Prophetic Dreams

I had a dream the other night in which I was fighting dinosaurs. My weapon of choice was a sword, which is odd, but what was odder (more odd?) was what I was fighting against.

It was terrifying. A group of us humans, scattered about like platoons from Napoleon's mind, but fewer and instead of fighting humans we were fighting beasts unlike anything I'd ever seen. Beasts akin to those Job must have been talking about. The skin was not pierce-able, they flew in and out of battle almost too fast for us to catch their movements. And they could breathe fire.

No, I have not strayed from dinosaurs. If anyone watched the discovery channel as a child, like I did, they would have seen a special on dinosaurs and how many scientists speculated that certain species had the ability to breathe fire, although whether or not they actually did was still questionable. It stemmed from the discovery of a strange bone in the throat of a dinosaur (although now if you look up "dinosaurs breathing fire" you'll just come across a bunch of bible references...in the future I'll look harder). All of this is basically irrelevant though, because I have had a dream, a prophecy of the future, and in that future is a great threat...

Pterodactyls that breathe fire. Yes, this was my dream. And we were hardly any match for the monsters, and why we had resorted to medieval war attire is still a question in my mind but I'm sure that will be discovered promptly. AND yes, I really did have this dream.

What this dream meant to me was that the future is bleak, and medieval (?) and definitely more than just velociraptors. But the meaning goes deeper...what is the velociraptors' place in our future...when the apocalypse comes, and I do believe it has already started, can my namesake, Alyssa Rides Raptors, become a reality...can perhaps the answer to the apocalypse BE velociraptors.

And so begins the new hope for us...I will go on this quest to discover what my name really means, for the good of mankind, for the very hope of a new era in which humans still exist, for the very monsters we have feared so much...


Velociraptor Apocalypse Begins.

Velociraptor Ate My Roommate

Well, maybe. I'm suspicious that this may have happened.

In other news! According to a recent (and alive, for now) source: Velociraptors drink tea. I'm looking into this. The source may be a velociraptor in disguise, or someone who favors their cause...

As of yesterday: Death toll: Thousands. Velociraptors hiding place: Unknown.

Keep your loved ones close, and your bazooka even closer.

Goodbye Home.

Leaving again. If, after college, I don't pick up my life and move for a span longer than five months I might feel empty. Wish I could stay. Wish winter break was longer.

It is probably better this way though as I am suspicious that the "raptor-ing" has begun in my area. It makes sense for them to strike this new year...this 2011...to bring on the end...

Places have been eerily empty. I went to the beach and I went shopping, I went to a well-known and usually crowded restaurant, I went to one of the largest airports in my state, but there was an absence of people, an absence and a silence.

I could feel the absence in the air, I could taste it. The quietness of usually loud places was more deafening than the usual loudness. Animals were sparse, seagulls stood, staring, uninterested in swooping at food, fighting amongst themselves with nothing edible or use-able in sight. I had been waiting for these signs, was un-alarmed when they presented themselves: after all, it had always ever been simply a matter of time.

So what will you do now...They are coming. They are already here.
