buggy

We were hanging out in this apartment I had been in before. It has been passed down from friend to friend. There was a really nice atrium, and cool steps inside. Sarah, unfortunately, had gotten way too skinny after she moved in here though.

I saw a really colorful caterpillar on the wall and you giggled. The rainbow colored caterpillar curled up to make a ball that looked like a little raspberry, each ball of color different. It pulsed and each bubble grew like a balloon, and as they grew each one came away from its body as if on an antennae. The balls of color swelled and bobbled around as they grew. More antennar grew from its body bearning little black flags. Each colored antennae bubble sloshed at the end of its appendage as they began bursting! sticky bug juice ran down the wall everywhere.

It was amusing until we realized that the juice contained thousands of tiny tiny wormlike babies. they were nearly translucent and resembled 1/4" long nematodes on speed. We tried to kill off the infestation with some alcohol. It didn't work, and we grabbed listerine, nail polish remover, anything we had on hand, but they just kept comong down the wall.

Soon there were longer ones as well, several inches. the waves of worms cascaded down the wall on to the floor where they began collecting all the dead exoskeletons of other bees wasps and tucans they found on the floor, organizing them into large grids of bodies. Grids were forming on most of the walls and parts of the floor before we had to leave. When the accumulated enough of a grouping they would animate the dead creatures and move their bodies into hiding.

bombs

we were all at my moms house when we saw the DHL planes in long lines crossing the area spraying some sort of chemicals. gross. we all covered our faces with our shirts, and tried to ignore the fact that the government had somehow allowed this to happen. the next wave of planes came by, and started dropping small shells, exploding on impact. one hit the neighbors. they were small explosives, and coming kind of slowly so we could jump out of the way if we were in the open space of the yard.

the next wave dropped heat seekers. i ran and some followed me into the next yard, and somehow we got away.

back at the house we saw the next round drop. these turned into robot spiders on impact and began dismantling parts of the house and the cars.

we saw the progression. testing newer bombs on us, one wave at a time. each one a different candy color, smooth, and tiny.

we retreated into the catacombs through the wine cellar. hopefully we could wait this out out with the others who were already down there.
