Anne: Dinosaurs and Danny DeVito


I am with Robert, a coworker AR, Michelle, and a large group of survivors. We are in a giant mansion where all of us are employed. The exterior of the mansion looks old and abandoned. The foyer resembles the one at Marie and Otis' house. There are multiple floors with secret tunnels. The mansion has the ability to jump through space and time. All of us gather in the foyer. There are about 50 of us in total. I am concerned how all of us are fitting in here! The mansion comes to a jolt and we step outside onto a large balcony. A guy points at a group of Stegosauri in the distance. I see a velociraptor on the railing and corral everyone back into the foyer. I panic and ask "Did we travel to the cretaceous period?!"


A man nods his head in concern. I gather a small band of people to go to the other side of the mansion. We must go through a courtyard to get there. Robert, AR, an old couple in matching blue polos (think as touristy as possible), a teenage girl, and a 20-something year old man who resembles Brendan Fraser head towards the other side of the building.


Some time elapses and we are in the first room of the west wing. The room has a giant fireplace with a red couch in front of it. It's almost like a pit with stairs that lead to normal flooring. There is a single bathroom that has two doors that are far too close together. When you open one, you can't open the other (my old apartment had this layout. Very annoying!). There are large french doors covered by green curtains that lead to another balcony. Large windows line the hall next to the room. Brendan Fraser-boy says that the power box is in the auditorium and tells Robert and I to go that while and the rest of the group will head the other way. AR is annoyed and wants to come with us. Robert rolls his eyes but agrees for him to come with us. AR sits on the couch and tries to start a fire. Robert tells me that we should leave him here but I get upset because I'm afraid the dinosaurs will eat him. AR remarks on the bathroom. I tell him to hide in there and we'll be right back, but he insists on joining us.

Robert, AR, and I got to the courtyard and there are dinosaurs EVERYWHERE. I see a waterfall blocking the auditorium entrance. We make a run for it because I'm worried about velociraptors. There are black walls and black pits guarded with black grates (almost like what you would see in a coliseum). I see buttons on the opposing wall next to a dumbwaiter. I go to push a button and Robert tells me to be careful. I press one and go down the dumbwaiter. I see trash bags and try to shove them into little compartments that form a trash shoot. I come back up and Danny DeVito approaches with an older boy from my high school NT. NT is required to go down a ladder and check the dumbwaiter machinery. NT gives me a wink and I look at him in disgust.

Danny DeVito walks over in a regal robe with sparkly shoes and a king's crown. He hands me 8 small, fuzzy mice. I normally don't like mice but these are very cute. He tells me their names: Sparky, Frizzled, Martha. The others do not have names apparently. He opens up one of the cages in the coliseum and a skunk and honey badger come out. He tells me to feed the mice to them. I get upset because he has named them and I have held them. It seems inhumane. Robert yells at him and tells him to stop upsetting me. I beg king Danny to not make me do this. Robert offers to do it, if it has to be done. He is very angry that king Danny has made me so upset. Danny DeVito scoffs and tells me that if I can't do it, then I'm not a true leader. I must do it in order to get things working again.
