A midwinter's zombies dream
Not sure what's with me and zombies, perhaps because I've been reading a couple of indie stories about those recently, as well as considering buying the Walking Dead comics, and having received Dearly, Departed in my mailbox.
I had that dream about being the daughter of a doctor, living in Strasbourg, long after a zombie epidemics breakout had occurred. So zombies weren't something totally new, the living had found out ways of protecting themselves and all, but of course the undead remained a constantly growing problem, and there were less and less people who managed to remain alive. My 'father' and I were trying to reach the Esplanade university campus, where the last researchers still alive were trying to come up with a cure. Alas, at some point, my 'father' was unfortunately killed,during a particularly intense and nasty attack in Neudorf, and it was left to me to reach the campus and bring his notes and work to the other researchers. To do so, I had to enlist the help of a tramway driver, and use his train to escape a swarm of zombies that kept on chasing me to eat my brains. I let you imagine what a crazy car tramway chase could look like. I actually found that pretty funny, in all the meanings of the word.
Too bad I'm not remembering everything now, because that dream what interesting, and I think would make a decent basis for a fun short story. Well, if you except the part where one tramway out of two was reserved for zombies, and you had to be very careful not to jump into the wrong train, even though it was nicely announced on the electronic panels at each station. XD
My second dream that night was another of those nightmares about trying to teach something to a classroom full of asshole teenagers, despite me doing everything disciplinary-wise, and not being 'weak' or anything. But those are such recurrent dreams that I'm not bothering writing them down anymore. *shrugs*
