So guys

Apparently I've watched the Maze Runner series too much because last night I had a dream that I was in that world when the flare virus started. But not only did the virus warp minds and eat away at the person's body, it made them think the only way to get better was to eat people.

And in this dream, I wasn't at my own house irl but I knew I lived there. I don't think there was anyone I saw in the dream that I know irl, so my "family" in the dream were different than my family irl. Anyway, people that got the virus were always locked in the basement of the house they lived in. So I went into the basement, not knowing what was going on at first. There was a guy down there. I knew he was someone in my family, but I never clarified that. All I know is that he wasn't my father in the dream.

So this guy looked awful. The skin on his face sagged, he was way too thin to be healthy, his eyes almost sank back into his head. It was gross. There was black liquid coming from his mouth, and dream me realized 'holy crap I can't be down here.' I bolted out and closed and locked the door behind me.

The dream skipped around a bit for a while, but I remember going back down in the basement to find both of my parents dead along with someone I didn't know. But the sick guy was still alive.

I ended up getting the virus. I guess some people could handle it better than others, because I was fine. I just had some trouble with anger issues that I'd never had before. I hung out with my one friend a lot (again, I don't know him irl). He didn't know I was sick. Anyway, for some reason we decided to go across the street to one house that looked terrible. We knew people lived there, but they weren't taking care of the house. We'd seen kids in the yard, and they always looked healthy.

So, being dumb, we went in through the basement. There was a boy. He was sick. He was awake. We ran up the stairs to the main part of the house. There were four other kids. It didn't take me long to realize: 'these kids are like me. They're sick but they're like me.'

They were so angry. They made us leave. Then I was in a different perspective; I think I was seeing things through one of the kid's eyes. And the rest of it was weird but it freaked me out.
