A man is fighting two others outside of a grocery store, bashing their skulls into carts and vehicles. As the two others pass out from exhaustion the man, who is now I, walks away nonchalantly. No destination in mind I walk around town before my mind is again transported into another body, that of a nearby ladies. I continue to walk through town doing various random tasks, including stealing a backpack from gang members, but mostly perusing storefronts.

The next day I am transported back into the body of the man. I walk to school and meet up with the girl who I had possessed. I steal the gangsters backpack back from the girl and get into a fight with the original gang members whom I had stole it from. After dealing with the gangsters the girl and I begin talking. The girl asks how my trip was, and I let her know that it was faulty and the two kids followed me from the last town and fought me at the grocery store.

We continue talking as we walk through the schools parking lot. There is a monstrously massive mountainous incline so we attempt to climb it to continue to the school. I, however, cannot get over the last incredibly steep section of the incline. Every branch I attempt to grab as I pull myself up snaps under my weight. I give up and fall back to the bottom, drawing a trident from my backpack. Suddenly I am in a death battle against my own sister, which I win.

As I turn around to look back to the mountain the entire terrain warps and shifts, transforming into a tropical island. We are somewhere in a drug barn, preparing for a monster attack on the local city. Forging and sharpening spears and various other weapons, we hear the monsters in the distance. Bolt the dog, from Disney’s Bolt, appears suddenly and is subsequently speared to death by myself. Nearby a crippled witch lies on top of a tarp, dying of some kind of chronic illness.

The door to the barn creeks open—the monster has arrived. My family jumps into my uncle’s semi and epic action music begins to play as the camera pans through the sky. The truck bursts through the side of the barn, planks of rotten wood flying in every which direction. A Godzilla-like monster is destroying the island, obliterating the barn in one swing with its tail. As it rampages through the city buildings are lifting off the ground and becoming monsters of their own.

All of the monsters are approaching a giant mansion on the island, resembling the palace from Tropico 6. As the monsters approach it the mansion too stands up, becoming a monster of its own. The mansion and the Godzilla-like monster get into a fight, but ultimately the mansion comes out on top and consumes Godzilla.

I then wake up from the dream and go into the living room. My grandmother is on the couch and I start to explain the dream to her, telling her how, “the Tropico palace should feasibly be able to consume more than just ice cream. It should be able to eat any human-made substance that is high in sugar.” Then I wake up for real.
