It was near the beginning of the semester and I was talking to a girl who was unexpectedly into me. It didn’t take long before we were making out in her room. It felt good but I was constantly distracted by the fact that I had only just told a friend I wasn’t intending to see anyone any time soon.

I was walking around the surrounding residential area after class. It was easy to get lost in the rows of identical houses and I swear I had bumped into the same group of people multiple times. I didn’t really have any clothes on and was holding a large damp towel. I eventually made my way back to the lawn and saw that people had set up a variety of booths to celebrate the beginning of the year.

I walked into an empty shed with a turntable and sat down to take a breather. I set my shoes and phone next to me as I curled up in a corner. I had only closed my eyes for a moment before a group of people donning Beijing opera makeup and costumes opened the door. I quickly got out of the shed with my things to see that it was now night time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was standing on top of a large watchtower for some kind of Terminator related performance. There was police tape around large sections of the lawn as well as multiple screens displaying what was happening around and on top of the watchtower. I had to walk the long way around the trees to get a good view. People acting as soldiers were charging at the tower and getting gunned down - but it was later revealed that they were actually zombies. The screen cut to a team leading the resistance who claimed that they were going to win the fight using “Jerry’s chickens - and statistics!” Their leader raised a scrawny white chicken into the air by the neck while the rest cheered.
