the visitor(me?) is paranoid about security measures and tries to take an alternate route to enter part of the building. he does, proves his point, etc. one of the workers starts to freak out and gag, presumably from some nasty disease.. he stubles for us. we run out the main door and try to close the door on him but have trouble doing so.. we run around the alternate way and somebody goes in to try and get the other people in there out. someone next to me is grabbing their throat and dying.. i try to breath less deeply.

we start to run from the facility across a field. we don't want to breath heavily so we crawl along the ground. the facility is about to explode (to try and stop the spread of an escaped nasty). when we get to the other side of the field it goes off. we watch for a few seconds waiting for the shock (it seems to take forever). mounds of dirt rush toward us. we end up riding the piles of dirt for a few hundred yards.. it seems to go quit slow and is relatively safe and easy to stay on top.. the difficulty is in avoiding obstacles we are passing (trees, etc.).

,,,

we end up in some sort of large park or something. we're not quite sure what to do.. we see random groups of people wandering around. a group of young women randomly joins us. one of them starts hitting on me.

..

later one of the people from the facilty wanders off and starts doing random stupid stuff (he's somewhat self-destructive, i guess). the head guy (me? i have no idea, actually.. i think it's me, though) goes after him. somehow the dumbass manages to be swinging around on some random rope or strap or something 20 feet off the ground. the leader guy saves him. i reflect on what a great guy he is. i don't think it's me.

..

i'm with the random girl.. it's night, and we're sleeping or something. we hear strange noises and get really worried. we realize it the people a bit away having sex. relief. she asks if we should have sex. why not. interrupted by dumbass episode above, i think.

we notice that random people in the park are dying from the disease. all over the place. as time goes by (day? couple days? not sure) we see that the rate of infection -> death seems to get longer, which is disturbing. one guy seems to have survived. the people have no idea what the disease is or where it came from..

..

apparently there is a zoo type thing in the park.. large cage and lions/tigers. the top is open in a few places, but it's something like 30 feet. we're up on top.. somehow i manage to intimidate the lion and it jumps out of the cage and comes after me. there is a series of wire fences with periodic gaps.. they are on rollers to so you can move the fence to close them. i mahage to get on teh opposite side as the lion and am using the gates to block it.

...

we find a computer in the hopes that it will offer us some answers (get online maybe?) who knows.

we catch a short segment of television. we appear to be in the midst of a state of chaos. a member of the group has made some proclamation or another.. about our region or whatever. apparently he was pulling it out of his butt, but it ended up being convenient that he did so.

..

a mob of people is coming towards us. we start to run but it quickly becomes apparent that we can't get away from them. it doesn't end up being a huge problem though (we aren't overrun as we were originally sure we would be). some sort of resolution seems imminent.

it's winter. very cold, and we are stranded somewhere or other. our four wheel drive truck or whatever is out of comission, but we have a suburban instead. at first we'm a bit skeptical, but after a bit of thought we're pretty sure it will do well. we start up the twisted path. there are drifts of snow all over and the snow is deep, but we manage to get through after sliding all over the place. it turns out it isn't very far. the first stretch isn't, at least.

a carriage or some sort drawn by a team of horses follows. the second half of the segment is downhill (it's a sort of arc/horse-shoe type shape). as they come out of the path the driver doesn't stop.. he continues driving the wagon through the clearing and down another short segment of road into the next clearing. he still doesn't stop.. makes a bit of a right turn and drives the wagon into the water (for some reason it isn't freezing). they're all under water.. the driver, the horses, and the passenger and owner of everything in it.

the driver struggles to free himself from the reigns and swims out. the passenger is barely able to grab his foot and follow him out. the horses follow as well, somehow freed from the whole business. the man has a gun. he shoots the driver, but he doesn't go down. he proceeds to somehow communicate to the horses (who are loyal to him) that they are no longer to be controlled.. that their bond with him is to end. the owner continues to shoot the driver until he finally dies.

the horses seem lost. the man tries to take one of their reigns, but they back away from him. he loses hope. curses at it all.
