Evening Dreams

City of Nightmares

Roy looked around the city, expecting to find some nightmares. He didn't spot any, so he continued his way down the silent streets. The cars around him were piled up in hills of spare metal. The alleys were filled with bodies and sleeping nightmares. Roy tried his best to keep quiet, but a metal wire gave him away. The nightmares heard the snap of the wire and ran towards the sound. Roy began picking up the pace and was running faster and faster. The next thing he knew was he was in a high-speed chase. The nightmares woke up hungry and began biting towards Roy's direction.

Roy kept running and eventually tripped, he trampled onto the animals and they began biting him. "Ah!" Roy punched one on top of him and got up. He kept running despite his injuries. The nightmares were ruthless and they have admirable perseverance. Roy then grabbed his shard and shot those monsters into the dream-state. Roy ran for a couple hours and eventually exited the city. He made his way to what some call a myth. Some a legend, but its real name is the Mountain of Lords.

The Mountain of Lords is a a place where anyone who enters its grounds never leaves. This mountain has a peak you must cross that is 5,000 miles. Only one person has been known to cross it and that person was Jesus. Roy realized now he had to break his friend out. Roy began running to Ninth Street, where JCSP (Jackson City State Prison) is. Roy walked in and saw dead guards and small fires. He saw that Jesus was on the floor of Cell 201. He was bitten, probably by a nightmare. "Oh shoot. Jesus, Jesus! Wake up!" yelled Roy. He was pushing, shoving, and even kicking Jesus. He wouldn't get up.

"Please Jesus, please!" He pleaded. Roy needed him to cross the mountain. Roy had one last idea, it might hurt him, but it was for humanity. He grabbed his sleeping body and threw it with little power at the wall. Jesus got up. "Ow! What the heck bro?" He scolded. "Sorry Jesus, but I need to get to the Mountain of Lords." said Roy, the glimmer of the shard shined bright in Jesus' eye. "What's that?" He asked. Roy told him about the falling sky and nightmares roaming the streets of Jackson City. "So, your telling me this bite on my leg is from a humanoid flesh eating monster from space?" said Jesus, putting Roy on the spot. "Yep. Pretty much." Jesus almost fainted, but Roy caught him.

"Not so fast, buddy. You're my one way ticket to Washington." "What?!" Roy told him about the president's speech. "Wait if we need to go to Washington we'll need to cross... th-the." "Mountain of Lords... yeah. Lets go!"
