Dream CCXXVI

I was in a resort town, visiting folks.  The town had a very crowded design, lots of buildings very close together and narrow unpaved (or cobblestone) streets, but it was warm and sunny.  Lots of little shops and cafes lining the streets, but with tall buildings all around, though kind of haphazardly laid out.

Then a zombie event happened in the town.  No one knew how, but suddenly, zombies were everywhere, and they were fast moving and intelligent.  It wasn't long before I was bitten several times and felt I was turning, but I was able to resist as I kept on the move.  There were a lot of dogs running around, and I got the idea they were trying to help people.

I would go from street to street, building to building, sometimes hiding in attics or basements.  Incredibly, the tourists seemed not to notice; they were out in force and the town was doing great business in its restaurants and attractions.

Finally, a yellow rain began to fall over the town, which transformed the zombies into sad, despairing people who had lost their souls.  The rain itched for a while, but eventually I felt nothing.
