shanmonster | The Dream

I'm flying a spacecraft with

f00dave when we receive a distress call. It's around the other side of an invisible neutron star. We fly around the star and rendezvous with a strange-looking craft. It's somewhat coffin-shaped. We land our ship on theirs, and all of a sudden small magnetic mines begin affixing themselves to us and exploding. The sensation of their explosions is something like poprocks.

Finally the mines stop exploding, and we contact the people within the ship. They need us to join them in their ship. As we watch, they open their hatch. It opens like a can of sardines, only it's sealed with chewed-up bubblegum. I'm amazed there's no decompression. Inside the ship are several clowns in gaudy makeup and floppy shoes. They are holding their breath until the ship is resealed.

f00 and I crawl into their ship. It's a tight squeeze. We all have to lie down atop one another while the clown captain (with bright red hair) reseals the ship with the gum he's chewing. From the inside, we can see through the top of the ship.

We begin flying, and end up somewhere in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by complete blackness. I don't know if we're seeing the space between stars, or if we're gazing at an invisible neutron star. Then I wake up.
