Movie

I was in an apartment that was supposed to be mine (although it reminds me of the one that Mary (ex-girlfriend) lived in in Waynesboro for a while) and I'm watching this movie about some sort of monsters or something. It seems like it was supposed to be a Japanese anime, although it seemed very realistic, too.

It also had some game-like qualities in that I was making some choices within the movie and living part of it out, and in other parts I just seemed to be watching. The part that I remember the "movie" beginning in is in this cave like room where this old warrior has just died, and there's two swords on the ground. A green sort of plastic looking one, and a metal one. I (or someone) picks up the metal one and slashes it through something in the ground that is supposed to be part of the some monster that is getting ready to break through and destroy everything. In slashing through this part of it, it splits it wide open, and then it seems to whither away. One monster down.

Then as "we" (whoever else was with me, but I have no idea who it was) were leaving through this cave network, more and more monsters start showing up, chasing us and destroying everything around them. We finally make it out to the surface, which was in the middle of a large city, but so did the monsters.

At this point, I was way above the "central skyscraper" and I could see the monsters coming out and destroying the ground around it, and then destroying the skyscraper itself. After this, they went on to destroy the rest of the city. Then, either the movie was over, or I just had to leave (I don't remember which) but either way, I left and went to school. I was walking around the halls like it was during lunch.

I think I first met Jason (from Papa John's) close to the cafeteria steps and I asked him some question (but I don't remember what) and it seems to me that he didn't know the answer. So then I started walking around. I think I may have gone down to the cafeteria briefly, but I didn't stay down there. I breezed into the room that had been Coach Con's room, but whatever I was looking for wasn't there. So I went back up and continued up the stairs up to the second story.

As I was walking up there, I met up with Scott (best friend in elementary school) and Stephen (friend from school). I talked to them briefly, and then I think Scott had to go do something, and so he left, but Stephen went with me to Mrs. Yager's room (biology teacher) . I think we had class in there for a little bit, and then we were done for the day or something, and so I went downstairs again and walked out in the direction of the office and out to the parking lot.

I went out and got into my car (and even though it was supposed to be the afternoon, the sun was where it should have been in the morning) After I got into my car, I looked around and I saw Mike and Robin (from Papa John's) in their truck in one of the parking spaces behind me. We waved to each other, and then I backed out and started to drive down to the end of the parking lot to leave. My car wasn't doing very well, no matter how much I pushed on the gas pedal, and Mike and Robin were right behind me.

Finally my car started working better again, and I drove down to the intersection at Rt. 11. When I got there, the guy from Kroger's (the one that told me his alcohol story) was there, and I got out of my car to help him stock the shelves that were there. (which were there instead of the wall that gets painted by the art classes every year) So we started stacking bags of dog food. Someone was helping us for a little bit, but they ended up leaving shortly.

We were trying to stack the bags of dog food in between these sort of flimsy metal grate dividers. He was pleased with the way I was doing it because of I was able to get them stacked upon one another and then some off to the side of them as well, getting more than most people into a stack. After I was done there, I ended up going back to the apartment, and Theresa (ex-girlfriend) was there. Some younger kids had somehow followed me there, and so they were wanting to see the movie as well. I tried to warn them that it was really scary, but they didn't care. They wanted to see it anyway.

So they, along with some adult (I think it may have been John, the youth pastor for Pleasant Valley Church) came in to watch it. I went and told Theresa that they were wanting to see it, and she basically told me that if they get scared, it's they're own fault. I agreed and started it up for them. It picked up at the same place with the old warrior that was getting ready to die. He said something about killing the bears, but I wasn't sure what that was about. I then realized that the bear livers that were left behind (like in the game Nexus) could help him (and us) out and make him better enough to help us instead of dying, so I went around and gathered several of them.
