I had an interesting dream last night. I’ll sum it up with what’s left in my fading memory of it.
The world had gone to poop. Everything was left to slums. It was almost as if most of humanity had already moved on and left Earth to rot with its underprivileged.
There was an alien presence upon the earth. They offered health and education and occasionally collected slaves. Their presence had been known for generations and only certain groups (gangs) were feared by humans.
I was captured into slavery with Morgan and my two friends Sarah and her boyfriend Allen. It wasn’t a bad thing though. We felt almost as if we had been saved from the diseased slums and brought into a civilized working class.
We were taken aboard a housing ship and Morgan and Allen worked for the “Ship” <-like working for the State) and Sarah and I were sold to the same individual. I cleaned and Sarah cooked for them and made sandwiches and games for their children.
The aliens looked like really pale humans but had strange waterless bathroom and sink facilities (made it really hard to clean without water and soap).
We worked a full day and were left free to roam. We were limited to everything their children were limited to. Morgan hated it. He hated them. I was afraid he would murder one and get killed himself.
Very awesome dream! I would love to build a short story around this concept my sleeping conscious conjured up.
