There was this big maze that just went on and had all sorts of catwalks and things. There was something about me going backwards through it and going back to my people and I was in a resturaunt with Mom and some lady and we were going to catch the bus in 45 seconds. The lady was talking on the telephone or doing some other time-consuming thing and we told her the bus would be here in 45 seconds and she hurried up. We went and caught the bus and were looking out the window because we wanted to see Elspeth (she was supposedly pushing Heather around at the time).

There was one of those games where you give it a few quarters and then you can try to control the dumb grabby thing. Except we could open it up and take our quarters out and do it again. I was there with someone else, and they were asdkasdlkdsnsckjsn? Anyway, we had to have our skunk run through and then we had to use a weird remote to control the grabby thing, and we had a certain amount of time to do all this. I actually managed to get lots of stuffies.

We were having a war with some other folks. We were hanging out at the top of a cliff by a lake. It was like a Doom level, and at one point I was actually thinking about changing the lake to lava or something. We were pretty safe at the top of our concrete cliff. There was like a wall at the top, and we sat on top of the wall or the lake side of it. If the bad guys came to shoot at us (from the non-lake side, even though they lived across the lake), they usually missed and the guy sitting on top of the wall would get them.

Before the war we were having, I had swimmed across the lake with a
couple other guys, and that's how we found out it was a lake and not
an ocean. It was actually pretty small.

There were these wooden diving boards on top of the cliff, but not on
the other side of the wall. You couldn't use them anymore because all
sorts of other stuff had been set up and attached to the cliff there,
but once or twice some guy would say "ooh can I try it?" and try to
jump off before realizing that it wouldn't work, so he would jump off
the board onto the long horizontal beam perpendicular to the boards
and not be able to stop and fall off. I don't think they got hurt, though.

One of the bad guys made it over the wall and was trying to shoot
me. All I could do was put my boot in his way while I tried to get my
gun out. He was getting pretty close. I could feel a bullet going by
my side.

There was a cave we were going through, and maybe it was controlled by
the baddies. They released a cyberdemon in it and the cyberdemon
almost killed me, but I pushed an old helicopter in front of him so he
attacked that instead.

Then it was different. The lake was still there, but it was WWI and
everyone was a bunch of kids (my age and younger). It was like a
school campus, and there were certain buildings we were defending (1 2
and 3). Someone made a decision that we would only defend a certain
two buildings (1 and 2) that were rather hard to defend and caused us
a lot of casualties and one kid (reminds me of Tallis) got kinda upset
about that.

(Buildings 5 and 6 were our home base, and Ebs are the enemy's
buildings)

Then we decided we'd just all go to building 4 (which was a funny
little green building) and not take any weapons or anything. I wasn't
sure how that would work. There was this one girl that I walked by
twice on the way there, and I figured it must have been a special
effect.

Then we were watching the trucks come and go with all their supplies
and caskets. I went driving with a couple people and we were down by a
river and the road with the trucks going by was up on a cliff next to
the river. Someone said something about all those kids being dead now,
and I started weeping uncontrollably. There was something about the
Big Bang that was supposed to happen the next day or something, and it
was going to be really exciting.

So the next day we were driving around in a van. I was sitting in the
front passenger seat, and some tall guy was sitting behind me holding
a confederate flag out the window (it wasn't a real confederate flag,
it was some weird thing with colored bars that were shorter than we
were used to them being). I was thinking about running over to the
enemies with a white flag and getting this whole mess straightened out
so we wouldn't have to fight anymore. I noticed that the Sun appeared
larger than usual, and figured that was an effect of the Big Bang
thing.

We drove to some beach. I was looking at the Sun and noticed that it
was actually growing faster and faster. I thought/said "oh crap, this
is what they didn't know about! We're all going to die!". Everyone
else got back in the van to go somewhere, but me and 2 or 3 other guys
jumped in the water and started swimming, just for the heck of it. We
had to go under a low bridge, and then we were in a canal in a
town. We climbed up out of the water onto a bridge and walked around a
little bit. We went to the far side of the town (where the ocean
really started, I guess) and looked at the Sun again. It
started shrinking, and then just faded away leaving the regular Sun
just where it should be. "Oh, it was just pretending to be really
huge!". We then started walking back trying to find the river which we
came in on. Instead, we found an entrance to the House on the Rock. So
we went in there. I had some kid with me, and he did some funny trick
to get past the ticket lady, even though we had our tickets. Then I
went into this garage where there was this guy who I knew who was
still working there. "Just call me Piani," he said, since he was a
pianist.

I woke up and didn't do much. I walked down to Cub to buy english
muffins for Mom to make dinner with (did I mention that we had yummy
waffles last night? or was it the night before...?) I went for a run
in the evening, getting back at 10:30 or something. Jon was over.
