In the dream, I'm floating through space. Floating through something I think is space. Beyond earth or any other planets I've ever seen before.

I float beyond our galaxy, to somewhere distant and far away. Somewhere darker, more eerie feeling.

The planets around here all look  black and have various amounts of debris floating around them. There is a small sun, which is surrounded by so much trash that you can barely see it's normally bright rays.

In the space I go down to one of the planets. Curious as to what happened here, I slowly float down, examining the garbage that I have to push through in order to land.

Then I see that this is earth. The surface is littered with human skeletons and all their garbage. I'd thought I went to a far away galaxy, but apparently I already was at a far away galaxy, and was no just returning home.

"Hello?" I called out. "Is anyone here?" No one replied. I kept walking.

"Is anyone here?" I continued to call out as I walked by broken homes and tattered streets, I was barely able to move through their mounds of garbage as I had to step on many people's cars in order to get by.

Then I see a hand reach up through the garbage. "I'm here!" I shout, running over observe that it's the hand of a fellow skeleton. This must mean that monsters are no longer trapped underground. This must also mean that we helped the humans destroy the earth.

I dig through the trash, quickly throwing things aside to try to get to the person. They're breathing heavily, and as I uncover more of their body I soon realize that it's Blue.

"Blue!" I exclaim, surprised to see him. He's completely uncovered now. I pull his body up into my lap.

"Error?" His eyes look unfocused. He has a massive cut across his chest.

"It's me Blue." I say softly. "I'm going to help you."

"It's too late." He coughs. "I'm dead. Everyone is dead."

"I'm not dead." I state. He points to my chest.

"Yes you are." He spirals into another coughing fit as I look down at my chest to see a large hole as my fragile code begins to unravel and erase itself, like some sort of virus is trying to delete me.

Blue looks at me with an expression of pain in his eyes, as though I'm no more than a flashback. I turn to him, kissing him one more time before I'm deleted.

I wake up screaming and Blue has to hold me down.

"Calm down, calm down, what happened!" He asks, eventually I notice that I'm not in that nightmare world anymore. That this is reality.

"I just had a bad dream, sorry." I apologize, embarrassed.

Blue rubs my back. "Are you okay now?"

I nod.

"Wanna go grab something to eat?" I nod again.
