Daniel and I are playing the remastered Pirates of the Caribbean Online and I remark at how detailed the environment is. The plants and grass look almost real. I say that it looked good before but felt unnatural and boring. We go into some sort of cave. I’m pushing a very heavy mine cart full of gold through the tunnel despite knowing we won’t need it in there and I should just come back for it. We get to a flooded mining cavern. I see fools gold laying around so I decide to pick it up. I grab several pieces and to a platform that begins to quickly sink into the water. I grab onto another platform to try and climb on but it isn’t very buoyant and is under water. Things begin to grab my legs and try to pull me under. They appear to be skeletons. I tell for Daniel to help me so he tries pulling my arm onto the half submerged platform. It isn’t going very well and I tell him to try something else. I wake up but don’t check the time.

I am watching television in some sort of foyer. Mom and Chell come in while there’s this weird scene of a cartoon pig running and jumping over obstacles in a side scroller-est style. She asks me why I’m watching a kids cartoon and I explain that this is only a weird part and that most of the show is live action. We continue watching for awhile and it switches to a farmers market with mud and grass and dirty people everywhere. A pig runs through the scene into the grass and Rachel comments that it’s just like the cartoon.

Me and Daniel robbed a merchant and stole a large amount of gold coins. We went there in the pretense of selling daggers and something in boxes but instead we brandished the daggers and put the money in the small empty wooden lock boxes. I asked the merchant what he wanted most when he got home and he said a steak dinner. I said well since we stole the money it was now ours and if we happened to throw a coin into the bushes there would be nothing stopping someone from finding and keeping it. I threw one of the smaller coins and he frantically searched for it. Mom commentated that that was a lot of work to save $4.30 but I told her it was actually several hundred dollars since this was old times. We escaped and went to Adams house. It was the middle of the night so I locked the front door behind us. We went upstairs and as I did, I saw Adam’s bedroom door open to let River in. We sat down and began dividing the money. All the coins had different designs. One was a fire breather and Daniel asked me to check if he was breathing. I asked how I would know that and he made his mouth into a shape like someone breathing out. I looked really closely and saw that the fire breather was doing the same and that there were very worn flames coming out of his mouth. Daniel got that coin. I noticed Daniel had been giving me the lighter coins so I took a heavy one with the depiction of a beautiful goddess on it to even out. We got through sorting the biggest of the coins when Daniel comments “Don’t you people ever shower?” I say that I did shower and sniff myself. The smell isn’t me. I look around and see a dead body’s head sticking out of the doorway of the next room. I jump up and grab the nearest weapon which is some kind of long metal stand. Daniel mentions that Adam knew we were coming because he had informed him. I say that I don’t think this was Adam’s doing. Daniel panics as he says there’s another corpse behind the couch. He wants me to look but there’s no way I’m doing that. I tell him we’re getting out of here. We go to leave but I tell him that we need to grab the money. We frantically scoop up all the coins and shove them into our pockets. As we are doing so, Daniel says to me “I recognize that corpse, it’s Daisy. The woman we fed earlier.” (Apparently we fed a homeless person after we robbed the place.) I almost feel bad that we probably got her killed because I know I should but I don’t actually feel anything. We finish taking the coins so we dash out of the room and down the stairs. I jump over the bannister of the first set of stairs and expect Daniel to do the same but he doesn’t. He runs down them and is too far behind, it’s going to get him. I run down the second set and across the living room to the door. I fumble with the small finger turn lock and curse that I locked it. I get it unlocked and we sprint across the yard and to my silver Cadillac. I unlock the doors as we run and Daniel gets in through the passenger door as I, in a great state of panic, tell him to urgently open the drivers door so I can get in. I jump in. We quickly lock the doors and check the back seat (I’m still brandishing the stand). We’re clear so I hit the gas to get out of there. I Wake up, my heart racing. I check my phone, it is just after 5pm.
