Right before I woke up this morning 5 minutes before the alarm like I always do I had the weirdest dream that was very easy to remember. It was about a story that I'm fairly sure I've never seen anywhere or thought about before and I thought it was so cool that I need to write it down.
The setting was some sort of zombie apocalypse type situation although my brain never really decided how all of that happened and my character (I say character because I was not myself) had been specially conscripted into a unit of "marines" that was assigned to defend a hospital facility. Although we knew we had to defend the facility we didn't know why this particular facility was so special. Before getting our weapons to go on a patrol we had to pass through a scanner device.
On our patrol making sure that "zombies" didn't come too close to the facility I keep having flashbacks and seeing this white form with multiple nuclei that I never remember having seen before. We encounter nothing however. Everywhere we go the sky is a dark red and it always appears to be near dusk. There is a very large freeway next to the facility but all of the vehicles are like monster trucks. My brain explains that one later.
After returning from our patrol I go outside with a group of civilians to a small "safe zone" that overlooks the freeway and I see that the vehicles are all shaped like monster trucks because they have to drive at high speeds over the top of the zombies because if they were lower than the zombies could swarm the vehicles to stop them. This is the first time I see the "zombies" which are just human looking with dark red skin, animal like nature and incredible strength. One of the vehicles crashes on the freeway but nobody bothers to stop to help. The driver runs toward the facility but a zombie catches him and rips his head off. "Cool!" a kid yells. I laugh thinking about that now.
However, the man moving toward the facility encourages a zombie group to head toward the facility. Although we cannot be touched in the safe zone, we also can't leave it and since I am unarmed I encourage the people to stay put while I radio for help. It isn't a big deal usually because nobody can enter the facility without a keycard. Most of the zombies get tired of trying to figure out how to get us and leave except for two surprisingly sentient ones that move toward the facility. Seeing them brings on more flashbacks about the white blob. Hearing "why is he letting them in" brings me back to reality as I see one of the doctors allowing the sentient zombies into the facility. The first one goes in but the second one raises his hand and the doctor turns to goo. The route now clear and me being needed to stop this new threat we move back into the facility.
Passing through the scanner to get our weapons an alarm goes off as I pass through stating "Black Magic detected". The security guards raise their weapons on me. I think "when did I contract Black Magic" but the machine indicates that the Black Magic was contracted 17 years ago rather than just now and that the origin is the Alabama containment zone, Alabama being the home state of my character. Another flashback shows a facility, a man's picture is shown with "sedative drip at all times" next to it. The white blob is on his head, externally. "Black Magic" is the name for the substance that normally changes people into the "zombies" and is an alien organism. The Black Magic are parasites that take over their hosts and use the hosts to destroy the ecosystem of a planet so they may colonize it. While normal Black Magic is dark red, the white blob is revealed to be a form of Black Magic that has given the man powers beyond the normal super strength but has made him extremely unstable. Doctors walk in and put some needle into the blob and it releases from the man. He instantly dies as Black Magic cannot be removed from the host without killing them. "We can control it" they say and the flashback ends.
I remember back to my troubled childhood, the rumors that a child had destroyed an entire room of people but the government covered it up. How when I got angry at people they contracted illnesses. The unique circumstances that had me stationed at the facility. Men in suits walk up and tell the men to stand down, that I was necessary and that they needed me removed before bad things happened. I realize now that the special form of Black Magic that I saw in the flashbacks was inside me somehow and had gone undetected for 17 years but was now active. However I was still in complete control of myself despite the Black Magic being active.
Realizing that the sentient zombies were likely there because of me, I said that I was needed here. One of the suits comes forward and attempts to grab me but I send him flying with a wave of my wrist. The security guards fire their weapons but the bullets simply bounce off of me and I send them flying as well. The remaining suit says into his radio "Project X is active, send support" before I raise my hand to him and electrify him enough to knock him out. The rest of my marine unit looks at me and asks "You still with us bro". I pause a moment before I say "Yeah, let's kick some ass."
That was pretty much the end of it except for an extra piece right at the end where a guy grabs me and says "Who made you" before I basically kill the heck out of him and face down a number of other people like me.
I thought it was a cool idea and I have no idea where it came from but, it's cool.
