I was with my husband and we were staying with an affluent single father with three children, twin teenage boys and a girl about thirteen. The single father was going to introduce us to the neighborhood. It was gorgeous. It was a city built on clear, blue water. Dolphins swam through the water streets. The place was beautiful but my husband and I couldn't go anywhere since the place was so guarded.
We had a dinner date with our Fraternity. I woke up late. The dinner date was at 8pm at a restaurant across town. I woke up at 7:30pm. Jesse and I hurried to get ready and then we left the house with the family we were staying with. It was pouring rain outside. We got into the family's van and they took us to the wrong restaurant.
My husband and I didn't realize it was the wrong restaurant until we got there. The father of the family was a waiter there and he thought he was helping. However, he gave us directions to the restaurant Front Page News that we were supposed to be at. He gave us advice that we should be careful while running from one restaurant to another because if we didn't have a pass, we would be fined ... and heavily.
We successfully snuck over to the restaurant we were supposed to be at. Then, the Fraternity told us that they couldn't be seated until we were all there. One of the members said they wouldn't be there until 9pm and the reservation was for 8pm. Some of the restaurant patrons looked at us while we were eventually seated. I learned that they were lobbyists and reporters. They came over to share a tappas/family style dinner with us. However, the restaurant stopped serving food while we were in the middle of dinner since there were SO many people at the table.
My husband and I realized the time and had to excuse ourselves to meet the family back at the other restaurant. When we got there, we were still starving so we sat with the daughter and ate. The twin boys both applied for a job where their dad worked. There was an arcade game in the corner and the boss said that they couldn't work, it was against policy to work with family, unless you were "linked" to a video game. They both raised their hands which showed intricate tattoos and said they were linked. The boss told them to prove it, so both of the sons stepped up to the video game and played it. They both beat the game after linking up with it and playing it Tron style. So, they were able to get a job working with their father.
My husband and I ate the food and had great conversation with the family. Then, we went back to their house to change since the rain soaked us through.
Part of this blog is my dream blog that I plan on converting to short stories. I have random dreams that are strangely detailed. I have also added short stories that I have in progress along with some poetry I have written. Any feedback is welcome!

The Zombie Titanic
I was tasked along with 8 other people to be on board of the titanic. What no one was meant to know is that the bottom of the super ship carried zombies, demons from hell who fed of flesh and would infect you if they could. We were being punished and being made to take this ... things ... to the middle of the ocean and to drown them. However, the owners didn't tell us how many that they had on board. The zombies were all in the lower cargo bays. The eight of us made our passage down there to the zombies. One of the guys I was with was like a snake charmer. He saw someone grab my leg and I jerked. He told me to relax, and then he sang his chanting song. The arm let go of me. This guy smiled at me and told me he was the zombie whisperer. I was too in awe to argue with him. We still had a LONG way to go. Two of our team got away from us. A mother and her daughter, both of Asian descent.The daughter had the mother's wallet and life is nothing to them without money. The daughter got to the top of the ship and threw the wallet into the deep blue surf. No more wallet. The mother his her knees in anguish and cried.
More to come!
