I was at my high school. Not for school but for some kind of event. I’m with my ex wife Amber. Suddenly the younger students like 3-5th grade who don’t even go to the school start attacking everyone. Children of the corn style. So amber and I start trying to get ourselves out of there. We get outside and people are running around cuz of this crazy storm. Cars being tossed by the wind. Lighting striking everywhere. My friend Amanda who I started dating after my divorce comes running up to us and I grab her and we try loading up on this bus. As we do this reporter guy is trying to ask us questions about the murderous kids inside the school. There is this hellacious sound like some kind of murder horn that goes off all around us and everyone covers their ears. Right then the reporter gets killed by one of the kids and we get on the bus. Once on the bus we speed away and as we’re going there is an accident from the storm and I get thrown hundreds of feet away from the bus. I find Amanda but amber is gone. Never find her. We are so in the middle of nowhere that the best place to find a working vehicle is back at the school. We head back and now everything is calmer. The kids are still psychotic but they’re just shuffling around slowly and barely trying to get to anybody. I go inside hoping to find amber but I can’t find her anywhere. Instead I find my ex girlfriend crystal and when I head back outside Amanda is gone. We get our own vehicle this time and I start driving. After a while our vehicle breaks down along with hundreds of other peoples cars and we all start marching together. The murder horn goes off again and everyone covers their ears and looks around for danger but we don’t see anything. We march for days. People get hungry and starve. Then we start walking along this cliff and off in the distance we can see hot air balloons but instead of baskets underneath them there are cars underneath attached to the balloons. For some reason we are terrified of the people in these things so everyone scatters. Crystal and I end up at a college party somehow. The murder horn sounds again and this time right as it goes off I turn to check on Crystal and she falls down. Suddenly there is this guy with bombs strapped to his chest smiling and about to hit the button. Everyone starts panicking. Crystal is still either dead or blacked out and a girl who Iv had the biggest crush on of my life named Brookelynn comes running to me terrified and not wanting to die. I grab her and we dart out a window and everything behind us explodes. We run until we reach a bar that’s packed with people. We go in and I keep squeezing Brookelynns hand so nothing happens to her. The murder horn goes off again and everybody ducks down holding their ears. When I stand up Brookelynn and most of the people in the bar are gone. There’s a small group of people sitting at one table. I turn and look at them wondering where everyone else went. No one at the table is facing me. A girl I don’t know gets up with strange movements, then turns around facing me with an unsettling smile. She’s beautiful but looks like she wants to hurt me. She saunters over to me and gets real close to me. Almost like she’s about to kiss me. She’s got her hands on my arms and opens her mouth and that murder horn sound starts coming out. This murder horn sound comes out of this girls mouth getting louder and louder until it feels like it’s going to kill me. Then I woke up.
