Dreaming of the Zombie Apocalypse

I’ve had weird dreams in the past. I’ve had those off the wall, lets never speak of them again dreams. Last night I had one of the strangest and most detailed ones I’ve had in awhile. I dreamt about surviving the Zombie Apocalypse with my friends. Well, some of my friends.

The scene began in Toronto (obviously.) With Bryan Comyn’s pounding at Bryan and I’s front door. It took us a moment to realize that he had made it into the building without security. And better than that, on him he had a rifle, a shot gun and a pick axe. Since it is my dream, I got the shotgun. He informs us that we need to go, now and the subway tunnels will be the best way to get out of the city. There’s a shotgun in my hand. I don’t need to ask why. I know that after years of preparation it is here.

In the beginning of our journey through the subway system, I think Bryan Comyn’s might be on to something. Until we saw them. Packs of **runners traveling the railway lines. I about killed Bryan Comyn’s then and there, throwing him to the runners so Bryan and I could escape. He’d make a good meal, eh?

The three of us bolt for the exit, the runners almost catching up to us on the stairs. Due to my height, I was lagging behind the two Sasquatches. Bryan Comyn’s informed Bryan that I was just a woman and he should throw me to the runners. Again, I almost killed Bryan Comyn’s. Instead, as I figured if we ran out of food we’d just eat him and survive, I ran that much faster.

(Because this was a dream…) When we made it up the stairs we were in Peterborough. The town had been ravaged and there were zombies everywhere. We found survivors holed up in Mind Over Matter. As well as the tales of what happened to our friends. Toby had found and stolen a tank in order to get Teegan and Sue out of the house and get them to safety. He tried to retrieve Saviour and Signy as well but Saviour had taken his life after killing Signy. He found Dave Jones and Marjolaine along with Zeeg and Ben, all armed with shot guns making their way downtown and corralled them into Mind Over Matter with Jayson, Ryan (the tattoo artist), John-Mark (Carl believed him to be a reliable food source in a time of need) and Carl.

Between the gathering of friends we heard horror stories of things that had happened to our other friends. Paul and Jana were holed up inside their apartment in Toronto with Drake. Doing well but barricaded. Jill came home from work with the virus and turned rather quickly before there was suspicion of there being a Zombie apocalypse. Toby told us that by the looks of it, she had made Doug a meal.

Greg, Kevin and Karen were barricaded inside Kevin’s home, apparently they were defending it quite well with their kung-fu. Chuck Norris would’ve been proud.

Once the stories were told we all piled in to the tank, wanting to find out what had become of the Ottawa folks and knowing that Allison’s home may be the best bet for our survival.

On our way to Ottawa we saw a very peculiar sight. A man with a chain saw, running at full speed towards a group of runners and cutting them all down before turning around and walking back in the direction of Ottawa. “It’s Johnni!” I exclaim and the tank comes to a halt.

Again, because it is a dream as soon as we climb out of the tank to gather up Johnni we’re in Allison’s driveway. Her house is boarded up and has bits of Doug’s Volkswagon over the windows. Other than the boardings, her house looks serene and undisturbed. She very quickly opens the door for us and welcomes us in with open arms.

From Allison, Amelia, Doug and Kim, we hear of the demise of Sara and Ira, Rob, Nick and many others. But we realize something, we’ve made it this far. And in the home of Allison, we survive the entire uprising. Even Zombies know not to fuck with a Force of Nature.

**This was the best dream ever. **
