Mash-Up Story

Date: 10/4/2018

The story starts on the top level of my parent's house. Myself, Mark, and Kyle are standing in the hallway looking at a fair sized aquarium that Kyle bought (where the closet is) and a single minnow-fish inside that's supposed to be a master of cleaning water. There's inaudible conversation then Kyle asks if we should raise the water levels, to which Mark and I agree. Now the whole upstairs is intentionally flooded (with about a foot of air between the water and ceiling) like a human fish-tank. I peer into my room and see small, distant versions of Kobe, LeBron, Dr. J, and other legends playing basketball but with no court and no real boundaries, just floating hoops. Skip forward and I'm walking down a hospital hallway when a worker (who may or may not look familiar) asks for assistance in a room. I walk in and a large lady with blacked out eyes is standing on the far side. A ceiling tile is knocked out, black garbage bags are everywhere, and the room is a mess. The worker approaches her saying something like "I'm not sure you're supposed to be in here... It seems like you're an escaped prisoner" which doesn't sit well with her. The worker walks behind me and the lady starts to follow but I stand like a wall and she bumps into my chest, which gives her a sign of how I'm gonna deal with her. In an instant she becomes a HUGE green snake trying to bite either of us and a struggle ensues! For some reason, I know I could handle a bite but not the worker. After a frantic episode, we get her pinned which forces her back to her human form and we await security but, when they arrive, my character becomes Harry Potter and I begin to view in third person. Harry takes off down the hall and is stopped by security but some adults (His parents?) yell at security to let him go. The man says "he's innocent, I took him for a walk" and shortly MY parents run up and recite the exact same line. I become myself again and start talking with the worker or Harry who says "I knew there was something [fishy/off]... That wasn't handled right from the get-go." So I stop outside the room and turn back time. I walk through the room shortly after security who is trying to calm the woman but her eyes are already partial blackout. Security disappears so it's just her and I, face-to-face. She transforms and attacks simultaneously but only becomes a small snake (think Gardner snake) this time. She latched on to my right hand which drew some concern but I knew I'd be unaffected. I detach her from my hand and kink her like a hose to control her. I attempt to drown her in the sink but she's resilient. After she struggles less, I let go and step away from the sink into the hallway (which is the top floor of my parents' house) when she strikes again! This time I flood the sink (in the hallway) and hold her in the water until blood starts coming out. There's a massive overflow of water and blood so I contain it with my magic, lift it high and send it through the empty aquarium for the amazing fish-minnow to filter. Water levels return, Kyle and Mark return and talk about the fish, and I swim up to the glass with the fish looking directly at me and there was unspoken appreciation. I'm feeling slightly claustrophobic so I go up for air a couple times (although it's a dream so...) and when I descend a final time, I look back into my room and still see the NBA Legends playing basketball.
