A Hayu's Dream

medieval times. It was weird and I wonder what’s with the outfit. As for the tights they fit weird because I’m not used to wearing tight clothing. I put the boots on and grabbed the furry cloak from the closet on my way downstairs. I took my journal too. Downstairs I saw Sue dressed like me but her skirt was black and her attached top was yellow. Breakfast, we found was pancakes with butter on it. I say found because it was lying on the living room table like our ghost prepared it for us. We had orange juice to drink. The pancakes were delicious. It was very weird to be eating old fashioned food. I'm surprised that they're still making pancakes. I told Sue I found the toothpaste and toothbrushes in a box. I'm noticing things I didn't notice before. Like our rooms is paneled fabric like the basement. The kitchen floor rooms are not paneled. After breakfast we had an hour to kill time. I decided to go to the basement and look through boxes. I found some interesting stuff. I found things from the past such as a box full of books. I also felt like someone was leading me towards boxes to look in. It felt weird. I’m surprised to see all this stuff. I wondered where did people get stuff from the past here on Terra? It has me curious. I also found thin videos of seemly movies. When it was 9:30am on my watch Sue came down the basement and saw me looking through boxes of stuff. She waved her hand to get my attention. I looked at her. In sign language she told me it was time to start walking to the community center. We left the house. It was a beautiful sunny day. I shaded my eyes from the sun. We walked down the street passing houses. The houses were like our house same style all in a row on both sides of the street. A car come flying from the sky that was blue colored. The car landed in front of us with wind wiping like a helicopter. The driver was Jeff. We got in the car and Jeff flew it in the air to the community center. While in the air I saw the community center appear out of thin air like in a puff of smoke. He landed it in front of the entrance which looked like a stone castle. I told Jeff that. He told us Winsted village is based on a town on Planet Earth. That's nice.
The community center was like a stone castle. Sue and I passed an arch in the building with stone around us. We walked on muddy ground with what appeared to be straw lying on the ground. It was weird. I saw some people appear out of puffs of smoke. One was dressed full of metal like a medieval knight and kept staring at us thru the visor. It was like the knight knew who we were. He gave me a creepy feeling like I placed him some place. I stood around and looked to see that we were surrounded by thick walls of stone and there were houses in the sides like apartments built on top of each other. Some of those people were busy tending to animals that were like wolves in chain leashes along with horses, cows and chickens behind fenced areas. It was very weird. The knight followed us to the largest building with two like him standing there with lances, long thick sticks with knifes at the end. They blocked our way and gestured to a smaller building that was circular and surrounded by walls. The mysterious knight gestured to follow him and then we followed him to the circular building which I assume is the community center.
Inside an arch in the wall behind a counter we met Jayna Levee dressed like we were wearing and also number 289, whom told us she works in the theater. An odd look passed on her face when she saw me. She led us to through hallways to a small auditorium where I saw many people appear by puffs of smoke. It was like a magician trick. The auditorium was in a half circle with a small square stage in front of us. The people who appeared by smoke sat on wooden benches that reached part of the ceiling and on the way I asked Jayna if she had a number tattoo on her left arm. She rolled up her sleeve and showed us number 289. I told her I'm number 299 and Sue is 300. Jayna told us she welcomed us here. Her eyes narrowed when she saw me. She took us to the stage in the auditorium and spoke yelling.
"Hello, I like you to meet Sue Ulian and"
She gestured to me. I spoke up
"My name is Elizabeth Zeskaya."
Jayna spoke "Please welcome them."
The audience clapped hands. Then she left us to the audience. Many people introduced themselves that I couldn't get all their names. One thing I noticed that the males were wearing tights with different colored tunics and they had hats on their heads which they took off when I went near them. The females were dressed like Sue and I were in different colors. They also acted haughty towards me. One guy in particular stuck out. It was twenty four year old Kurt Deboy, Sue's boyfriend. He has black hair with tan skin. He was wearing something like medieval armor, all covered up in metal with a sword. Boy I was surprised to see him.
He tried to put his helmet on when I saw him revealing himself to be the knight that Sue and I saw earlier but I stopped him by asking him, "What are you doing here?"
He looked embarrassed and before he could answer Sue grabbed him and kissed him in front of all of the people. They applauded. I'm jealous of Sue. She has a boyfriend; Kurt told me he was in the same store where we got the virus in sign language which has me creep out because he doesn’t know sign language at all. I asked him where he is living. He told me smirking that he's living in a house next to ours. I guess Sue and Kurt will have a romantic night, lucky them. Most of the people I met are in their thirties. The closest person to my age was Kurt and a man who's twenty five years old. His name is Sean Kent who has brown hair and brown eyes. He looked sad to me. He had a wedding ring on his finger of his left hand. I asked him about that. He explained he got married and was shopping for a gift when the madman attacked the store he was in. He was looking for a birthday gift for his wife. I told him I was shopping with my best friend. After the meeting I walked towards home alone. I walked out of the community center which I’m calling that. I tried to explore the castle area but then a puff of smoke appeared and I walked blindly through it. I felt something like a hand grabbed by left hand and put a piece of rope in it. Then the rope pulled me thru a stone arch and thru the fog to the house. It was a long walk. I felt the hand take the rope and then the fog disappeared and I was standing on the lawn of my house.
At home I had lunch which was oddly left on the table for me and I watched a video. Then I went next door and rang the doorbell. Sean answered the door dressed in Jeans and a sweatshirt. He acted like he was annoyed. I saw an obvious older than him lady behind him, her clothes which she was pulling on the top part over her big chest looking like she was unraveled on in a hurry. He introduced her as Serena Quinn. I asked him where is Sue and Kurt. He told me they went upstairs then I left him. He slammed the door behind me. I went home. I watched a video and ate dinner. I can't believe this guy. He's married, gets frozen and makes out with a woman who looks older than him. What a total … Wait a minute, I can't write that. I'm not supposed to swear. I went to Sue's room. I looked around for something like a journal. I didn't find it. I'll ask her about that later. I have a bad day. I hope tomorrow is okay. I think I'll go to bed now. Goodnight.
Annoyed,
Elizabeth

Dear Anne,
I woke up feeling refreshed. I didn't feel so tired. I hate it when I feel tired. I had breakfast of pancakes and milk to drink. I checked Sue's room. It's in a mess. What a …. Forget it I'm not trashing my friend. No way. I hope she comes home soon. I hope so. I waited for my food to cook by my ghost. It’s a cheese sandwich. I went next door and rang the doorbell. No one answered. I rang twice. No answer. I walked back home. It was snowing outside. I checked the weather report said that a snowstorm is coming. I checked the refrigerator and there's enough food. I ate and stayed home. The snow outside got really bad. It’s covering up the road and sidewalks. Sue came home in the early afternoon. I asked her about Kurt. She told me she’s not ready to tell me what she had with Kurt. It was none of my business. I can’t help it being nosy. I don’t have a boyfriend. I asked her if she is having a baby. Sue told me it’s too soon to tell. I told her I liked Sean but he’s making out with a woman named Serena. Sue told me she was his wife. They got married a year after being frozen. Their virus was different from ours. Oh I wonder whom I’ll
fall in love with. Sue is so lucky she has a boyfriend. I never dated in high school. I think the boys wanted an older woman. I don’t look my age, which is why I probably look thirteen at my age of seventeen. Sue had a sandwich. She later threw up in the toilet. I saw her do that. I hope she doesn’t have an allergy. I found the phone, which is a picture phone. It has closed captions. I told the computer to call the doctor. I got Serena Quinn who was dressed in a nurse’s uniform which was a white top with revealed cleavage and a hat on her head. I asked her if she was the doctor. She told me Sean is the doctor she’s the nurse. I told her Sue threw up in the toilet. She told me to take Sue to the community center once the storm is gone. Just my luck the storm will be blowing all day. I signed off the phone. The online service stinks. Its awful must be due to the storm.
I tried the weather report on TV which said “The storm is blowing through Winsted Village; it’ll be over at midnight”.
I hope the house doesn’t lose power. I looked outside the window. I can see the back yard. There’s snow on the ground there’s also a small
