    1. Forth the black beacon!

      by , 07-09-2011 at 08:41 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      MOON MOTH

      I vibrate out of my body. I am surrounded by mirrors or clones of myself. I am a black furry mothman with sparse white spots. I have four arms and two legs. I feel aliens calling me with my antennae to the Moon. I decide to fly all the way there. I press the button on my energy belt, and a shield forms on me, then the witchblade, then my mech armor. My twelve clones connect with me, and we spin in circles like gears to form Metatron’s cube. Then we spin in all directions to form individual spheres. We become five dimensional, as we vibrate spinning to the moon. Surrounding matter is repelled behind, and attracted in front before being repelled again. And this is how we fly through space.... on waves of dark matter, baby.
      I see my many forms I have become in dreams in a line before and behind me like ghosts on this dark rainbow bridge. I move my entire formation in a path as we fly, making sharp angles, faster and faster, until we form a giant Metatron’s cube, then we roll forward, and bend space and time around us. We slip through space, forming a vaccum in front of us, and repelling behind. And this is how we travel faster than the speed of light. I see Selene’s face in the Moon, which becomes an alien goddess. I tumble out on to the Grey Moon, and all my clones come into me. I morph into Juargawn.
      “Why are we here?”
      “Because this is my true home. The Green Moon is your true home.”
      “Is this a dream, Selene?”
      “No.”
      I do a nose RC, and cough.
      “How is there atmosphere here?”
      “There is none where we are, but beneath the surface...”
      “How am I alive right now?”
      “It is my will.”
      “Maybe I am pinching my nose in real life.”
      “Maybe this is real life. Maybe it’s time to discard everything you ever thought you knew was true, and accept the reality of all. Maybe you hurt me when you talk like this,” she says looking away. I can tell she is about to cry. I am at a loss for words. She turns to me with sad fury in her eyes. I look at her beautiful big dark eyes, and her pale skin. I can see all the details, the texture of her skin... tears well up, and I see an eyelash fall into a tear as it rolls down her face. She blinks, and tears leap from her eyes. She balls a fist up in frustration. “I am tired of you doubting my existence. How could you? After everything we’ve been through? After all these lifetimes, and all these promises we made to each through eons to always find each other every single lifetime no matter what form we take? What is it going to take to get you to remember? What do I need to do to get you to believe there is love coming from this sentient being standing in front of you? You are my soulmate.”
      I can do nothing as tears roll down my feline face. She runs into my arms, and beats my chest weakly. I embrace her silently. She feels so vulnerable and weak. Not my partner who has saved me so many times in battle. Not the Moon goddess, the daughter of the Dream Warrior Master. She feels so very... human. I feel her skin, sinews, bones. I feel her hair on my face and chest. I feel her morph, and she grows bat wings. Becoming a vampire like creature, she bites my neck, and I morph into my Vampire Self.
      “I want to show you something,” she says, and we dive into the Moon.
      ***
      We are back on the surface of the Grey Moon. “To the Green Moon!” I shout exultantly. “To the Green Moon!” shouts Selene, laughing, and I open a portal to the Green Moon. The portal opens above the Temple of Nowhere, and we float down, glowing. People point at us as we descend. I see the Black Sun Beacon is beaming a dark rainbow bridge to Urth. Right now, it’s on Mexico. Hukif shows up. “Hey, Nomad, want to fight?”
      “Not right now, brother. I am am waiting for some dreamers.”
      “Ok. Good. I hope they outnumber us, then we can fight them together.”
      “Maybe,” I laugh.
      Three people come around the corner of the temple.
      “Hey, we were looking for you!” pichulick says. “I found these other two dreamers here... “ he looks down at his hands as his dream body becomes unstable.
      “Try spinning,” I say. He spins and disappears. “Doh!”
      He appears above my head and falls on me.
      “I came back to this dream! Re-enter win check!” he says, making a check mark motion. I do not recognize the other two dreamers. We walk to the corner of the Temple of Nothing, and Atras is sitting there, staring at earth. He looks like a pale blue archeopteryx-type creature, but also humanoid.
      “I hope it works I hope it works I hope it works...” I hear him chant.
      “This is a dream this is a dream this is a dream...” I chant.
      “This is a dream this is a dream this is a dream...” he says with me. He looks at his hands. “Pale bluish... bird hands with feathers... yeah, perfectly normal. No! Perfectly abnormal! This is a dream.” Atras stands up.
      “I remember my dreams,” I say to Atras.
      “Yes! Oh MY GOD HOW AM I GOING TO REMEMBER THIS?” Atras shouts.
      “Calm down. Breathe.” Atras does a nose pinch RC.
      “I am breathing nothing!” he shouts triumphantly. “You are real!” He runs to me, and rubs his forehead on mine, and kisses me on the nose. He runs around kissing everyone on the cheek as he grabs their faces, except Hukif who telekinetically repels him.
      Suddenly, about 300 dreamers tumble up the dark rainbow road, and float down on and all around the pyramid. They all have some dark energy dust on them, like moth dust... Ah, it’s from my wings. I create a giant ball of pomegranate juice floating in the air, and then divide it into smaller spheres, which I float out to all the dreamers.
      “YOU ARE ALL DREAMING!” I shout. “PLEASE REMAIN CALM. TAKE A DEEP BREATH. YOU ARE BREATHING NOTHING. THIS IS A DREAM!” Most of the dreamers disappear as they wake up. A few of them reappear a few seconds later as they re-enter. Some of the other ones begin wandering around touching things, eating fruits from the trees, drinking water from the streams. Other ones shout exultantly and fly off into space.
      There is a young man who I do not recognize. His language sounds Arabic, or some older language, such as Sanskrit. “I have found you. I have been watching you, and I feel everything is so true, just as you say. You see, I am a Sufi Knight. We are an ancient sacred order of Moon People, who guard the portals to other dimensions. We guard the way to the Inner Earth, or at least one way. The Templar Knights are nothing more than Sun Worshipers, well, on the surface. Their true god is evil, or Harm. They believe Harm is necessary to achieve their means. Evil, death, gives them power. So, Mr. Black Sun, what are you trying to say here?”
      I suddenly do not trust this man, and I grab him with astral tentacles, and fling him into the sky. “That is my brother!” Selene shouts at me.
      “MoSh?” No... not him.
      The Sufi Knight morphs into a Naga, a winged serpent and roars at me. I leap into the sky, and bite his neck, ripping him apart, and his jaws close around my throat... we die...
      We are before some type of counsel of gods. They give us instructions which I cannot translate into English. We nod, then bow on one knee. The gods send us back to where we just were. We merge in the wormhole, and come out above the Temple, a great winged jaguar serpent man. We are shimmering with every color. Energy pours out of us, and everything blooms. We de-merge, and fall to the ground slowly, our default selves.
      “What the fuck just happened, brother?” the Sufi Knight says to me.
      “I don’t know.”
      “I am just a dreamer from Pakistan. Well, now I live in Saudi Arabia, working for a rich oil king, but I found an ancient Sufi Master living in a cave near an oasis. He eats once every seven days, and is three hundred years old. Some call him the Dream Warrior Master.”
      “Is he Pan?”
      “He is his twinner on the Physical Earth.”
      “What does he do all day?”
      “Meditate.”
      “At night?”
      “He collects dates, insects, water, and feeds upon the birds and other creatures that visit the oasis.”
      “What happens if the oasis dries up?”
      “The oasis will not dry up. It connects to the Freshwater Ocean in the Labyrinthe.”
      Suddenly, everything blows my mind. “SHIT!” I exclaim, waking up. RC. FA. RC. FA. RC. FA. RC. FA. GODAMMIT. FA. RC. This happens hundreds of times over a few minutes. I get mad at the dream. I run in a vertical circle, and end up in The White Void. I see my first dream of Morpheus, the god of dreams... I am watching it...
      “I create everything you see here...” Morpheus says to my old dream self, as plants and trees spring out from around him as he walks. He looks at the current me, and grins. I finally wake up in my bed, and get up... but my bathroom is crawling with bright green fungus. I RC. Not a dream. I look in the mirror. I am a green and orange alien with no nose to speak of. Shit! How do I RC?
      A portal opens, and and arm reaches out and pulls me into another dream.
    2. The Cool Factor

      by , 07-06-2011 at 06:59 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      Brainwave: Delta, Deep Dream State

      I roll out of bed, and stand up. There are a circle of angels standing around me. They seem annoyed. “Dreamer, you violated-”
      I see they are all actually demons. I laugh. They are now more annoyed I saw through their guise. “Hello, henchmen!” I grin.
      “We are not your henchmen!” they pout.
      “Well, I am about to go on some awesome dream adventures. You can come if you want. Or you can wander around in your gay angel costumes.”
      “You’re gay.”
      “You’re gay-ER! Bye!” I open a portal to the Moon. One of the demons grabs my ankle, and I have trail of them going to the Moon. In the wormhole, the Wyrm looks at me curiously, and I just laugh. We land on the landing pad on the Temple of Nowhere. I become a demonic cat god.
      “Tonight, my brothers, we roll up on some dreamers, and make those mofos have nightmares. They want it, to become lucid.”
      “Oh, they will be lucid all right,” one demon says, and cracks his knuckles.
      “They will not forget any nightmare I give!” says another.
      “And, they will have no dream control. I love deceiving people!” says another.
      “Wait... you are the three main dream demons that tormented me as a child!”
      “Yes!” They grin.
      I roar, and instantly teleport all of us to The Battle Pyramid.
      I become my Demon Self, Deathgawn.

      I am nine feet tall, with skin like charcoal, and a black hole on my chest. I summon a flaming morning star, and crack it like a whip. I energize my energy shield that Selene gave me, but I form it into an armor instead of a sphere. I energize my boots. The Battle Pyramid increases in size by 1000 to accommodate my power. I energize my energy gauntlets. I pound one into the ground like a jackhammer, creating a mild earthquake. Dust fall on us, and the demons lose their footing.
      “You can’t power up before battle! This isn’t Dragon Ball Z!”
      They rush at me, but I just project my energy shield out from me, in a sphere, and they bounce off. My witchblade forms over my body. I float up off the ground, and magnetic mecharmor attaches to me. I summon a small iron shield, and the other armor forms over it.
      One of the demons teleports into my energy shield behind me. I grab him, and throw him forward as I shrink the shield, and it burns him like acid. He screams, and teleports to the other side.
      The other demons just look at me.
      I grow in size as I grow six arms more arms. I summon the Moonblade, the Budgie Sword, the Witchblade. Four more empty hands. Shotgun. Machine gun. Two more arms. These arms have dragon tattoos on them my baby dragon pets, Skyfire and Hydro. The dragons come to life, and rest on my shoulders. Jo, my astral pet, my war beast growls off my forearm and rests on my hand. In the other hand, I summon the Flaming Sword of the archangel, Michael. The winged angel helm appears on my head, and burns into my scalp.
      “You cannot wield the power of angels, brother!” the demons shout.
      The helm burns into my flesh, but I ignore the pain. Suddenly, I can see... I see with the eyes of angels. I have finally discovered the purpose of this helmet! to summon the sword of Michael, to see with Angel Sight. I see the demons now, glowing orange. I see demons crawling all over the inside of the pyramid. Thousands of them. Thousands pretending to be three. Me against an invisible demon army. I like these odds. I crack the morning star like a whip, and cold blue electric fire shoots out of the iron ball. I throw the giant Budgie Sword, and the parakeets which make up the sword become a flock of thousands, which of course the demons laugh at, until each parakeet becomes a tiny blue blade, spinning faster and faster, bouncing off the inside walls of the pyramids, slicing through their bodies. I throw the Moonblade, and it goes out and comes back to me like a boomerang. Moonlight slices through them like butter. I lay down fire with my machine gun. The bullets split into ten pieces right before they hit. Fuck yeah. Then, I realize the bullets are covered with infectious nanomachines. Even fuckier yeah! The demons rush at me, but I blow them away with my shotty, which is somehow cybernetic steampunk cyborg beast. My dragons fly off my shoulders, and float through the air, in lazy figure 8's, burning and shooting ice bullets through the demons. They leap up on the the dragons, but slip off like water off a duck’s back.
      Jo leaps into the fray, and bites demons on their throats, and whips them into the air like a terrier killing rats. Now there are four swarms of demons around each of us. I call my allies to me. I hit the Atom button on my belt, and the four of us shrink to microscopic size. I ride on Jo’s back, and one dragon lands on each arm. I merge with all three, so now I am an eight legged lion man dogdemon centaur beast with two dragon arms, one blue, one gold. My bat wings grow out of my back. I can hear the demons say, “Where did he go?” My energy, then witchblade, then mecha armor forms over me.
      I go back to regular size.
      “Shit! You are cheating!” they complain.
      I shoot my dragons at them. The dragons fly out and spin, shooting ice bullets and fire everywhere. I ride into the fray, and rip the demons bodies’ apart. Selene appears, and opens a myriad of portals. I multiply myself. One Nomad for each demon. I rip them all apart, and summon the Mjolnir. I smash them to bits with the Hammer of Thor, and pull the portals closer to the bits. There is a woman flying around with a vaccuum cleaner, sucking the rest up. Then I realize it is Stephanie, the Biodome AI, looking out for me. All the demons are gone.
      I sit down on the floor of the Battle Pyramid in exhaustion, then teleport back to the Temple. Sarnox comes out with pomegranate juice wine. I take a deep draught, then toss the goblet away. “Mahalo, brother.”
      Skyfire and Rainstorm/Hydro appear in front of me. They smile, and I make it rain on them. They fly to the horizon of the jungle canopy. Jo appears next to me, and I pet him as he purrs like tiny rumbling earthquake.
      “Uh, Sarnox?”
      “Yes, m’lord?”
      “Dude, don’t call me that.”
      “Isn’t it annoying?”
      “Yes.”
      “My apologies, Your Grace.”
      “Dude!”
      “What?”
      “What am I supposed to do next?”
      “Well, you were going to give nightmares-”
      “Oh right... boring...” I open a couple portals and toss some scary silvery bugs down the wormholes. “Ok, next?”
      “The beacon.”
      “The beacon is lit.”
      “No it’s not. You turned it off.”
      “Why did I do that?”
      “You said it wasn’t fair.”
      “I don’t care what I said! Turn it back on.”
      “You turn it on! You’re the god here.”
      “I am the god of Nothing!”
      “And we are in the Temple of Nothing, asshole!”
      “FINE!”
      I teleport to the top of the pyramid, and it opens up. I slam a golden staff into a contraption, and a beautiful gold and green light beams down to Urth.
      Sarnox teleports next to me.
      “Is this fair?” he says.
      “Well, dog, these kids are supposed to meet at this other pyramid on Earth, but they are probably going to end up here.”
      “Why?”
      “The Cool Factor.”
      “Explain.”
      “Well, the Temple of Nothing is pretty badass. When that Atras dude said for them to meet at a ziggurat, he may have had no idea that we fucking live here, dude! HAHAHAHA!”
      “So, he accidentally suggested for these people to-”
      I see dreamers flying up the beam of light. They land on the landing pad near us. There are eight of them. Five of which instantly disappear. They were vague anyway. I could tell they were losing the dream. Oh well.
      “See what you did!” Sarnox accuses. “They got confused because of your stupid beacon, and they came here instead, and woke up because they don’t know how to bilocate yet. DUDE.”
      “No, they are just learning. Just stop! There are three right here. Let’s talk to them. Hey guys, look at your hands. Stabilize the dream.”
      They all begin talking at once. By their language I can tell one is an American, one is French Canadian, and one is Eastern European. I turn on my Babelfish.
      The European guy disappears as he wakes up. The French Canadian dude says, “Ah, you are Nomad? You are the cat!” he laughs. “Cat and dog!” he says, pointing at Sarnox. The American guy says, “Hey, hey, it’s me, Atras. I made it! Is this the pyramid thing! Yes! Where are we? Who are you? Nomad? Is this aliens? Are we aliens? Holy shit! Are we on the Moon? Holy shit!”
      “Calm down, breathe. I turn them around, and show them the Land of Nod.
      The Canadian guy screams, “OH MARY OH JESUS!” in French and wakes up.
      I notice Atras dream body quavers for a second at this.
      “He’s okay, just be calm, and breathe.”
      “Okay, sir.”
      “Please don’t call me that.”
      Atras laughs. “This dream, is amazing.”
      “This is your dream," I tell Atras.
      “Wait, isn’t this your dream?”
      “This is just... dream.”
      “We are pure energy.”
      “Yes,” I say.
      “We don’t need air to breathe.”
      “No.”
      “We are invincible, aren’t we?” Atras says.
      “Yes.”
      He flies into the air, transforming into an angel consumed in orange flame.
      “I AM INVINCIBLE!” he shouts exultantly, and light beams of a thousand colors shoot out from his center. He laughs exuberantly, and disappears.
      “DUDE THAT WAS FUCKING COOL!” I shout, and turn to Sarnox as we HI-5.
    3. epic night of epic epicness

      by , 07-05-2011 at 07:21 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I float up out of my bed, and transform into Ganesh. Six arms grow out of my sides, and my face becomes lion and elephant as I grow a mane. I trumpet and roar. All the demons surrounding my bed bow to me. My fur turns panther black, and my eyes turn red. The demons toss plumeria flowers, the flowers of the dead, to me.
      I float outside to the door, where my spaceship, Future’s Hope is waiting for me. My glistening silvery ship. I step in, and the AI is playing some epic rock... Something like Pyramid Song from Radiohead. No, this is the song.
      DJ Hope, the AI of my ship asks me where I’d like to go tonight. I sit down in the pilot’s seat, and place large goggles over my face. I feel part of my energy split off... My astral body separates from my dream body, and ....

      Astral Plane
      My astral body floats through the side of the ship. I become aware of astral demons around me. They look like metal androids with many bladed arms. I mindfuck them, and bend them to my will. Now, you are my bodyguards, boys. Form a phalanx!
      The scene changes. There is a house in front of me with reddish purple paint with white trim.
      “Someone in here wants a nightmare,” I smile to the demons. They nod. There are angels in the area, looking suspiciously at the demons. I communicate with the head angel telepathically. He scans me to decipher what kind of being I am. “A dreamer? Just what kind of human are you?”
      “I am a dreamer, dear, but I am not human.” The angel nods, and lets me pass, giving me a scrutinizing gaze. I just smirk as I morph into a shadowy thing. I crouch at the foot of the bed. “Wake up... wake up... heh hehe...”
      For some reason, he is asleep. Ah, he is dreaming, and I am calling him to the astral plane. No matter, this is also a dream. I rumble like distant thunder. The young man stirs and sits up in bed, stretching. I slowly rise. He looks at me, and freezes. His mouth moves silently.
      “Speak, boy,” I rumble.
      “Who... what... are you?”
      “I’m from the Moon! And you are dreaming!”
      “No I am not! You are a demon! or a ghost? This is real!”
      “No, you are in the astral plane, see.... uh...”
      “Nomad?”
      “Yes! I mean no!” I roar again, and the young man turns and creates a portal with his third eye. He doesn’t realize he did it. He turns to me, then turns back to the portal. Something like a tentacle or rope comes out of it, and he grabs on.
      “This dream sucks! I’m out!” The thing pulls him into the portal and it closes. I walk back outside, and the angel rolls his eyes.
      One of the astral demons says, “how’d it go?”
      I smack him, and he flies across the yard into a tree.
      “Now I am going to the Moon, bitches! Oh wait... I feel more nightmares are wanted. Hmm... First, I need to set up my dream running portals.... Yes, Sarnox will want to come, Jo, and Koomo... guess he’s busy on his home planet.”

      I portal to the Moon, and join my dream body.

      Dream Plane Dream
      Alright, baby, Take me to the MOON!”
      “Yes Master.”
      “I love it when you say that.”
      “Ugh, you have such a big ego.” I feel my ship roll her eyes.

      We fly to the Temple of Nothing in the City of Nowhere in the Land of Nod on the Green Moon. She alights on the landing pad. There are two jaguars, a light one and a dark one, portrayed doing battle on the landing pad. Guargawn, my stand-in when I get bored of being a god, greets me, along with Sarnox, my Druid High Priest. “Wassup, god, wassup dog!”
      We laugh and catch up on events.
      “Well, the life here has gone completely apeshit, growing everywhere... remember that Juan guy with is sentient plants. Well, these creatures worship me now. I am trying to help them evolve to a level where they quit worshiping me. Let me show you my lab.”
      We walk into the temple and into a room that Guargawn built. He has different plants in enclosures for study. “Hm, you should meet Washu and Janet.”
      “Oh, we have been working together on this project. Who else is going to study dream flora and fauna? You? You bilocate too much, plus you remember only 2 to 5% of your dreams on a good night.”
      “Really?”
      “Most people it’s less than that. Anyway, we’ll come back to these later. I sense you have a lot on your agenda for tonight.”
      “Some dream running, and some rock and roll.”
      “Shit! Look at you!” Guargawn reaches into my dream body and pulls out a pink parasite. “Goddammit, Nomad!” he says, squashing it. “How the hell are you Juargawn, Lord of Nothing, when you can’t even control parasites?”
      “Well my silver centipedes...”
      “Fuck you silver centipedes, nigga! Some woman put a hook in you. Seal the wound. Pay attention! Look!”
      I see a strange hole in my dream body which I cauterize with violet flame.
      “Yeah, and I got sick in Wakeworld from those damn bugs.”
      “And it’s not the first time.”
      “You are right, brother.”
      “Keep your shields up. We are being attacked on all fronts by all manner of creatures. You think sentient creatures are the only threat? Yet microscopic mindless creatures slaughter us relentlessly.”
      I nod. I walk slowly out to the landing pad. I am amazed at the view. I sit down, and meditate. I realize that I am now a rakshasa, a lion-man. I form a golden aura around me, and seal it with blue light. I create colored orbs to move through my dream body, and cleanse myself. I sense Raven needs my help in the Healing Glen. I portal to her.
      She is just waking up in the Glen. We are suddenly under attack by silvery flying disks. They are shooting orange lasers at us. One hits me, and burns a hole in my side. I ignore it, and heal the wound. The Frost Giant appears, and forms an energy shield dome over us. He hits an unseen button on an unseen belt, and armor comes out of nowhere and attaches to him.
      “I thought this was sacred ground!”
      “It is,” says the Frost Giant. “But, they don’t give a shit.”
      Raven stand up, and changes.... She becomes taller, and her face changes shape, elongating to look like an elf or a female Grey. She is wearing a long black dress, and has two white horns spiraling to the sky. She grows to the size of a skyscraper. “I am Raven White, Queen of the Moon, and you have profaned this Hallowed Ground. I channel power you know not of!”
      Raven begins to glow brighter and brighter, and I feel something like a tiny sun in the core of her being. The alien ships swarm around her. She laughs and bats them away. She roars, and pure white light beams shoot out of her body, vaporizing all the ships around her. The Frost Giant is running across the landscape, grabbing ships out of the sky, and smashing them in his palms. Joseph has multiplied himself into an army of giant eagles. He smashes the ships in his talons, and rips the aliens from their ships. They look like... children?
      “Gah!”
      For a second, even the Frost Giant is deceived.
      “All illusion! Illusion of Nevergawn!”
      I smack my head, trying to get my True Sight Ocular Implants to work... Just had to turn them on. I whip out my didjeridoo, and send out a frequency to destroy the transmission of the child holograms from their hologram projectors. I see they are not aliens, but Moon Orcs riding around on strange dog-pterodactyl creatures. Suddenly we are in the Danger Room.
      “Guardians: ONE! Moon Orcs: ZERO!”
      Raven takes off a VR helmet along with MoSh, Joseph, and I.
      “MoSh, you were the Frost Giant?”
      “You asked me to, don’t you remember, Nomad?” he smiles at me flirtatiously. I feel uncomfortable for the first time in this dream. “Hey, let’s have a drink.’
      “Okay...”
      We walk into a casino, the three of us. Raven surveys the scene casually. We sit at the bar, and are served strange drinks with things moving in them. “He doesn’t remember,” Raven says.
      “We are all lovers, or were, at one time,” MoSh smiles at me.
      “Uh... I feel weird.”
      “Just drink.”
      I drink, and memories come flooding back to me, but these are not my memories, these are the memories of a different Nomad, from a different universe.
      “Okay... so, I and Raven are together, and you and Raven are together, but you and I used to be together?”
      “Yes,” says MoSh.
      “Oh, gross!”
      He rolls his eyes. “Parallel universe, hello?”
      “Right. But, what happened to the other Nomad?”
      “He’s dead,” Raven White says flatly.
      “So, you can keep dreaming with him, right?”
      She looks at me and laughs. “This is no dream, baby. You’re in Wakeworld.”
      “HOLY SHIT!”
      I am so shocked by this, I wake up. I am in my bedchambers in my temple on the Moon. I am sleeping with three women in my bed. I float up so as not to disturb them, and stretch. I walk out to the landing pad. Selene joins me. I feel her caress on my arm.
      “Baby, is this real?”
      “This is real, this is dream. We are on the dream plane.”
      “Are we in a simulation?”
      “No.”
      “Good.”
      I turn to her, and look into her eyes, her beautiful dark dark eyes, dark as night. I realize she is an alien, and so am I.... We all are, and I am okay with that. We kiss. I feel like we haven’t kissed for years. Maybe it has been years on the Dream Plane?
      “Selene, I want to know what happened when you were kidnaped.”
      “I wanted to see what would happen if I let them kidnap me.”
      “Why did you do that?”
      “I was curious to the depths of their evil?”
      “What happened?”
      “They tried to rape me.”
      “What did you do?”
      “I dream-killed them.”
      “Good. Why didn’t you tell me you were going to do this?”
      “You wouldn’t have let me go.”
      “True.”
      I walk around in a circle on all fours, and fall asleep, with Selene leaning on me.

      ***

      I am back in the Fucking Concrete Underground Future, and my life is Hell. I am on the astral plane, and I am in the room where my Physical Body, my Real Body is. I see my lion-goat-centaur body twitch in the fluid in the cylinder. An alarm goes off.
      “Shit he’s waking up! FUCK FUCK FUCK! Send him some sedatives! Slowly...”
      I hear a scientist say. Maybe I should not be here. If I wake up here... I am dead in the past. I begin to float out of the room, when I am jerked into my Real Body. I feel like I am going to suffocate. What the hell is going on? I can breathe! I am blind. I see colored lights in front of my eyes. FUCK THIS MASK. Who is trying to brainwash me? I rip the mask off, and see a bunch of scientists running around through green fluid. One of them with a turkey like head turns to me, and we make eye contact. I scream into the air piece. I feel a strange calm as the drugs take effect. I float out of my Real Body, and back to the floor. One of the psychic scientists looks at me. “It’s not a good idea for you to be here, friend,” he says to me warmly. I nod, and create a portal back to the Moon.

      I wake up in the Healing Glen. MoSh is there. “Let’s rock!” he says.

      “Doh! I am about to wake up. Next dream!” I say.
      He nods, and everything fades to white.
