City of Skeletons

Date: 12/30/2018

I was out on a flooded street with a girl, who was about 10 or so, and I think she was my daughter. We waded through as I looked cautiously into the murky water... I wasn’t a fan of this but she was having the time of her life. We got to this big intersection and all the sudden she just decided to run right out and join a group of people swimming together. I jumped because I saw headlights approaching, but then realized they were large white water rafts riding a stream of rapids that shot down the street. All the kids were having fun. I let them be, going further down the street. Time jumped, and I picked up the next day at some abandoned store. All the water was gone outside, just pretty wet. As I stepped outside, I found that the town was totally dead quiet. It began to drizzle rain, and I moved quicker - I need to get home! As I approached that big intersection from before, I saw a small old-fashioned buggy swerving and hitting things on the sidewalks. I approached cautiously and then when I looked down another street, I saw tons of old buggies swerving around. The whole town seemed to have gone mad. Nobody was really going anywhere, just driving in circles or swerving left and right as if trying to destroy as much as possible. That’s when I saw it, sending a chill down my spine. In the drivers seat of a car, a skeleton adorned with clothing and a top hat held the wheel. It looked back at me, grinning. Drivers, passengers, even passersby were all skeletons. I was the only living human around and suddenly I made this connection... I was the odd one here. Through the rest of the dream I had to work to convince everyone I was just a skeleton wearing a crazy costume. Somehow... they believed me.
