At one point I treated the events of the party like a TV series, feeling like I had missed the first season of whatever it was because I was missing little bits of information, like why this girl hated that guy and whatever. It was weird.
And then eventually everyone started to panic. There was a sense of impending doom spreading like wildfire. I was suddenly aware of the hatred that every other country in the world has for the United States, and we were attached to those states. So we had reason to be worried. I stepped outside into the snowy morning to hear jet planes overhead, and see some warheads flying our way. I ran back inside, because I was fucking terrified, but of course it didn't make any difference.
While running upstairs to get a better look at our impending annihilation, I saw a giant Transformer had appeared, close enough to our house to block my view from all the windows. What a jerk. He started to pound our house, and oh my god we had to get out of here! As we scampered around the robot's feet he was gingerly trying to walk because every time he took a step he slid. Because his feet were made of metal. HAH! Sucker.
It was suddenly dark outside as I ran around hiding behind trees and running into strangers' houses, because they were coming for me! After one particularly intense battle between my machine gun and the robot's lasers, a hatchback filled with trendy Japanese teenage girls slid in front of me and opened the hatch to reveal some totally awesome laser-shooting device that would totally wreck that robot. "Get in!" they yelled, and we skidded off into the cold, dangerous night.
And then I woke up.
