I'm walking in Tonawanda, when suddenly the sky grows dark and a vast thunderstorm strikes. I'm walking over the Youngs Street bridge when this occurs. I start noticing people changing. Faces start to flake and puff up. Skin tone turns to a pale beige color as people turn into some sort of zombie. It is hard to describe what they look like. Imagine someone with 100 layers of paint on their face, and most of it starts to peel. and bubble. I find this rather frightening. I come across a woman, though I do not recognize who she is. She tells the way to escape is to sit underneath a storm cloud, and use the two rings she had in unison. She was wearing one ring- a rather plain silver looking ring- but the other, which looked a lot like my class ring from High School was still off her finger in her hand. She looked at me with a worried face as people around me turned into zombies. She then placed the second ring on her finger, and she vanished in much the same way a hobbit disappears when using the One Ring. Suddenly a pop sounds out and both rings fall to the ground. I pick them up and start scanning for a nearby storm cloud.

I pick them up. I look around and all around there is destruction. Buildings on fire, cars crashed in the street. I have the feeling that these flaking zombies are dangerous but none of them attack me. I continue to look for a storm cloud. Just then a friend of mine from the training at work shows up, running to me. He is clearly upset at the events going on, and is pretty nervous. I explain to him that I know how to escape but I'm wary of how to do it. He points to the Youngs Street Bridge and suggests we try jumping across the broken section. I look at him and then look at the gap in the bridge. A rather dubious claim, to be able to jump it. I tell him I'd probably not make it, but he tries to do it himself. He runs, jumps, and only manages to catch the edge. I watch as he tries to pull himself up but he falls uselessly into the Tonawanda River. Can't say I didn't warn him.

I move on westward when I see a storm cloud thundering on the other side of the river. I am joined by a few normal humans whom I do not recognize. They instantly acknowledge me as the leader of the group. I am not attacked right away by any zombie(could it be the power of the rings?), but some of the members of my entourage do get attacked- and they are easily fought off. The crud zombies are stretchy- you can punch them but their bodies stretch to ease the blow. A trick one of my followers learned is to grab an incoming arm with one hand, hold the chest with the other, and stretch the arm of the zombie and then let go, causing the zombie to fly away like a stretched rubber band. This method seems very effective, and zombies fly away from our group. We notice that the attacks start to increase and even I have to defend myself often.

We come to the Delaware street bridge across the Tonawanda River. It too has a gap. We are all about to jump it, when I realize that the river is very shallow here. Knowing this, we all walk across the river with ease.

When we reach the other side I still see the storm cloud thundering and I stand still. I know this is my chance to leave this dreadful place. My entourage continues to fight off zombies as we near the storm cloud center. Just then, I meet up with an odd fellow. Much like an American playing a British king in medieval times, this man is so out of place it grates at me. He looks to be a normal guy, but he's angry and he appears to have some control over the zombies. He demands I give the rings to him. I tell him no and then he laughs and tells me, "Good luck getting out alive!" And the zombies flood in at us. My entourage fights valiantly, and I alongside them. Zombie after zombie we take out but they still keep coming. Someone shouts, "Use the ring!" and I dare not- I fear its power and wonder if it is as dangerous as the One Ring. Finally, surrounded and with no hope of escape, most of my entourage defeated, I slip on the silver ring. Nothing happens. I look above me and see the storm cloud. I slip on the other ring and suddenly I know I'm invisible. All around me zombies stare but do not attack. The hand that has the class ring(the Ring of Power?) weighs down so much it hurts. It is very difficult to raise my hand to my chest, but I manage it. My hand aches with pain. I wonder why I haven't escaped yet, and suddenly, I pop and I know I'm no longer where I was. Where I went to I don't know. And then,

I wake up.
