the streets were absolutely dark not a bit o light coming from anywhere or so i thought, i heard that in the darkest dark that there is always light, i caught a bit of light coming from some where behind a building and started toward it, as i walked closer to what i perceived to be light i realized it was the glow from a neon coco cola sign that was flickering on and off inside the building, no one was on the streets but me that seemed a bit strange, i continued to walk down the middle of the dark streets hearing my own breathing and footsteps, where the hell am i? what city is this? where is everybody?, i know i have been walking for at least a half hour and not a soul in sight, my heart started to beat a bit faster, and i noticed i had started walking faster, why i really didn't know i heard a loud noise sounded like a bomb had just exploded and i started to run, run down the middle of the streets and there was no one but me running, i ran behind a building wound up in the ally way behind the building, out of the dumpster jumped two cats chasing each other, i leaned up against the dumpster, shaking like a leaf and took several deep breaths, asked myself what the hell are you running from or to, i am thirsty i need some water, no water in sight, where the hell is every body? i walked out of the ally way into the empty streets again, still no one insight. I started to wonder where am I what is happening? Alter where are you i need you come quickly please. no response. i kept walking rapidly some time slowly some time, sometimes running again, i hear my own voice telling me to calm down, breath deep, calm down breath deep. Slightly ahead of me i see what appears to be a big dog, then the figure changes into a big cow, then a big something i really can't tell what a human, an ape, a big animal of some sort, i think for a minute just keep walking as though there is no one there, maybe it's may imagination playing tricks on me, maybe just the shadows of light and dark playing tricks on me, i get closer to the figure and must make some judgement of what to do and how to do it, maybe I'll call out, maybe i won't, maybe i should start walking in another direction, that would surely show fear, me alter shows up, showing fear is not always a bad thing she said, i know i know i responded, but what should i do? stop she said just stop, right now, but i could not stop i must go on to see what it is i don't see, so i kept walking and as i walked what i thought was closer to the figure the figure began to disappear right before my eyes. I got closer and as i got closer i discovered that there was no figure there. what the hell was that i about i thought to myself. I pasted several old buildings that were dark and empty, so i thought, just as i got past one of the building i heard a window open and a sloshing noise, i looked up and out of one of the windows in the building came what seemed to be an ocean of water,as though a flood gate had been open, the streets begin to fill rapidly with water and i realized that the water was moving swiftly toward me, i saw what appeared to be snakes swimming toward me along with some alligators and what looked like dogs, i turned to run the other way but there was water coming from that direction also, then the rains started, i didn't know what to do, i started to scream but my voice would not come out, i saw a tree and thought i could climb up in the tree maybe until this passes, i started up the tree and just as i was about to lift both my feet off the ground i saw four set of red eyes looking at me from the tree, i open my mouth to say something i don't know what when something swiftly darted past my head and jumped to the ground, i heard myself scream and i was screaming to the top of my voice, when someone said hey WAKE UP.
i was asleep? no. was i asleep? am i asleep now? quien sabe?
