Bodies

Date: 10/15/2019

Im visiting an amusement park with friends for the last day of school. There’s a ride called “the biker” that everyone is riding, but I’m too afraid. Turns out im right to be afraid. Once the ride starts, with some of my friends on it, it spins too fucking fast and at the right angle so that your body parts start to detach, starting with the heads. Everyone continues to ride it, and theres blood and limbs and intenstines everywhere, and im covered in it all. I notice the employees starting to all head over, and i realize they’re cannibals. I need to get out of there, so i run, but end up in the basement at a party. Ive given my old english teacher a copy of my book, but she’s making a joke out of it. So is laura. Im trying hard not to cry, so i go out to find a job to distract myself. I try to work at a shipping place and see that shannyn works here too. While im working, a body falls from the rafters, and when i turn to look, there’s someone mutilated and crushed against some of the wooden pallets. Shannyn flips him over and his face has been crushed inward, but i know its her boyfriend. I run. I end up in target, but im being chased by the cannibals. They dont look right, though. I seen that they’ve used the skin from their victims back to cover their faces so they’re smooth and empty. I run home. My family is in the middle of an ancient ritual with the neighbors. We’re seeing who has a baby boy first, so that he can be in control one day. The neighbors are going to win, so we know we have to kidnap someone. My family (my cousins) kidnap a baby and its babysitter, locking the girl in an empty room in our house and hanging her upside down with extension cords. We show the neighbors the new baby through the window, and my cousin says “your move.” I need to get out of here, but when i go downstairs, im in an incredibly hot kitchen with at least six stove tops that are all on fire. I try to turn them all off, but it isnt working, so i go down another flight of stairs. I made it to the exit, but im with another family, and i know i need to blend in. When i try to get to the door, i see the girl hung upside down trying to escape through the vent. Shes moaning and almost crying because someone has taken out her vocal cords almost completely. The family im with takes notice and recognizes that im not one of them. Before i can face the consequences, i tell myself, “i realize that this is a dream, and i am dreaming.” I wonder that since im lucid dreaming now, do i even really want to keep going? I decide i dont, and i wake up.
