Sic Semper Niveus

It started off with me walking into school again, but the school was no longer school, it was a recruitment company and I was wearing some of suit skirt thing, and told to walk down the corridor, so I did, but I needed the loo, and the only way to get to the loos was to crawl in this tunnel. I don’t know why the tunnel seemed so familar but it did and I carried down it anyway, eventually reaching the toilet, and straightening out. Before I could go, some people I knew came to rescue me which was slightly terrifying on the loo, but we couldn’t get back down the tunnel because you couldn’t bend down to get into it.

They somehow got me out of there, and then the scene flipped and I think I was running away from the school but I burst into a new classroom in my old school, and there was Zani trying to play my flute, so I took it off her and showed her that that wasn;t how you played a note G. Only she was playing the flute like the clarinet, rather then the way you’d play the flute and the teacher recorded on the blackboard what notes I played and gave me a mark for the good notes and said that the other thing I played wasn’t very good at all, but that’s okay cos I was just messing around. Next to me was Jo, who also had her flute thing, and the teacher asked us to play some music that apparently we’d been practising for ages.

The music went G D D B G C or something and I’d never seen it before. She asked Jo to play it, and Jo’s flute wasn’t a flute anymore it was a guitar esk-thang, though you had to blow like you do with a flute, but the notes you had to slide fingers up and down and the strings would whistle when you did, also with a bow, which was rather confusing. She played the piece brillantly, and then the teacher asked me to play it too, but I point blanc refused because I just didn’t know how to do it, and the entire class was watching me, only it was people from my youth when they were all 10-11ish. Next to me was Scott who had a book that said ‘Wrestlemania’ and was also shaped like a Tubla drum, and had a blue bit covered in jewels at the top which said ‘Jesus’. Apparently it was religious wrestling, an instrument that you hit like a drum on both sides, and it then played a religious tune out of it. And he started playing it and it played ‘Jerusalem’ by Matisyahu. I recognised the lyrics because he started singing ‘Jerusalem if i forget you, let my right hand forget what its
supposed to do’ which were from that song. Next to him was Niketa and then Reshma, but I looked forward and there were some music books, with cats and dogs on them.

I ran straight, through the door with my flute/lume in tow, and seemed to burst onto a completely new scene. I think I was in a jungle of forms and someone was saying something about cats and mice, and when I looked forward, I saw Tom from Tom and Jerry sitting on a stool at this bar in the middle of the jungle. I seemed to be hunting rabbits, and I had a gun like Elmer Fudd, and I was apparently hunting Bugs Bunny. There was Jerry and Tom serving on the bar, and I turned around and there was scoobie Doo, I think. I seemed to have been picked up and placed in this massive ‘Mystery Van’ container. Which made me think I was very small, almost like an action figure being put back into its pack, opposite shaggy, velma and daphene who were all very still, made out of wax I think. Someone then shut the Mystery Van container lid and everything went black.

I don’t know what happened inbetween, but the next thing I knew I was pushing the button for the lift, and it was an old type of lift. Inside was Ben from Neighbours and I was simultaneously inside the lift and waiting outside at the same time. As the lift beeped, I walked in and saw Grace who was upset about Dave and said she wouldn’t be able to make my party and was crying or something. I was feeling pretty sympathetic but I walked past her to Ben, and then the lift opened, and soon as it did , I stepped foot into my industralised flat or something where everything was black and grey, and straight into the loo, where I couldn’t stop puking. In the puke were red cells which some voiceover told me were microgoblines from my immune system and I just couldn’t stop puking, and each time some new cell was leaving my body. The kid had run off already.

The scene flipped and I was no longer puking but I was in a mental institute and couldn’t move or anything. (NB: when I woke up, my body felt paralysed, so perhaps this was whilst I was day dreaming and not quite awake) There were cats and dogs from that music room ages ago, and they were real. But they were behaving like children even though they were animals. The last thing I remember was sitting on a picnic table, with frizzy hair, one hand stroking a white cat and the other stroking something equally fuzzy that ran off and I was in the garden, with lots of happy people inside the house at the dinner table in the background around the table, but I was stuck outside on my own in the greyness.

Then I woke up.
