My dream yesterday night only lasted ten minutes.
It has got to be the best ten minutes I've had for a long long time.
Course when I woke up I was severely dissapointed with my hopes up wayy through the roof.
Ritchie and I were assigned on a recon mission to rescue the whole family whow ere stuck on a remote island that was supposedly (hostile territory).
For some readon my brain already had assumed that the whole world was in turmoil and some country was on a rampage to take over the world.
But this tiny island no bigger than the size of a few suburbs put together was some place no one would even consider taking time and money to take over since no one lived there!
Now imagine dropping from an Australian Seahawk fourty feet above the shore to find nothing but empty glistening beaches and dense forest bordering the beaches.
Silence came about as the helicopter cut it's way through the wind back to base.
Now, since it was flagged as hostile territory. Me and ritchie were definitely SAS.
Which was weird seeming as we looked more like movie actors in camo paint and army gear (the ones that require stunt doubles)
Yes, big guns. Yes cool gadgets.
Now, we searched the whole island to find not one living soul.
Being little sissies, me and ritchie were absolutely crushed.
Now from crossing the seas in the seahawk till now, it was a "silent movie."
I guess my brain just made sense of it all.
The whole interesting bits were seriously as long as movies would last for.
At least an hour...all compacted into ten minutes....ahhh how amazing the human brain is. This dream is going to be at least three parts long =S
I'm writing this in little parts because I'll get bored and if I don't then i'll just forget sooner or later. Right now it's as vivid as a horse kicking you in the balls.
Anyway, it starts off with me and Ritchie searching the whole island to find no one person in sight.
Through dense rainforest, beaches, open grasslands.
There was nothing. And as the equatorial sun came down on us, so did the rain. Seeming as it was a rainforest, we found a limestone cave big enough to fit the 307 bus to Mitcham or the city (Queen Street). Anyway thats beside the point.
We tried to radio in HQ but no one answered, and for SOME OBSCURE REASON, we decided that the world was taken over by whatever country with the huge balls to do it. I'm thinking ethiopia.
because we decided the world was gone, we chucked away our radios!
How convenient!
Because this story is just revolved around our assumption that the world is in flames!
Ritchie and I started to plan different strategies to find out whether our family had crossed over to a different island since it was only a kilometer or two swim away from different islands in the archipelago.
The closest island was only a hundred meters away, but it was only sand and two palm trees.
Anyway, we had our ration dinners and went to sleep.
STOPS HERE! I'm gnna put this into proper writing I just need something to remind me in the following days.
