I started out in Weyers Cave. Something had happened to 256 heading towards Weyers Cave from Grandmamma's house, and part of it was shut down or just very slow moving. There was a huge amount of traffic on it, and I think I wound up trying to follow it on a bicycle. I kept getting caught up in the traffic, so at one point I turned around and went back the other way to go towards Grottoes.
I went a little ways past Grandmamma's house, about a mile or so, and then turned around and started to head back towards Weyers Cave again. The point where I turned around was kind of like the steeper hill area where Mountain River Farms was (I was kind of on top of the hill), but it was like I could see all the way back to our intersection. As I came back, I passed some people that I knew. I think I mainly saw them after I turned and went down past Grandmamma's house and the Garber's farm. I saw Sue (mother of kids that went to school with my brothers) walking along the road on the sidewalk(?) and stopped to talk with her for a short bit. I may have talked to her husband, Mark, and a couple of other people along the way.
Eventually I wound back up at Grandmamma's house, and there was something about needing to clean up the place or the area around from vampires that were there. I went out to the back porch and got up on this loft sort of area to begin. I was up on this platform that brought me up near the ceiling, and there were these groups of vampires coming at me.
There was a bit of a wall in front of me that I could see over, and beyond it, the ground was lower, like it went down a story. I had some sort of weapon that in order to use it effectively, I had to charge it up. As I looked out from where I was, even though the area over the wall went down a ways, beyond the actual porch, it dropped down a couple of stories. I was up fairly high. I could also see that I was in more of an urban type of environment, like I was in a nice classical and posh sort of city.
Anyway, these little vampires that were about the size of large rats or even nutria were scuttling in on all fours from the right in the area below. They knew where I was, so I had to act quickly to get them before they came and got me. They had red glowing eyes and white fur that looked all wet and matted. They reminded me a little bit of the balverines in the game Fable (which I haven't played for a couple of weeks now) but much smaller.
Anyway, I had this weapon that I some how had to charge by pulling back the trigger half way. The longer I let it charge, the stronger the shot would be. It was like some sort of little phaser gun. Anyway, I seemed to do rather well and was able to get them all in that area before they came to me. Each one left behind some sort of Cassette tape that was just full of it's own screeching and howling. I put them all into a box that was like a large shoe box or even some sort of double sided tool box. I went around the corner that they were coming from and went to hunt out more. Doing so took me down into this court yard area where there was an opening into some sort of crypt or cellar. I went in there and wiped out a bunch of vampires as well.
When I came out, someone that was a cross between George Lopez (the comedian) and Marco from Sealab was there. He evidently worked in the kitchen of the estate that I was on the property of, and it turned out that the vampires that I just killed, he had claimed as his, and so he was angry about my killing them. He wasn't acting very angry, and he wasn't really directing anything directly at me, but he was complaining, or even whining, to someone else that was there. I think that someone else was like Deb from Sealab. I felt a little bad at first, but then I realized that he just wasn't really aware of how bad these things were, and something had to be done to take care of them.
I wound up leaving, and the next little bit is somewhat fuzzy. I think I went around this big estate killing off more vampires. At one point, I was in front of this building that was long and tall, and had a tall tower going up from the middle of it. I eventually wound back up at Grandmamma's house and I cleaned up a bit. I went into through the kitchen, leaving the tapes outside on the porch, and then into the living room. It was getting to be night time at this point, and the kitchen was dark when I went into it, but the dining room light was on. I went straight into there. I talked to someone briefly in there, but I'm a bit unsure who it was. It may have been Grandmamma, or Em, or even my mom, but either way, it was a female (or two?) that I talked to in there. Eric may have been present as well, or that may have been earlier that I talked to him. I'm not sure.
Anyway, I don't think that the ones I was talking to believed me about the vampires, so I said I'd go and get the tapes. I went back out onto the porch, and I found out that it was almost like a game, and going back out on the porch was like resetting the game, and it caused the tapes to disappear, and the vampires started coming from around the right hand corner again one by one. This caught me a little by surprise, and I was unable to use my weapon correctly for a short bit. This allowed the vampires to show up a little more tightly bunched, and they even started to come up onto the balcony area I was on. I tried firing my gun/phaser, but I hadn't let it charge up enough. I was trying to fire at them quickly, and the shots were just ricocheting off of the safety glasses that were strangely poised in front of each one. The glasses were almost as big as they were, and usually they weren't even on their face. They just sat in front of them facing me the whole time, no matter which direction the vampires faced. Finally I started getting in a couple of good shots, but I was still having trouble.
The next thing I know, though, the area is clear, and it turns out that the balcony that I'm on is in a space ship. Captain Murphy from Sealab is in the room with me, as is Deb. We were all talking, and Murphy was doing his usual complaining about stuff. I think he was looking for a key to be able to get out of that room, and while he was complaining, Deb and I snuck out and locked the door behind us. It turned out that she had the keys hidden on her the whole time, and she wasn't going to let Murphy out. We then suited up with Marco and got into some sort of little escape pod and took off from the ship. The keys were SO tiny, being only a millimeter long, and looking more like a block with two nubs on either side of it than a real key. I think there was also a second piece to the key, but I'm not sure what that looked like.
Anyway, we headed out from the ship, which wasn't all that big anyway (about the size of a smallish house) and the pod we were in was only about the size of a small bathroom. I think I mentioned something about how I didn't really like the thought of leaving Captain Murphy on the ship and locked in the back/center room, and she said that he'd be fine, and that if we let him out, he'd be really pissed at us. I figured she was probably right, and I didn't want to see him all pissed, so I let it go.
We didn't go far, and we eventually wound up in this really strange place. It was this huge room, like the size of a large gymnasium (it reminded me the most of the gym at Weyers Cave elementary school), and it had all the planets in there. The light from the sun in the middle only shown in one direction, and that was up. All the planets seemed to be floating on this invisible planet, and on top they were lit, and on the bottom they were dark. There was a ceiling above us, but below the plane below us, there didn't seem to be a floor. It just dropped off into nothing. We had the ability to float, and though there seemed to be gravity that pulled at us in the normal downward fashion, we could basically fight gravity just by thinking it, and keeping afloat.
We went around in this big room looking at the planets. I think I started out at Saturn (which may be the general area that we were in on that ship anyway, and we grew and grew until we were big enough to see the planets as being hardly any bigger than basketballs, or at the largest, papasan chairs (about 3 feet or a little more in diameter)
Anyway, Captain Murphy came in through a double door on the left side and "stood" in the space area with his arms crossed. He was there to oversee things, and it was as if he had forgotten that we had left him locked in the space ship. We went around exploring all of the planets, looking at the light side of each one. Then, at one point, Deb said something about "going below to look at the dark sides." I didn't really think that was a good idea because I was afraid that we'd drop off into the nothingness that was below us. I thought the invisible plane that held the planets in place did the same for us, and if we went below it, we'd just keep falling. But, we went below anyway, and we still managed to just bob near the surface. It took a bit more concentration, but it wasn't that difficult.
On earth, which was in the opposite corner of the room from where Murphy came in, you could see the city lights on the dark side. I went around, and I went through he rings around Saturn and Uranus. I noticed that not only did the light not really travel down there (but everything had this kind of black light faint purplish glow) but the chaotic sound of the light side didn't come down here, either. It was quiet and somewhat serene. I eventually brought myself back up to the light side. I went over to earth, and I had something similar to the key that Deb had used earlier to lock Murphy into the room. It looked somewhat like tiny little Lego blocks.
I realized that they represented buildings. I had a stack of two, and I found a place on the surface of the US near California to put it, and I put it down into place. I wanted to see what would happen if they freaked out on earth and realized a super tall building was there. I watched, and Deb and Marco watched with me, and they said, "See? They just take it down!" and sure enough, the top two blocks looked like they were being carried down by some sort of tiny invisible force. It was bizarre and funny at the same time.
Then I went over to the area of this "gym" where the stage would have been, and there was this angled piece that went down into the dark side. It was kind of like a roof.that shielded out the light. I bobbed around underneath it for a short bit, and there were these little translucent balls that reminded me a bit of atoms that were kind of bobbing around under there with me. I had the urge to smack them so they traveled down along the roof and then out into the lighted area, but I didn't.
Then a bigger ball, about the size of a beach ball, came up by me. It was Deb, and she was going to go to sleep. Evidently this required the ability to keep yourself under the roof, but because of the tilt, and because it wasn't all the way against the back wall, she kept going up and up and then slipped past the roof and floated upwards to the top of the room. There was a little area just big enough for her to fit in that was like a trench in the ceiling. The top side of the trench was slanted just like the roof, and it had a bit more light in it, but not a huge amount. It was mirrored in there, and she was pissed at first. But all first-timers had that happen to them, I think.
Anyway, another ball came bobbing up next to her, and Deb responded with something like "Ew! Get away!" and from it came this woman's voice saying that it was okay, and it turned out to be "Black Debbie" from Sealab, also in ball form.
