It's the middle of World War III and I'm trapped in a house with people from various different ethnic backgrounds. A wealthy looking woman is the keeper of the house and is keeping us all trapped inside. She spends most of her time roaming the courtyard making sure nobody gets out.

I'm sitting in the courtyard, when an old lady comes up to me with a bar of soap. She tells me that this kind of soap doesn't seem important right now because there are still some left in stores, but it contains a very rare seed that only grows in certain places. She tells me that the seed will go extinct unless I can get out of this house and fly to Spain, and then from Spain to Argentina where I should plant the soap bar into the earth so that the soap tree could grow. (No idea why I need to go to Spain first, as that would mean going further then I need to go, and then coming back.....)

I accept the lady's mission and start to try to find a way out of the house.

Every time the keeper lady turns away, I see people run past her and into a foresty area with tons of flowers. I watch day after day as this happens, and at night the dogs are released and every single escaped person is removed from the forest area, and killed. I know that I need to find a different way out. I consider escaping out of the top window, but that seems impossible.

*Jump*

It's night and I'm sitting in the courtyard with M and A, and about 3 Mexicans. We are trying to plan an escape. Suddenly the keeper lady comes out of the house acting strange, as though she has been drugged. She sits on the floor with her back leaning against the gate, and smokes a cigarette.

She says, "you know when I was younger, my mother would always be trying to find me here, but she never found my hiding place." She walks to the centre of the courtyard and uses a knife to remove a tile on the floor, revealing a spiral staircase. We follow her down to a secret room with a tunnel out.

*Jump*

We are back in the courtyard and the lady has forgotten what has happened. We pretend to sleep until she goes into the house. Quickly we remove the tile and escape through the tunnel. M keeps complaining about how we just got here and we should stay, because we don't even know where we would go from here. I tell him that I'm going to go with whatever happens and see where I end up.

*Jump*

We're in a flying grocery store that is being held up by several giant eagles. I realize I forgot the soap bar and start to panic, until I realize I'm in a flying supermarket....

I walk thorough the aisles, which was difficult in the swaying building, and see that several fights have broken out all over the store. I finally get to the soap aisle and take the last bar of soap. I start to walk back to my friends, but some people get mad at me for taking the last one. A bug angry crowd starts to chase me down the aisles....and then I wake up.

Hey Ness.

Good to see ya.

Was the grocery story being "held up" by several giant eagles OR

PS. I like how the keeper lady gives away the secret way out. Isn't that nice?
