Flecks of ice cold water stung my naked skin, rousing me from what felt like a stalled out coma or the aftermath of a nasty Tastykakes binge.

“Get up Myg” Vanny harassed from the other side of the door. “I’m hungry,” she said, her eyes glowing hot through the iron bars. Something told me that she was not about to suggest we order pizza.

“Where’s Lisa?” I asked.

“She’s not here.”

In my dream, I’m sure I’d heard a violent argument take place between them. For Lisa and Vanny, this was usually just foreplay.

But as snippets of their argument came to my consciousness, I realized that I was in very deep shit.

The cell door opened.

“Feeling a bit stronger, I see?” Vanny teased as she stalked ever closer to me, backing me into the corner. Unexpectedly though, she paused and began to mutter to herself, “No Vanny, Lisa said no!” She twisted her neck, uttering unholy sounds, spitting them out like the taste of dead rat was on her tongue.

I took my chances and sprang for the door, knocking her to the side as she wrestled with herself.

“MYG! Don’t make me kill you!” she chased me across the dungeon, sword unsheathed, spitting flames and blood, but then she stopped again to fight herself. “Lisa said no Vanny, NO!”

I grabbed my clothes and scrambled to climb up out of the dungeon, but it was in vain… my bare feet just slid down the slippery stone walkway. I tried to steady myself by clinging to one of the wooden torches but it ripped right out of the wall. Holding it high over my head, I sank back down the ramp back towards the confused Vanny.

Man…Lisa is going to kill me if I have to slay Vanny, I thought. That’s if I even could slay her–that was still very much a question. “Come on Vanny, let’s think this through.” I tried to reason with her. But then her eyes took on that terrifying glow again, and there was no negotiating. She aimed her sword at my neck and took slow steady steps towards me, blood dripping from her lips.

The weirdest thing happened then. You know, I have never been in a church in my life, but all of a sudden I started uttering scripture. Vanny began to retch and scream, “Cut that out or I really am gonna kill you! STOP it - MYG!”

But I couldn’t stop. Bible verse rolled off my tongue like I was the misbegotten hellspawn of Jerry Falwell. It spewed from me like unconsciously, buying me precious time as I frantically flipped through my inventory, hoping to find the landmark home. Nothing. Friends list was still wiped out too. Vanny had her ears covered and was shrieking at me as I desperately tried to think of my next move. If Lisa came back and found this, she was not going to be happy with either of us.

Then finally, I caught a break. An IM from heaven it seemed - or Topgol, was more like it.

Alexander Burgess: where the hell have you been?
me: tp please? hurry!

“Join me in Topgol” never, ever sounded so good to me.

I heard Vanny’s disembodied voice echoing in my head as I disintegrated into the teleport. “I will hunt you down Myg… and I will find you.”

I landed in a heap on the road in front of Wei 2008 HQ.

“What the hell happened to you?” Alex asked.

“Lisa and Vanny turned into vampires and Vanny was gonna eat me but then you im’d me and I tp’d out just in time.”

“Oh.” He said. “Wanna get a slice?”

“Nooo,” I said, disgusted. “Take me home.”

He dragged my ass back to Section 8 and I let my bones tumble to my favorite spot on the couch. “Can you watch the door for awhile?”

I had to sleep just to get out of the nightmare.

…the nightmare continues at From the bottom of my heart (part VIII).
