redisreddish's mess of dreams is still messy

I don't know exactly how this one started, but I think it was with a little boy stealing something from a house and running away with it. It was some kind of small metal box with orange corners, and when he opened it a swarm of... pixels came out? That's what they looked like--thousands and thousands of little silver pixels. They started destroying everything in sight. It was like they consumed the space itself, leaving a black void. The boy ran away and the pixels went on eating up the landscape.

Then the scene switched to me, my mom, and my two little sisters in the middle of a big city. Some of the buildings were already half gone. People were running everywhere, but most of them weren't fast enough to get away from the swarm of little squares and they were also consumed. Apparently there were some places scattered around the city where the pixels couldn't go, however, so everyone was trying to find those safe havens to hide in. Somehow I knew where one was. We headed out through the streets, avoiding the pixel swarms and looking for a sewer grate, which I knew would lead to one of the safe places. We found one and I jumped down into it. It looked more like a dungeon than a sewer inside.

"Stay here, I'll find the way," I told my mom and sisters. They hid in a little recess in one of the stone walls and I set off to find a pixel-free area. But they were destroying things down there, too, so sometimes I had to take detours to avoid getting killed. Eventually I found the safe place, a classroom sitting there in the middle of a tunnel. An old professor man was inside, talking to others who had found their way there. Next to the classroom was a ladder that led up to a trap door. That opened up to the inside of a Wal-Mart. Most of it had been eaten up by the pixels, but a small area around the trap door was untouched.

I had found the safe place, but now I had to get back to my my mom and sisters, and then remember the way back to here again. Easier said than done. After wandering around for a few minutes I found them, but I had no idea how to get back. So we wandered around together. My little sisters wouldn't be quiet, so we had to stop frequently to shush them. Finally the classroom came into sight. But as we ran towards it, a swarm of the pixels came up behind us. It was close, but we made it. I spent the rest of the dream helping people from the Wal-Mart get to the room.
