Dreaming in Digital

My parents came to visit. They also wanted to help me while there. I had just finished cooking lunch, when i noticed all of my baby's bags were missing. Frantic, i asked my parents who said they threw them away in a far dumpster. Cookie saw my trouble and asked what happened. I told him and we went out looking for baby's things. As I climbed into my forst dumpster, Cookie called a small group of people he knew to help.

When I climbed into my next dumpster, some of Cookie's friends victoriously ran to us. They have found the bags. I felt overjoyed and relieved.

20250412 Cookie and i met Peach, Tomato, Persimmon, and Cherry near Square One when the sky suddenly became as dark as night and rain torrentially poured from an angry heaven. We said we should find shelter and had differences about where to go. Peach and Tomato decided it's best to go home to their tall skyscraper, but i mentioned Fort ???. We hopped into two vehicles and headed our separate ways, ours driven by Persimmon with Cherry and Cookie.

As we raced there, lightning in numerous beams crashed all around us, razing the skyscrapers to the ground with each strike. Their long, white-hot fingers splayed farther and wider with each thunderous boom. I was scared and sad to see the world destroyed.

When we reached the fort, others had the same idea. We bunkered in the safe rooms below as we waited for the clashes and flashes to end. I can't tell how long we hid, but the final strike did occur. When it was safe, we emerged from hiding to the raised ground floor. The world was flooded up to the edge, just under the window line. We had chosen the right building and survived.
