So I had a very interesting morning this morning, or dream rather. Basically I was with a group of people and we were sneaking around some house (was the father’s house of one of the people in my group) and for whatever reason we were trying to sneak a couple chickens into his house, ones I guess we rescued, because he had a nice little chicken coop and some chickens already. Well we go in there and for whatever reason, I knew that I could stop time, right, so I did. What I’d do was really focus and then clap my hands. Everything would become still. The only things that could move were me and anyone else because, I learned, even though I could stop time, I couldn’t interfere with free will, choice. So humanity could still move about but everything else just froze (including the chickens). It was kind of Harry Potter-esque how we were sneaking around at night.
In the other part of the dream, I was with another group of people, a group of peers, all guys. I was some sort of leader in this gang or whatever it was but some guy was smart-talkin’ and tryin’ to usurp my authority. Well I got into a big brawl where I was fighting like three guys at one time. I managed to incapacitate two of ‘em and pull a knife on the other. Then there was a skip in the dream or something happened and that guy I pulled the knife on had become the new leader and I was just a loner. I remember now, they threw a bunch of knives or shot arrows or something at me and whoever was still allied with me. They all died but I got pumped full of knives, I think they were knives, and pretended to be dead. Then I was like able to travel through the Twilight (which would make sense if you read the Watch series I’ve mentioned in other posts) which basically meant I could travel in this sub-reality, in darkness, where they couldn’t see me. I attacked a couple who were trying to use flashlights to spot me and failed. Then in the end I came into the light, confronted my nemesis, and got the majority of the guys to return to my side. That was all.
I’ve been using deductive reasoning to figure out this zombie-thing, like how to make it realistic. I don’t want to go the end of the world/demon route, nor do I want to use the toxic waste excuse. It will involve a virus (not the T-virus from Resident Evil) and the virus will be extremely mutative (which could later lead to, god-forbid, fast zombies) and it will involve hemophilia (which will help explain how one bite can kill) See everyone has the virus already, it was in the water (“Was there something in the water?” people always ask that in this type of scenarios) but I’m thinking it lies dormant until you die, when you die it mutates and takes over. When you’re bit, the saliva from the zombie transfers the mutative strain of virus into your blood and unlocks the dormant cells in there, which kills you in about 24 hours and then takes you over.
That’s a start anyways. I feel kind of like House or something, trying to figure this out. If only I had a vast knowledge of medicine, then I could probably come up with a good explanation easy. Alas, it will just take time.
