Jen and I were on our way home. We had no money at all though it has only been a week since the payday. Not a single cent in our pockets. Just enough money to get us home.
Mom was there when we got home. She was nonchalant about our arrival. This is weird, I thought. Looked like she was in a bad mood. I went into my room and beside my wallet was a 500 bill. My mom's purse was there too. I figured she left me money there so I put inside my wallet. Then I saw I still have money inside. Bills of 20s and 50s. I arranged them all in order, excited to get out of the house.
I bathe while Jen was on my bed sleeping. It was almost dark outside. We needed to leave immediately. After the shower I picked up my mom's car keys. Without putting on clothes, wet and with a just a towel on my waste, we got inside the car and Jen hurriedly stepped on the wheels to nowhere. I only had a pair of boxers and undies with me. And the towel of course wrapped around me.
We were driving with no direction in mind. Jen then decided to show me her dad's house. It was dark and sad. The headlight flashed through the unguarded gate and the tall grass which envelopes the background of the unwelcoming house. Then Jen pointed something on the back of the house. Said it was their's.
We took left and Jen suddenly went fast. Then faster. I didn't mind. We were having fun talking. Then my stare went through the glass. The headlight revealed a group of persons walking towards us. The car went faster, almost about to hit them. I immediately took grip of the stirring wheel, making the car turn right where the people are. The headlight uncovered something that sent shivers down my spine, one that covered my whole body. It wasn't human. It was horrible, horrifying. The group of people were human pigs. They have heads like pigs and they were staring back at us with peircing eyes that melted away every courage I had.
Jen didn't notice that. I still have the wheels though Jen had the pedal. Then in the darkness, ahead of us, the headlight revealed yet another entity. But this time it was a lady with shopping boxes on her left and an umbrella on the right. We didn't notice it was already raining.
It was raining so hard and the road was becoming slippery making it hard to hold the stirring wheel in place.
The we spotted a boy talking on his cellphone, nonchalant about the heavy rain. We didn't take much notice of him though the sight was pretty abnormal.
I suddenly remembered the road we were taking. The same road with a deep slide heading to the ocean on the left was the same road I usually have nightmares about. It felt so weird yet so familiar. I have had dreams about this place before, almost every night. And it had been years since I dreamed about it. And its appearance again is quite unusual. Gave me the creeps. I memorized the road by its constant premonition in my dreams. Right ahead is a full curve to the right, or else we would fall to the ocean.
I held the wheel tight and made a forceful turn to the right. I saw the entire scene like I was looking at it from a helicopter. I was still on the seat I was on when I entered the car. Jen was still technically the driver.
I was trying my best to make the curve, but we didn't make it. We fell head on to the ocean. I saw it with my own two eyes.
The next thing we knew we were walking towards the shore, away from that salty water of the ocean. Then suddenly the guy who was with his cellphone came out from our back still talking to his phone, all wet. It seemed like he was with us when we fell. I heard him saying, "Low batt na ako," to whoever he was talking with on the other line. Then he got lost in that dark bushy wilderness.
I suddenly was worried with the car. I looked back to the ocean and I could still see that red car on the bottom of the ocean floor. I asked Jen if we could go back and drag it to shore. I was worried that mom would be so mad at me for stealing the car without her permission. She agreed though we both know it's impossible to do what I had planned.
While we were walking our way, shivering in the cold rainy night, to the car, with the water becoming higher and higher soaking our bodies once again, I saw a car splash down the ocean from the same road we were taking earlier. Only the car came from the opposite direction. It was also red.
Then I heard a loud sound from behind my head. It was my cellphone's alarm. I suddenly remembered I have put the alarm at 5pm.
All was just a dream, a nightmare. And it scared me. A lot. I told Jen about it who was still stretching hard to wake her sleeping muscles and nerves i n her body. As I was telling her what happened, goosebumps appeared every so often especially when I told her about the part where I saw those human pigs.
Until now, I am afraid of that dream. I dunno why I had to dream about it but I did. Maybe it is telling me something. I dunno. Only time will tell. But as of now, that vivid, weird yet familar dream will be marked in my deep consciousness for a long time. A very long time. It was almost real.
Right now, I'm still scared.
