I watched as the colorfully painted house on the beach gently leaned to the side until it completely tipped over like an uprooted tree. I picked up what seemed to be a boat cut in half and the man sitting by the water asked if I was sailing somewhere. “I thought about it” I said, before turning back and telling my father that the house had fallen over.

We were playing a team-based procedural escape game and for some reason we started inside of a flooded basement. “Are we meant to start underwater?” someone asked. Apparently there was a bug in our version where players would spawn in locations without breathable air.

We were in an underpass and there was graffiti on the wall across from me with the text “I think Bernie is going to lose. I’m worried” in a bubble above of a portrait of the senator. “Seems like things changed after yesterday’s Pokemon stream” said someone walking down the stairs on the right. To the left and on the opposite wall were portals named “teleportation streams”.

I was trying to get in tough with a friend through Discord so I could tell him that his account had turned into a spambot of some sort but my father kept standing in front of the keyboard. Because of this, I had to communicate by drawing on a cloth doll with a chalk pen. I was being bombarded with nonsensically captioned pictures from a trip to Hawaii we went on together from May 2014. They linked to an “euarchive” site that I suspected to be malicious. “Yeah.” he typed, “I forgot to turn it off”

My mother asked me if I had taken any tests. I wasn’t quite sure what she meant as I had taken many tests over the years so I asked her when and what kind she was talking about. “Other than the DEMO, you don’t have any other tests coming up, right?” my aunt asked. I nodded without knowing what the DEMO test was which backfired when it was my mother’s turn to ask what it was.

I was playing Overwatch with a friend when my network suddenly disconnected so I decided to take a bike ride along the beach. When I got back home, I left my bike outside of the front door and went upstairs. A friend wanted to thank me for finding and returning her iPhone a few days back. She was however curious about the data from her phone’s tracking device which suggested that an unregistered user had carried the phone to an outlet. I told her that it was because I had plugged it in without unlocking the phone.* I went up yet another floor to see a friend’s pet dog but she was nowhere to be seen.

I was walking around in the open-air supermarket on the edge of a cliff. I was being chased by Mei with a kitchen knife until I took the jump into the water below. I swam along the rocks in the freezing water until I got up onto a platform near the entrance of the supermarket. When I reentered the store, I walked towards the freezer to get some mango ice cream.

Nuclear war had broken out between the United States and Russia during its military campaign into Southeast Asia. As a result, most of Canada had been nuked and now remained as a radioactive wasteland. It was technically under Russian control but so few people lived here for the claims to mean much.

He picked up the glass sphere from the coffee table before looking me in the eye and asking, “What is the world was a snow globe?” I told him to stop being ridiculous for it was obvious that the earth wasn’t enclosed in a layer of glass. “Well how do we know that?” he challenged.

We got out of the taxi in the middle of downtown and there was a promotional display in the plaza for a reshowing of a 1981 romcom. My brother made a comment about something “saving the media” as I rolled along in my wheelchair. Our father called at us from across the street as we were getting tickets to watch the new Tom Cruise movie. “Didn’t you want to watch it?” my dad asked with a mask over his head while he dragged my wheelchair. When we got to the ticket counter we were going to get a disabled ticket until we realized that they could only be bought in pairs (?) which made us hesitate about our decision. “Are you sure? It’s at a reduced price” someone said.
