No. 7400
There was this one zombie dream I had that started out kind of weird but turned into... well, something weirder. What's interesting is that I can remember a lot of almost pointless details, and there's a lot of ingrained knowledge that came with the dream that I knew despite having know way of knowing otherwise. Prepare for tl;dr.
For background information, it all started with a scientist. I don't remember if he had a name anymore, but I remember his appearance: tall, thin man with typical horseshoe male pattern baldness despite having sandy blonde hair. Slight overbite, slightly yellowed teeth from smoking, left incisor was slightly crooked. Round rimmed glasses, grey eyes, wore a grey striped suit underneath a stained and smeared lab coat. He had created a viral weapon and had stolen it from the lab he worked at for the US government because he was upset that he was being 'liquidated' and decided to ruin it for everyone with bioterrorism attacks.
Anyway, it was roughly Halloween, and I was sitting in an airport, even though I've never actually been to one. Where I was sitting was a row of benches on an elevated area along one wall. At either side of the elevated section were long walls of windows, and the opposite wall has a few shops lined along it, and a large entryway into a decorated up 'Halls of Darkness' attraction sort of thing, a silly Halloween gimmick run by some staff that is basically a maze slapped together to be pitch black and loaded with things to run into and scare the shit out of people. Directly in front of me is a set of stairs leading down to the floor below. To the right of the stairs are a few rows of small square tables with seats bolted into the ground. Closest to the stairs is a younger man, 25, grey shirt, blue denim jacket, faded blue jeans with a bad fraying around the left pant leg cuff. Green eyes, jaw length black hair parts down the middle. He's wearing generic black ear buds and a large yellow and green duffel bag is sitting next to him. He has a tattoo of a diamond on the inside of his left wrist, I can see it because he's holding his head up with his left hand as he watches the floor. Down the stairs, behind the them is a food court, and the floor down there is packed with travellers, a lot of them congregating near the 'Halls of Darkness'.
On the floor there are three more people that stand out: A cop, standard police uniform of blue, no hat, brown hair, buzzcut. He's 32 and he has a gold earring in his left ear, and I can see the club tattoo on the back of his neck. Across the floor, towards the right hand wall, near the doors that exit the airport is a man in a black suit, typical looking FBI kind of guy, brown hair with a very business looking haircut. I can't see it, but I know that he has a spade with a banner bearing his name on the back of his right shoulder. The final person is a woman, 19, looks like some kind of raver-punk type. Short hair, bobcut, back half is pink, front half is blonde. Wears a small denim vest loaded with pins and buttons over a yellow tubetop overlaid with black mesh, and a black miniskirt and more fishnet stockings. She has a heart tattooed on her face. As for me, I'm waiting, my aunt is coming up from Texas, and I'm sitting until my mom and grandma come back with her and we'll be leaving. They all arrive, and we're getting ready to go, then there are shouts from the 'Halls of Darkness'. Several security guards are dragging above mentioned scientist guy out of the thing, and he's screaming and raving to let him go. They drag him towards the food court, because there's a hallway down there that leads to the security offices, when the raver girl pulls a gun from nowhere and fires. The young man near me responds by pulling a Raging Bull from his duffel bag into the bottom floor, and I realize they're shooting at the scientist. They both manage to only hit security, and the scientist makes a break for it, while the cop and the FBI guy have drawn weapons, a Beretta 92F and HK Mark 23 respectively.
While a gunfight ensues between people I now know are bounty hunters, screams are coming from farther into the building. People are running from the Halls of Darkness, and zombies are following them, jumping on people and tearing them apart. The guns are turned on them, but of course, there's little effect in between civilian casualties from gunfire and the swarms of people running everywhere. My mom, aunt and grandma run off somewhere to escape, and naturally I run right into the chaos. The cop had already been killed, so I take his gun and rummage for his ammo, and use it to push my way across the room towards the FBI guy, who is backing towards a corner from zombies. The woman has vanished, and the young guy has also disappeared. I hear a succession of pops from farther into the building, from the direction of the security offices, and I know someone back there has an automatic, so I stay clear and make my way towards the FBI. He's already been killed as well, though the zombies have completely cleared off. I take his gun, search for ammo, and find a surpressor as well. I decide to go find my family now, and along the way I find the young man trampled to death holding his duffel bag. I take it, his gun, and empty the bag to carry the ammo and guns. I hear automatic gunfire again and leave without my family. I find a white car in the parking lot, jump in, start it up thanks to the keys in the ignition, and drive off.
