Last night I dreamed I was approached by a stranger.
The stranger tells me an epidemic is spreading. People start becoming paranoid, aggresive, and then turning into nigh-invulnerable monsters. The only way to be immune to the epidemic is by wearing gloves. And the only weapon that can hurt the monsters is an ordinary house key. (I guess Keyblades were out of stock.)
The stranger tells me that the epidemic will hit a sports gear store in 15 minutes. I go there to head off the monsters. Then, with 5 minutes left before they hit, I realize I no longer have the key.
I look everywhere in the store. I even try to buy a new key from them. With one minute left, no defense against the monsters, and a mysterious black van just pulling up outside. I panic.
I get in my car, an leave. At a stoplight, I start crying, ashamed that I abandoned my duty and left people to die. I remember the old "Chosen One" trope, and ask myself if you can really put that much responsibility on one person.
At this point, I hear a police alert, saying a textbook version of the epidemic is going on at my school. Detirmed, I drive there, and create a barricade in the school's computer lab. This is right next to the band room, and I can hear them practicing.
Some kids try to get into the lab. After checking them for symptoms of the epidemic, I let them in. I explain the situation to them, and they are skeptical. A kid I've never seen before gets on the computer.
At this point, the band stops playing.
I interpret this as a musical spoiler* and threaten the kid to get away from the computer. (I should note that no one in the room is wearing gloves, including me.) The kid calmly enters a chat room. Apparently, he's one of several people who have been watching the spread of the epidemic. These people all confirm that the epidemic has stopped.
Then another kid takes out a gun and kills everyone. Including me.
On a lighter note, the night before I dreamed I battled supervillain Ronald reagan for the fate of Disneyworld.
Reagan: Join me, my son.
Me: Sorry, I'd rather be a supernova!
And then I won. By exploding.
