcore Christian.
You ask her, "Luz, what's going on?"
She says, "I don't know but I'm about to start praying."
You haven't been the best Christian but you do believe in God. Scared to die soon with your sinful ways, you ask her if you can pray with her. She says yes.
You're now outside in your yard. You notice the dirt looks like it's been cropped. Oreo comes out (your vicious little shihtzu) but he's not alone. He comes out with another Oreo. They're twins? Whatevs, you don't question it. You go on your business. The air outside is different then before. By this time, people are freaking out and going home to their families. With fear that it might be the end of the world and all, they decide it's probably best if they're with loved ones. That big dude turns out to be your cousin Alex but he leaves. That random girl leaves. Your sisters are inside with your mom and aunt. You don't know where your brother and dad are but you hope they're okay. Your friend is outside with you for a while but then leaves. Now you're alone with your twin dogs. Being emo about death, you stare at Oreo and realize how awesome he is. As you get closer you finally think, "What the heck? Oreo doesn't have a twin.." So now you're kind of scared because you don't know who this dog is, or what it is.. Yeah you think it, is he one of them. And sure enough, just your luck, it is! He's some kind of spy machine. You scream and try to run but BOOM! It's all over. You wake up. It was just a dream, or was it..?
