Hells' Playground

A Dream From My Past

I enter a video game world, catapulted into the air, landing on a playground strewn with skeletons.

Beneath the equipment, I discover a box of supplies containing a bag of what appear to be bouncy balls, each marked with a white symbol. I toss one. Later, I learn these balls hold magic. Returning to where I threw the ball, I find more and collect them.

Near the playground, a cave looms. I step inside, and it feels like a portal to Hell. The cave floor is riddled with large holes, through which I glimpse monsters prowling below. Their moans and growls echo as I tread carefully to avoid falling. I step onto a portal, and it whisks me to another part of the cave.

After exploring, I return to the playground and sit at a picnic table. Others are cleaning the area, and I feel a twinge of guilt for not helping, though I lack the energy. Sitting there, I observe the scene. Bryan Cranston approaches a young woman, inviting her for a walk. They leave together. I decide to walk, too, heading toward the state of Washington. Dream ends.

I wake up.
