Tsunami - 2015-09-15 - Entry 1404 - TOGoS's Journal

Dreamt that I lived in some seaside town.
Shaina and I were still together and she was like a nurse for the Navy or something.
One day I looked out the window and the water level was all low,
and I was like 'ruh roh'.
I managed to build a big pile of cement blocks in a corner.
I found Shaina getting off work down by the shore,
and by this time I could see a big wave on the horizon.
She was asking me what I thought about some cheesecloth or something, but I was all like
"That's not important.  There's a tsunami coming and we need to get to higher ground."
and she was like "okay", and we went to the room with the cement block pile.

The wave came and went most of the way up the cement block pile,
but not all the way to the top.
That was close, I thought.

Then I saw that there was a second, much bigger wave on the horizon.
I realized that a better design would have lots of holes for the water to pass through.
We didn't have much time, but I didn't have any better ideas,
so I tried to get the other people in the room to help me build a better structure
to stand on.
These cement blocks were just little annoying hard-to-stack things, though.
The wave was coming and we didn't have enough time to build anything better,
so we all went to the top of the old structure.
I realized that since the whole thing was built up against a corner of
a room in my house it wasn't going to be able to protect us.

"All us first worlders with our money and our internets,
but that doesn't protect us when a giant wave's coming"
I thought, as I tried to pull myself up into the ceiling.

The wave came and very quickly destroyed the house and everyone in it,
and the dream was over.
