11/5 (7:30am-9:45am)/My Bed (In FH)/Jars of Clay "Frail" on repeat while going back to sleep.

The room was dark, mist was floating a few inches above the ground, swirling around our ankles. Looking to Angela, I took her hand and we started running. The room was huge, I couldn't see the walls or the ceiling, but there was a faint light that guided us as we ran. Taking a quick glance back, I couldn't see what was chasing us. I could only hear the faint swishing of clothing rubbing together as someone or something pursued us. Angela grasped my hand tighter as we kept running. I decided it wasn't a room, but a cave or a cavern. It didn't end. Just mist on the ground and darkness outside the small light that guided us.
Our breathing became heavy as we kept running. We can't keep this up, I thought, We need somewhere to hide, to rest and figure out what we're going to do.
"Look! There's some kind of wall over there," Angela pointed to our left. A lone rock wall stood out in the middle of all of this emptiness. We ran towards it and flopped down, our lungs aching to bring oxygen in.
"What are we running from?" I rasped.
Whatever she said was incomprehensible.
"What?"
Just a garble of random syllables came out. I shrugged and looked around the wall to see if our pursuer could be seen.
Nothing was there. Our breathing back to normal, I put my finger to her lips to quiet her down. My heartbeat drummed in my ears, but I didn't hear the whooshing of the pursuer from before. Maybe it passed us, I hoped.
Getting to my feet, I walked a few feet away from the wall. Then, darkness. The faint light that was there before was gone. It was as if I had never had sight before. "Angela!" I yelled. Turning around I stuck out my hands hoping to find the wall, nothing. Only cold air. "Angela! Where are you?" The vacuum of silence answered me. Starting to panic, I started running forward hoping to run into something, anything. A few seconds passed of pure terror, before I tripped over something soft and flipped to the ground. Getting back to my knees, the light flickered back for a second, then back off. Then back on. Off. On. Off. It was like a strobe light. Trying to concentrate on what I tripped over I saw heavy shadows on a white shape. It looked like a large rabbit. About 4 feet long. It remained motionless. Daring to touch it and see if it was alive, it felt stuffed. Like a stuffed animal. Picking it up I realized it was a stuffed animal. Like a prize that one wins at the carnival for knocking over bottles. Grabbing it by the ears I started to drag it with me as I wandered around in the strobe light-like-light.
"What the hell?" a screchy voice came from my hand.
Looking down, the stuffed rabbit grabbed my wrist and tried to twist out of my grasp.
"Shut up Jeremy. We're looking for..." I didn't know what we were looking for. Everything became really cold as brilliant white light reflected from everywhere and temporarily blinded me.
A bitter wind struck my face, the only part of my body that wasn't covered by the parka I was wearing. Squinting it appeared that the rabbit and I were on top of the Himalayas.
"Cows. We're looking for cows," Jeremy the rabbit said and started to make his way through the 3 feet of snow that we we're standing in.
Cows, of course. How did I forget that we were trekking on the Himalayas to find THE cow.
"No. THE cow Jeremy. THE cow." I followed the trail that Jeremy was making as he hopped through the snow. "When do you think we'll find it?" I asked shivering.
"Probably never. We'll probably freeze under the new ice age that's coming before we find it."
"Oh." We kept going forward, as the wind picked up and the snow started to get thicker,
making it harder and harder to see what was ahead. A little bit later, the swirling snow became so thick that I couldn't see Jeremy anymore. "Jeremy! Where are you?" My voice was swept away in the wind. Deciding that it was pointless to go on, I sat down waiting for the next ice age to come.
Not knowing how long it had been I pulled off my parka and started to make snow angels in the snow until an annoying musical tone in the background became louder and woke me up.

I'm a dude who like the outdoors. I have some phatty knattys that have been going strong for 4 years. I've lived in S. Africa and Swaziland for a year. I'm studying to become a doctor to move back over to Africa and live in a hut and run around in a loin cloth. I enjoy downhill skiing, reading, long walks on the beach, and playing trumpet. I also have the best girlfriend in the world and no longer have to pretend to pick up hott girls because I have the hottest one and there's no need to go searching anymore. If you need more info let me know.
