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.
