The display fridge was lined up with half-missing containers of Caesar salad. I wandered around the aisles of the store, thinking that I should buy something before I got onto my flight. I settled for a Chinese smartphone that was up for 100 bucks. It had a bunch of pirated mobile games on it as well as cheats for said games installed. Someone told me that typing the words “yuui amber” in the keypad was the cheat code for everything. I keyed it in out of curiosity and it simultaneously unlocked the phone and opened up a game.

We were playing a PvE cooperative siege defense game that had some ridiculously long respawn time. All of us were waiting for the timer to count down as we watched the enemies break the gates of the mansion. “So much for the new aggressive AI” someone remarked.

I was back home for the weekend but for some reason I had brought an entire suitcase of clothes back with me. I rummaged through the closets in my old room to find pieces of clothing that I have never noticed before, like a pair of transparent pants. “Why would you ever buy these?” I asked myself. When I stood up, I realized that I was wearing shoes of mismatching heights.

I walked towards the ruins in the middle of the soccer field on a rainy day. Each building located at the center of each field had a guestbook where you could sign in. I noticed that there was also a knob to turn on the sprinklers which rose up to waist-height from the ground. I casually turned the knob, not expecting the water to spray out so quickly. I ran towards the street over the slight incline on the opposite side of the field. It was already too late when I realized I was running in mud and had gotten dirt all over my pants and shoes.

We had sketched out a comic about a flame spirit together and decided that was enough for today. I wanted to go home but it seemed like the bus wasn’t coming around for another four hours or so. It was already starting to get dark. “You want to stay, don’t you?” someone asked me as I sat staring at the empty road.

It was getting dark as it started to rain when I realized that I had misplaced my ID card. Unable to pass through the front gate without my card, I had to slip through behind another group of people as they entered.

Our assignment was to create an animated clip that portrayed “Tanky”. It was suggested that we used SFM for this but before we could do that, we first had to download and install various programs, models, and voice clips. I was unsure if I was installing redundant software as I went to the webpages of different image and video editors.

I was sleeping in the backseat of a car when the driver jumped out of the window after setting something heavy on the gas pedal. I sat up from my seat seconds before the car was due to collide with a building across the intersection head-on at full speed. I quickly jumped into the driver’s seat and swerved the car to the left, right before hearing police sirens go off behind me. It wasn’t until we were on the highway that my feet had managed to reach the pedals allowing me to pull over. I held my hands up in resignation as I tried to explain the situation.

I was watching someone play a Starcraft game as Zerg against Protoss. It was already pretty late into the game but this person had barely scouted out the map at all. We had no idea where the enemy was. He started building Spore Colonies all around the perimeter of the cliff his base was on while also talking about an exploit that allowed him to effectively have an infinite amount of workers.

We could see the tropical forest across the desert that we were traversing by train. I took a photo because I didn’t expect to also see giant mushrooms the size of mountains along the horizon. I gave someone a tip about ways to find an alternate version of something. They thanked me.
