Escape

Date: 11/13/2016

(suppose to be an add on to the last dream but never clicked into place) I was in the game OUTLAST except this was real life and so food and rest were still priorities. I was spotted by one of those "things" human experiments I should call them, and they began to run after me. as I was sprinting I bumped into a group of people, some of which were my friends. They wanted my help in surviving and made me the "team leader" even though I told them I was just one of them. They said "yes but you've been surviving ALONE for this long you must have some decent skill" so I agreed. We were trying to fish for food and find a hidden place to rest when we found a place that looked promising, like an "out of borders" section in the video game. A place where the monsters could see you but the computer doesn't recognize you in the game and can't harm you. We stayed there for the night. The next day the group still was having too much trouble fishing so they wanted to send me out to go look for a market to get some real food. I asked why everyone thought I should do it since if I leave this little area I would be fair game for the human experiments to rip me apart and eat me. Again the excuse was "we can barely survive as a group and you'd been surviving alone for days..." to which I replied "how about we all go as one big group" the group wasn't fond of that idea and said "but if we get caught wouldn't you rather die alone than have us all die with you?". I couldn't argue with that so I set off. I was just walking when suddenly scary music was all I could hear. I recognized this music as the chase music from OUTLAST and I knew I was being chased all of a sudden. I thought "dammit one of those "things" must've seen me.. but where is it?" I looked all around in a 360° turn and I couldn't see it so I kept walking even though the music was getting faster and faster. I knew I was going to die but if I couldn't see the enemy.. then whats the use in running. Eventually I saw the "thing" and SPRINTED full out to the nearest building where I could hide. It turned out to be my own house. The house was pitch black inside besides a few barely visible outlines of furniture. This didn't surprise me since throughout all this time even though it was daytime the sky was black. It hadn't had an effect on how the earth usually looked besides it seemed like it was stormy, however if you were to look up there would be no clouds, just, black. Inside the house I hid inside a closet. My heart was beating so fast I feared it was audible to anyone in the room. As I was waiting I found a hand held cam corder, just like the one the main character has in OUTLAST. Surely enough it was equipped with battery draining "night vision" mode which I tried and was extremely helpful. I was looking out through the crack between the door and the wall with night vision on while hiding in this closet when one of the human experiments suddenly popped up and scared the hell out of me. In the game if you've been discovered you can't fight, only run. So I tried to run but he caught me. I was prepared to die until what sounded like a group of people scared it off with torches. I knew it wasn't my friends because they wouldn't save me like that so I looked over and it was a group of adults with a woman as their leader. she didn't look too friendly. She had on a fake smile and her group of people behind her were all just looking at me as if I had done something wrong. They told me they lived here in this falling apart house. Floor boards were torn up, the paint was non existent if not chipping, and I could see if you were to walk around barefoot you'd get like three splinters per step. They said since they saved me it was my duty to live here with them. I said "great sure thank you!" but there was a catch. You had to stay there forever. I was kinda freaked out but I didn't want to let them know in case the human experiments came back and I was defenseless, so I agreed. It turned out that all the people living here were also saved by this woman. They all wanted out but couldn't because of her rule. I was wandering around the house and I saw that there must've been a thousand people here in small groups of three or four, spread out everywhere in the seeming to be never ending house and laughing as if everything was great.. Upon one of the groups I spotted my mother. I ran up to her and she couldn't believe it was me and was so happy I was here. I pulled her away from the group and told her we had to get out of here, I had a group of people waiting for me and this place could cave in at any moment. She agreed she wanted to leave but was very confident it wasn't possible. I told her I'd come up with a plan to escape the house. There was no security behind the house it seemed so I thought we would find an unguarded exit and make a run for it. It had been a few days but I had come up with a plan. I had been observing the dark house very closely. Which rooms people were in at what times, which windows were cemented shut and which seemed like they would open... I had found a room that looked like a combination of my mothers room and the TV room that for some reason no one liked to hang out in that had a window that we could jump out of. I waited till the dead of night and I told my mother the plan. She wasn't excited about it but agreed to come with me to the window to see for herself. We snuck into the room and I quietly opened the window. My mother noted there was a screen, which I quickly tore out from a small piece that wasn't secure. She said we wouldn't make the jump since it was on the upper level of the house, but I told her to jump onto the very thick raining of the wooden patio. The railing was a thick piece of wood that surrounded the house like an old southern house. She said it wouldn't work. I didn't listen and said its the only way. She also noted that she probably wouldn't fit through the window. I hadn't thought of that before but I now saw she was right. I told her I would jump out, and wait by the front door while she, from the inside of the house, would make her way to the door and wait for me to open it. When I jumped out the railing snapped and I hit the ground hard. I felt like my back was in a million pieces, and I thought about how stupid I had been for thinking the railing would hold on this structure. By the time I got up my mother was hanging on the ledge of the window by her finger tips and about to let go. I couldn't yell not to since that would alert someone that I was outside so I just watched her fall. She got up no problem which made me annoyed cause I fell hard why didn't she? But I was just glad we got out. The sky was still black but the sun was rising and the light began to shine on the yellow grass in the yard. We were about to run when the front door FLEW open and the lady who obviously ran the house said to a tall man standing next to her "find.... them..." The grass was tall so I grabbed my mother and hit the deck. They were basically standing right over us but couldn't see us. The woman sent out the entire house to look for us. In the yard, behind the house.. but everyone was too distracted by how they were outside to even look for us. The woman said they were allowed to frolic for ten minutes but afterwards they had to focus. I said to my mother "okay, while they are frolicking we run there are so many people out here hopefully they don't notice us". Spencer from Icarly was among the people and noticed us just before we were out of sight. I thought my mother was right behind me as I kept running. I heard Spencer start talking to someone as if he got distracted and forgot we were getting away. I crossed a wooden bridge over a swampy area and spotted a motorcycle. I realized my mother wasn't behind me.
