Flying Bubble-Gum Chewing Vampires

I was a vampire in a group of vampires, the territory of which a new vampire had entered. He possessed some bubble-gum, which I tried. One of the kinds made one fly, and I liked it much better than my Juicy Fruit.

I resolved to get some of this gum. The new vampire evidentially wanted to fight but we never got around to it.

Later, I was in a gaming store and saw a display of similar packages to the new vampire's bubble gum, but they were odd edible balls. I then picked up some darkly wrapped 'Saved by the Bell' gum, which came in many flavors and was near the register. The people with me called for me to come as I poked through the flavors, so I quickly purchased a medium size pack of orange.

Attack of the Alien Plants

My family and I were standing on top of a large 3-cockpit bomber which was falling from the sky. I figured that it was an friendly plane, but Dad pointed out that it had been shot at. I tried to look at the crew inside but saw noone.

One of the cockpits, having been shot all the way around, fell off, descending rapidly. We knew we would be safe, however, because two thirds of the plane were still there to cushion our fall.

As soon as the cockpit that had broken off landed many thin, alien plants began to grow very rapidly. They could launch damaging spores at you, as well as attack with their limbs. I knew I had seen them before, and remembered reading about them in a book by Asimov. I had a plasma pistol and spent some time running around, avoiding and fighting the plants.

(I didn't really read any such book.)

Conductors of Flight

I was sneaking around on the top of a construction housing a very exclusive community on it's top. There were desks lining the edges as well as various other features.

The building was constructed such that if you held two pieces of the proper metal in each hand, you would be charged with an energy allowing you to fly. I knew this as I had been here and flown before. This time I needed to fly so that I could escape as it was illegal to be on or around the platform without permission.

I grabbed two paperclips from someone standing near a desk, thinking them to be the proper metal, and jumped over the edge, hoping to fly before I hit the ground. I did not fly, but somehow I landed safely.

I then started unscrewing screws and testing them out, soon possessing a pocketful without any proper conductors.

Cards, Giants, and Cameras

I was visiting a friend's house to play a game of cards; evidentially a very long one, as I had brought much baggage. We were to do this in a special card-playing room, separate from the rest of the house.

After a bit of getting settled and putting all my stuff in one room which ended in a black pit, I heard him saying something about the winner getting to select something from the other person's things. Having not known this before, I dashed off to exchange some of my things with things from the main house and get some snack foods.

I spent some time there, and was alerted that if I wasn't there soon my friend was going to abandon the game. Dashing off a bit after that warning, I discovered that the cobblestone bridge which had lead to the house was gone. Somehow it had been broken, the floor was out for most of it's length, and the far end had disappeared altogether.

I asked a passerby if my friend was still over there and they said no. I went downhill a bit to the little train which ran parallel to the bridge. Getting on, I sat next to a pair of giants. They said that they were grateful, and that most people made a point of not sitting near them. There was another giant in the seat in front of us.

In addition to size, they appeared to have unusual skin and air color, and their hair came out in odd spikes and poofs. White and a cracked-looking light cream appeared common colors for their hair and skin respectively.

After getting off of the train I saw that it dropped you off at a very different place than the bridge did, and that I was inside a city. I entered a small chain restaurant, called something like Travelers, that I had been in before to eat, and discovered that it appeared to be much poorer than the one I had patroned. Here, they only had one dish to offer, and the only condiments were salt and pepper. In addition, the walls were very sparse.

After my meal I walked down the street, looking around and taking many pictures. While trying to get a picture of a cool view down a street, I had some trouble with the controls, and parts of the dial for changing modes appeared to have worn off. The camera wouldn't stay in one mode between powering ups either. Soon it was dark, changing the picture dramatically.
