the temple of innocence

so i had this weird dream.

it started off a snowy day at school. juan was somehow there, and i was trying to stumble back across the fields towards buell, where kp & sarah were in a snowball fight. i started snowball fighting, too, and then juan popped out of wheeler and was like... basically he went ninja on us and owned us in the snowball fight.

then i decided to go searching for the secret tunnel in the chapel. i was walking down this flagstone path when i noticed one of the flagstones was too small (? yeah i don't get it either). carefully, i moved it and then dropped down into the tunnel with two other people.

once down there, i manuevered around an old-fashioned looking column, and one of the people who'd come shined a light on me. i turned to face him, and he shot me in the chest.

i stood there, and was like "okay, what WAS THAT FOR?"

he told me "you didn't bring back-up batteries for your flashlight. the rules are, if you don't bring back-up batteries we have to shoot you."

"well," i said, "i didn't even bring a flashlight."

"oh. okay that's fine, sorry about shooting you."

then we proceeded to descend to find the temple of treasures at the bottom of this tunnel-place.

now, imagine a square. as you look down into the darkness, there are different levels, like looking down a staircase that wraps around the walls, you know?

except these levels weren't staircases -- one level didn't have a set of stairs up to the next, and the only way to get down was to jump over the edge of your level, and swim through the air as you fell to get to the next one. me and the two other random folks did this twice, when we heard someone's batteries dropped.

thinking that this stranger was a bad guy, i jumped down the levels after him.

the next level had two sides: one side was lighted, and one side ones. the bad guy jumped to the lighted side, so i jumped to the dark side. the bad guy yelled at me "JUMP!"

i was confused, but i jumped anyway, leaping across the level towards the lighted side. just as i pushed off from my dark side of the level, a monster poked out, trying to eat me. the stranger-bad guy had saved my life, so he wasn't a bad guy anymore.

we continued jumping down the levels.

when we got to the floor, there was nothing there.

disappointed, we were about to leave (i don't know how) when i realized the floor was carpet.

so we peeled up a section of carpet and found a staircase down to the REAL temple...

... and we ended up as mice, in this little girl's bed as her father read her a bedtime story. i asked the previously-strangerbadguy "Wait, what about the temple full of treasure?"

he told me "this is the temple -- and the treasure is childhood innocence."

i stared at him. "well that's lame. let's leave."

unfortunately, we were mice, and we didn't know how to.

fortunately, i woke up before we got killed.

this is fuping, signing out!!
