apt-get's journal


I was in a library, and stumbled upon a comic book. I think it was "WorldPataWorldPon" or something like that? Anyway, I got sucked into its world. We were four young siblings playing outside, when we stumbled upon a flying saucer owned by a millionaire. It didn't seem to be able to fly, rather it was just a ground base. Anyway, we tried to get in but got chased away, and the mechanism for the entry ramp (a pretty steep ramp that is either equipped with grip bars or becomes ultra-smooth and impossible to climb) was activated. Nevertheless, we managed to climb again, and pushed the guy off when he opened the door to try and scare us off.

The interior was pretty retro-futuristic. There was a freezer in the corner of the room, which contained a bunch of stereotypical expensive food, but hidden beneath all that was some frozen blue jelly that apparently was the key to the book's secret. Grabbing it and running away from the saucer before authorities could come in, I got into a semi-lucid runaway parkour sequence which was honestly pretty cool in-dream.

Sometime after, the dream changed. I was in some sort of obscure garden-maze as a bipedal crocodile, and was being pursued by a hunter. Getting into a pool at some point, I somehow acquired a rifle, and the dream turned into a nerve-wracking battle where I'd emerge to the surface and try to get a shot in before him.

Once I finally managed to shoot him dead, I realized I had killed another man (I was human again at this point), and thus had to run away while cleaning up evidence. I stole all of his weapons and clothes before throwing him into the pool, then ran away.

The area I ended up in was somewhat like my hometown, except it all seemed more menacing and the geography was a lot steeper. Everywhere I went, I had this overwhelming feeling that someone would denounce me due to being suspicious. In the end, I was feeling so bad that I dumped everything I had acquired beneath a truck and went home.
