I just awoke (nap time) from one and I hardly ever dream. A friend, in a panic, brought two bodies to the plantation. Something about a big fight. One was a mutual friend, the other some other guy. Our friend looked pale, no pulse, eyes wide open and bulging, shocked look on his face, and his mouth was open with a swollen purple tongue bulging out, like he’d been strangled. The other guy’s face and hands were beaten, bloody and beaten and his neck looked broken. So we buried them out back. But not very deep.
A day later, my friend comes to me and says that he saw the dirt shift above our friend’s grave. We checked the grave. No movement. We stood there for awhile. I told him that that was impossible, that there was no way our friend was still alive. I checked both bodies carefully when he brought them in and they were both dead as doornails. I told him to forget it, that it was his imagination, and not worry about it.
A couple of days later, I’m out gardening and, from the corner of my eye, I see movement over our friend’s grave. A hand emerges from the grave and starts to frantically claw dirt aside. I get over there right away and help dig the poor fucker out. He’s lying there all dirty, freaked and struggling to get whatever it is in his mouth out. He pulls out this three foot long purple eel-like thing, then gasps desparately for air. I’m trying to calm him down and reach for my phone. There’s a movie showing on my phone and no matter what I do, I can’t get the home screen up to make a 911 call. Now, I’m freaking out. I can’t get this fucking phone to work.
While I’m working on the phone, the guy gets up, brushes himself off and starts to walk around in a kind of daze. I yell at him to lie back down and relax while I get an ambulance, but he won’t listen. Finally, I get 911. The operator appears on the screen. She’s really laid back. I describe to her what has happened and she thinks it’s a joke. I see her turn around and say something to the operators behind her and and they all laugh. Finally she aggrees to send an ambulance out.
In the meantime, our dead friend goes in and takes a shower, comes out and starts dancing around and laughing in the sunlight like Zorba the Greek. I’m telling him that he’s in shock and he needs to lay down until the ambulance gets there. Finally the ambulance arrives, they put him on a gurney and take him away.
Then I woke up.
