Horror 101

I dreamed that TAB and I took a wrong turn getting home to Cambridge from Boston. We ended up at a big high rise construction site. The workers were still tearing down the old building so we were constantly looking up so’s we wouldn’t end up like the Roadrunner's Coyote.

We then noticed the gang of mechanical gargoyles and Terminator like men unfolding, standing up and stretching. Why were they at the site? They’d be ornamental roof fixtures for the new sky scraper. They'd also  act as roof gutters to redirect rainwater away from the new building’s walls so there’d be less damage to the masonry and mortar and shit. Yeah, mostly ornamental and scary as all hell. They were 12 feet tall with the men looking like AHnold in the first Terminator. The gargoyles? Those fuckers are, just generally, fearsome. Hell, these boys'd just scare the water away!

 So, TAB and I are totally lost now and the big bad, mechanical assholes have just noticed us. For some reason we’d gotten out of Bix and were trying to find our way out on foot. Yep, WRONG.

Rule number one from Scary Movie 101—NEVER get out of the car.

By the by, Horror Movie 101 also includes:

• NEVER wear high heels. Also, if you can, have short hair like Velma, NOT Daphne!
  
• Do NOT bring along clumsy chicks who are just gonna slow you down (see above, NO high heels).
  
• Do NOT go into rooms or houses at night when the electricity isn’t working.
• Don’t ignore scratching noises.

So yeah, we’d left the car behind. The huge nasty robots had found Bix and started playing soccer with it. Our future looked bleak. Then I woke up. Thank the little baby Bast. Fuck, that was a scary dream. It felt so damn real.

What’s this all mean? Possibly:

• I’m watching too many nerve crunching movies.
• The brace and walker are making me feel like I’m a mechanical man.
• I’m reading too many scary books.
• Like Blind Faith I can't find my way home.
