HELP! I'm trapped in a dream loop 😵💫.
It's a dream I've had before... it's last time that I saw Dad. But
this time something feels different.
I keep trying to speak to Dad but that only restarts the dream...
Maybe you can help me!
So the dream starts... I walk through a long hallway and then I see
Dad...
He’s scrubbing something in the sink— I call out to him— he doesn’t
respond...
Suddenly, he rushes out of the room...
If I chase after him, the dream restarts again.
I’ve tried everything, and I’ve realized I need to do something in
this room before I’m allowed to wake up. I've found:
a) Squirrel Statue
b) The Bubbling Sink
c) The Box of Tarot cards
A vote was conducted on Twitter, and on 5/25/22, the community decided:
Part 2
We’re now locked in a staring contest. The Squirrel Statue doesn’t
do anything, but I know he's watching me...
Back and forth. We stare. He's mocking me.
Suddenly HE THROWS AN ACORN AT ME!!!?? WHAT IS GOING ON?
”Eislyn. Eislyn, I’m right here. Why aren’t you listening?”
Who does this Squirrel thing think he is? I rush over to pick up the
statue — BOOM —
What happens next, I can’t explain. A series of moments flash before
me.
Visions of a Squirrel colony’s despair, anger, dreams, and joy.
I see a battle. A celebration. Then a powerful looking mage.
The statue says to me, “Daughter of Cillian? Can you help us against
the Corrupted?”
The Corrupted? I want to say yes. These Squirrels have faced so
much.
Suddenly, a portal RIPS open next to me. A pained voice calls out--
"EISLYN!"
... Is that Dad?
Squirrel: "Eislyn, don’t go, we need your help."
Dad: "Eislyn. Hurry. I cₐₙ'ₜ kₑₑₚ tₕᵢₛ oₚₑₙ fₒᵣ ₗₒₙg"
I look at the Squirrels. Then the portal. Then back at the
Squirrels.
Will I be trapped if I stay? Are these Squirrels even real?
I asked Twitter, and on 6/2/22, the community decided.
Part 3
A creepy hand reaches out from the portal swipes at me, misses.
But snatches the Squirrel statue with it before the portal fizzles
out ominously.
Did I dodge a bullet? What could have happened?
"🎺 🎺 🎺"
At that sound, the squirrels around me split and make a path for a
Squirrel Knight they call Lord Jeshk.
He hands me a book, "I was ordered to deliver this to you."
It's Dad's old journal!
I open it... And it’s EMPTY?!?!? 😩 Is this a joke? Because I never
liked reading in school?
Wait, that pen in the spine— am I supposed to write in this?
Before I can finish that thought, I hear: "Eislyn, run!"
I feel a dark energy.
The air changes.
I see a familiar dark creature. He's looking right at me.
The creature starts running. The squirrels form a wall to protect
me.
He gets closer.. And closer.
The book shrinks, I put it in my pocket. I make a run for it.
The dark shape quickly overwhelms the squirrels and reaches me!
I wake up screaming. A horrible feeling still in my body.
I check my pockets... empty. Maybe I’ll get another chance in my
next dream.
It felt like I was so close. Dad... come home soon...
The End
