I don't know where it started. And I only remember fragments.
Eddy, Owen, and Stephen were there. But that didn't come first, no.
We had their car, Eddy and I. And we went into a dark hallway (in it) lined with exhibits. Glass and doors. And we knew we were there to find some freakyass bird amongst them. I don't know why, but we drove to the end, so deepest in, and got out, and started looking into all the cages, displays; opening doors and saying stupid gibberish about birds. We began to wonder why those who organised it would put the birds towards the front of the hall if that is where most people would park and start looking first. We got to the last displays and they had nothing (so there was no bird,) and we looked down to the end and the car seemed miles away.
Next, we were leaving there, and outside (it was night,) there was a woman selling things in lines of tubs, maybe ice cream containers. She sold ferrets, but she told me we were in Alice Springs, thus they were still illegal, but if I completed a spiritual journey I could have one here. So I did, and I moved rocks with my mind (but there was confusion if they were actually seeds [wouldn't have counted]) but they were rocks (small, black, crumbly, seldom asymmetrical ones) and I didn't quite pass, because she was talking at me about indigenous shit, so I walked off, and took a ice cream container that contained some newts (that were tiny; sea monkey tiny) and tiny food bowls. I also grabbed a ferret (I named her Suki and she sat on my shoulder) and then, we were where we started: Owen, Stephen, Eddy and I, in the car, driving along this very narrow bridge and over a draw bridge and then there was snow all around us. We went to a log cabin, and I was in a different room from everyone else, and I was trying to figure out how to care for my newts (I had bought one and it immediately laid eggs and there were now five) but I was treating it like a ferret in water. I would cut down the sides and attach it to a litter container but all the water leaked out. I tried to make sure their food was always full but it just floated away, and I was pouring water into a submerged water bowl. And suddenly there were these goldfish, and they were swimming around between the two containers (both turned down and leaking into the bed [which was very wet]) and I felt so helpless and lost because I couldn't help the newts/seaferrets. So I filled up another container and left them be. In the morning they were gone.
That morning, we all went out into the snow, and we were having fun (I remember it was fun) and there was a city just around the corner, all covered in snow, and a huge row of mountains (also covered in snow) and we were walking around (Eddy, Owen, Stephen, Suki and I) and then the sun really suddenly come out and with laser beamsish power kinda started melting the snow, especially on the mountain. There was a rumble, like before an avalanche (or what I imagine it sounds like) and we started running, and then I ran into a big shopping centre. It was sort of like Cas, but there were shops hanging out all over the place, externally it was simpler, and as if there was a mall/hall way (lined with shops, displays, freakyass birds) coming out of where Darrell Lea/The Body Shop/Cue/whatever the fuck else there is there. I ran down there, and people were looting, and I ran, desperately into stores, grabbing anything and everything and giving them to Suki or in my jacket (that I didn't realise I was wearing) and we grabbed a shitload of stuff (mostly clothes and small things) and then this security guard sought me out and we ran, ducking and dodging, running from him, and despite plenty of other looters, he singled me out and I (grabbing stuff along the way) ran out of that mall/hall (that was kinda on a slope) and ran around and hid in Zelow's. We shoved all our stuff in a bag, and ran again, and went into some clothes shop, and got disguises (Suki was disguised as a sock,) and he was still looking for us, but we had to stop to get something to eat and they were selling a $45 Japanese steak and then I realised there was no one to serve us, and that in fact, most people had gone. And then, snow landed on the roof like a tonne of bricks and we punched our way into the glass muffin display and ate (glassy) blueberry muffins and then a giant flying Newt-Man landed beside me and called me mother and took me and carried us away and then I don't really remember much else.
ta-daaaa.
