Luckily there were no dragons.
the Wrong Bus
The dream began with me playing soccer at Kallang basketball court. I just finished my game of soccer and scored a wonderful hat trick and sweet victory for my team. I was making my trip back home and a friend of mine came from behind and ask me to accompany him home. He said he will pay for the bus trip. So I send him back, we talked on the bus. It was late, 10pm. So I told him I had to rush home since mum called me back. So i alighted a stop before his actual stop and cross over the road to take another bus. To my surprise, there we no bus for me to take from Potong Pasir back home. There was only bus 555. So the bus came and lucky me, it was heading for Toa Payoh.
When I boarded it, it was empty. No one was inside except for me and the bus driver. I guess it was late and no one would bother staying up late. So the bus made a move on, and soon after I realise I had not stopped for over a long time and it took a U turn to Macpherson road. I decided to stop at circuit road. I ask the bus driver, why he had not gone to Toa Payoh.
Bus driver: This bus don't stop at Toa Payoh. Can't you see its bus no. 666.
*shocked!*
I turn and look, there was no one. erm... So I alighted to see my old school of Macpherson Secondary. I soon find there were a lot of people alighting from the same bus. Not to worry, they are normal people. I was curious and thought it was only my imagination. It didn't bother my much at that point of time. I soon found that the bus stop had a jukebox installed. I decided to stop by and listen to some Jason Mraz songs. The headset was not even locked so I decided to steal it and put it inside my back. Now I wonder how I even got a bag with me. I soon turn to walk to the bus stop in front of Macpherson ITE. There were no busses that stop there!
So I was puzzled and confuse. So I went to walk and see what I can find. It was a ghost town. The clouds, dark as if it would rain soon. The place was very foggy and I can hardly see a thing. There were soft screams and a child crying. I try to see what is going on in there. I follow the trail of the voice. I soon met with a child inside a van. (I saw a child in a van crying in real life but decided to ignore him while I was on my way to work) I look and the child's eye turn black and turn blue. I ran as fast as I could. There was no looking back from that.
I find there we spiders crawling everywhere. Black widows and tarantulas were crawling all over. Creepy, they are my biggest fears at once. I ran trying to avoid all of them. Snakes we on the pipes of the ceilings. Non of them fell to the floor so I ran quicker. I decided to find someone that could help me. I couldn't find my phone and there is no way to call for help. My bad disappeared right after I kept the headset.
I took the lift to the 2nd floor when I met two teenagers. I followed them. They look relax as if they knew what had happen to this town. I asked them if they know what happen. silence. Tears followed after. They had no time to explain. The lift escalated to the 10th floor as if we were pulled by a force. The doors open. The two covered my eyes my I can smell and somehow found a way to see what happened. A man with his head out of his head with maggots crawling out. I jumped on the lift as hard as I could to make it go down to the 1st floor. I succeeded.
We ran only to find that we have disturbed a bunch of zombies who were resting. They ran towards us.( Left 4 Dead kind of zombies) We ran and ran. The two guys found a gun and began shooting their way out while I use my fist to punch my way through. There were so many of them.
I found my way through and saw a bus stop. I ran towards the bus stop. Before I could reach the bus stop, a bunch of pontianaks were chasing some people who survived the horrific town. Most didn't manage to survive after the pontianaks horrific scream. It was like a banshee I should say. I took my chance and ran. There was one chasing me but I manage to close my ears and block the scream. Guess what, its the headset I stole and it has noise cancelation. I was so glad I had it right in time. The bus came soon after , it was bus no. 334 and I boarded it. I made sure it was a bus to Toa Payoh this time.
I was totally breathless. I and I asked the bus driver, why he took a wrong turn and headed to the expressway. He said, we are going to Pasir Ris, not Toa Payoh. I was wrong again. And I ask him, what number? He replied, 444. I was in state of shock again. I can't believe I'm going to get into trouble and I have to work tomorrow! We reached Pasir Ris faster than I expected. I rushed to the MRT control station to tell them what happen. The guy was sleeping! I can't believe it. There was a man behind him and I called out to him. He turn and he don't seem to be doing so good. His face was pale and he told me that someone is calling out to me.
I turn and I found a spirit reaper. It was so dark, hallow. I couldn't explain my feelings back then, it was horrifying. I was scared to death. The dark soul, the death angel it seems. It tried to take my head but I dodge and ran. I fell from the slippery floor. My legs kicked its head while I was getting back up. I got back up and ran again. I ran and ran in fear. I was in great fear. I ran and ran and ran...
"fawze..bangun..(fawze, wake up)"-mum
My mum saved me. It was one out of 5 nightmares I had in this past week and each time I woke up, I found myself on the wrong side of the bed. I slept with my feet facing the door and I woke up with my head facing the door. Man, that was one story huh? I don't wish to have nightmares ever again..=(
