Dream 30.6.26 – Sam Machell

Peeteris “Tick” Kaktinsh slept sleeps for a total of 14 hours like a child. His chin and lumpy bumpy neck apple swelling swollen dripping slick neck shaven hair dream snoring roses. Stamping saliva crater. Dreams of Opens with a wide shot to conveying scale (<the) of the oncoming meteor asteroid? He’s working for latvian state security. {Valstybees Saugumo Departamentas.} They have him chained at the legs and arms. He’s working for them though. We’ve moved into a two shot that is held steady throughout the scene (<unnecessary) – both lit harshly glow sweat by blue light. Tick is sweating. On the table is a closed envelope. Tick is places his hand over the envelope and feels the energy from paper word to far off place. Would make for good found footage found (why do you keep repeating stupid fool?). His hands are both in cuffs. He doesn’t squirm his eyes are closed. Other side the steel aluminium table the other man interrogator totally smooth and plastic grey hair wrinkles unidentified badge and begins to speak.

Fox: All right now, using the information in the envelope I’ve provided, exclusively focusing your attention now, using the information in the envelope, focus on:

10.32 degrees north
38,88,21 degrees west

Tic: …….. If I would say it looks like ah…. I don’t know, it’s hard to describe. It’s hot, it’s very hot … If I said…… a difficult view of a circle …..

Fox: All right.

Tic: I can’t tell of any colour.

Fox: Don’t worry about the colour. What else can you see?

Tic: ….. It’s all hot. And very moving fast. … It is moving at such speeds I can barely… Ah some kind of rocky surface. It’s white. It’s very white and……………………

Fox: Okay.

Tic: I can’t seem to focus on it. It’s moving too fast. I am sorry.

Fox: Refocus your attention, we’re moving now. 400 degrees north.

Tic: … Okay ……… Um.. Ah……. What is this place? I see a …… No it’s so … Can’t get any clear shapes. It’s all translucent …. How long time ago is this?

Fox: Just focus on what you can see. I am not allowed to be more specific.

Tic: Some kind of meeting place.

Fox (writing notes): You see people?

Tic: ……No yes….. People? ……

Fox: Go on.

Tic: I don’t…. Robes. White robes….. I am feeling an intense feeling of dread. About to vomit. That’s what they’re saying.

Fox: They are trying to communicate with you?

Tic: They are seeing me, yes. Giving me two warnings. ……. It’s all very ghostly…… Far away? …………………….. I don’t know.

Fox: Stay focused.

Tic: …….. It’s going to hit them…

Fox: What is?

Tic: ….They’re not human. Their faces. I’m getting the impressions of a different place. Large structures bigger than anything here. The scale is very hard to measure….. Oh God…. Yes they know what is coming…. They are afraid but calm and being resolved. It’s an asteroid. They can see me. They are showing me…. Large metal plate doors and walls and open sliding showing me behind the door. A storm.
