Michelle and I are in my bedroom packing for a trip. We are talking about our trip to Japan. I look at the flights and realize our flight leaves at 4AM! I check the clock and realize it's 3 and that we have to be boarded in an hour. I tell Michelle we have to hurry and get going so we don't miss our flight. Michelle says she has to take a quick shower (which we all know won't be quick). I am annoyed because I paid for our trip and don't want to lose all that money.
I knock on the bathroom door and tell Michelle that we need to go now. She says she'll be out soon. I check the clock and see it's 4:15. I call Otis and ask what the odds are of our plane still boarding passengers. He tells me it wouldn't hurt to just go down there on the off-chance it was delayed. I groan but agree. Michelle FINALLY walks out and says she doesn't want to go because she has morning sickness. Confused, I ask if she's pregnant. She laughs and says no, she just has morning sickness symptoms according to her doctor (so just being sick I guess??) I am aggravated at this point and tell her I just need to leave for a few hours to cool off. I decide to go to Walmart (funny because Otis would definitely do this).
I browse the board game aisle. I see an oversized version of CandyLand. I know Robert wouldn't like to play it with me because he isn't a fan of board games but I really want to play it. I tell myself it might be a way to make amends with Michelle. Suddenly, the ground shakes and the atmosphere becomes cold. The lighting becomes an orange-red almost as if the place is on fire. A group of men about my age run up to me. One of them, a guy I call Colin who is apparently the owner, tells me to round everyone up. I ask him if he knows where the cages are. He tells me they're located by the bicycles. I yell for everyone to follow me. Suddenly...I see it...
I large robot bird with sharp, almost knife-like feathers arises from a pit. It has bright red eyes and a long neck. Its head reminds me of the bird hat creature from Labyrinth. It spits acid that kills a group of people. I run to a chain-link cage the size of a baseball infield that has multiple latches on the top and sides. One of the men from the group earlier climbs to the top with me to make sure the top is secure and hurry people into the cage. I close it and tell people that the cage is acid proof. I tell people to lay down and clear their mind. Apparently this bird creature can manipulate thoughts and levitate people. We all lay down and the bird lifts us all up as a group and gently sets us back down. I see Whoopi Goldberg run to the cage and tells us to let her in. In tears, I tell her we can't because it would put everyone else in danger. I apologize and tell her that I want to, but I can't. The bird sees her and spits acid on her. I watch as her body instantly disintegrates.
