Seriously though, it might be a bit disturbing.
It began as five of us in a car at a McDonald's drive through in the middle of the night. I was driving with Nathan in the passenger seat, and Arthur in the back with two of his friends from mac (not actual people from real life, but yeah.). We pulled up to the giant speaker menu thing that drive throughs always have.
"How may i help you?" spoke a pleasant girl's voice. As we tried to put in our orders, there was a crackle of static and the microphone stopped working. We didn't want to miss out on our cheeseburgers so we drove right up to the window.
I remember being a little surprised when the teller at the window ended up being a 300 pound man who looked something like an ogre. His beard was all tangled and had bits of french fries and cheese in it. Really disgusting. I bet in real life i made the same disgusted face i made in my dream.
"Hey, can we have uh... an extra-salty cheeseburger with extra cheese and a condensed milk coffee?" (I don't know what an extra-salty cheeseburger is, but i remember that being the exact order i made in the dream... It was Nathan's order, gross Nate.)
"Fuck off, i'm watching porn"
At first, we chuckled at what we thought was his idea of a joke; everyone knows ogres have bad senses of humour. But then we realised.... he was serious. He actually planned to not serve us because he was... preoccupied. I don't know why we still wanted him to serve us food, seeing the extreme opposite state of sanitation he was in. But we persisted. Nathan pulled out his cell phone and leaned over me to catch the ogre red-handed.
"You'd best get us some food or your manager's going to see what you're doing at work... and by the way *points to the screen*, 'Milfs and Cookies' is a let down, i've already seen it."
Arthur followed suit.
The ogre was not pleased. He picked up what i assume to have been a rancid head of lettuce and pegged me right in the side of the head with it. It burst and splattered everywhere in my car. All of the pieces of it started emitting the most disgusting smell that i'd ever smelled, so we got out of the car right away.
Hell no. Nobody throws a rotten lettuce at me and gets away with it. I walked up to the window, ready to give the guy a piece of my mind, but he was gone. At the same moment i heard the roar of a powerful engine starting from behind me. Out of the darkness came a huge monster truck with shark teeth grills, gunning it at full speed right at my car. I caught a glimpse of Arthur's face which was stricken with horror right before he screamed out; "Samantha, move!".
She moved. But she didn't move fast enough, and moments later, what lay before me was my once beautiful car which now looked like it had been through a giant blender, and Samantha who now looked quite similar.
I will pause right here and remind everyone how vividly I dream. During my dreams, i'm always extremely convinced of every occurrence being completely real, and so i can become very much emotionally involved. At this point, if i had been conscious, i would have urinated myself.
The truck stopped, and the ogre hopped out. "Don't fucking bother me." What was extremely disturbing was how widely he was smiling, as if he had just accomplished something. But the smile faded as quickly as the sharp end of a broken sign post was thrust through his chest. He slumped to the ground. Behind his crippled form, Nathan released his white-knuckled grip, dropping the post to the ground.
We all rushed towards the place where Samantha lay, but before we could reach her, something else did. An eight foot tall, demon landed abruptly next to her, folding his giant spiked wings behind him. His tail curled high over his head like a scorpion's, stinger at the ready. Before we could even comprehend what was happening, he began to gag, and from his mouth came a blood red centipede which took it's place on the back of samantha's neck, digging it's legs into her skin. Her veins began to pulse, visible through her skin, and her body picked itself up, head hanging to the side, and eyes empty.
We must have not noticed, having been hypnotized by what was happening in front of us, but as from behind us, nearly a dozen bodies covered in blood were walking towards us, each with the identical centipede latched onto their bodies.
We all backed away, except Arthur's other friend. She walked towards the crowd, veins pulsing heavily. Her eyes were filled with fear as she screamed. "It's controlling me!". The bodies continued their advance, and the friend continue to whimper, trying to regain control. Before long, the three of us found ourselves backed into a corner.
The crowd split, and the demon approached us, his tail waving, and his wings spread. "You should not have come. There is no hope".
I stood up, fists raised, though i knew there was nothing i could do, and scared shitless. A hand appeared on my chest, as Arthur pushed me back. He quickly nodded to Nathan, and then leaped straight at the demon. The tail flashed through the air striking Arthur in the stomach, and with a grunt, he fell to the ground. As the demon tried to remove his tail, Arthur grasped it, and held tight with all of his might. He only delayed the removal for a split second, but long enough to render him vulnerable. Nathan, with the reattained sign post, plunged it into the demon's neck. As the demon fell, he flicked his tail, which met with Nathan's back.
The centipedes exploded, and the bodies they controlled keeled over. I was surrounded by bodies, and i was all alone.

I woke up crying this morning, and shaking like mad. Arthur and Nathan are my heroes.
