- DREAM OF A HAMMER
- -----------------
-
- In England, present day. That's where our story start. It was stormy
- night. I (Brainie) and my friends (Awcy, Jukkis, Ooze and Particle) were on a
- trip to a copyparty in Glasgow. Jukkis was driving the car and we were just
- sitting and looking out from the windows. There weren't much to see.
- Just fields and trees. There was a fly on the windscreen. The radio was open and
- there came Puke This' new hit single.
- "Come on!", Ooze said. "Put some music, man!"
- Jukkis put in a cassette. Iron Maiden's Stranger in strange land.
- I felt the same, stranger... Hours went by and I was feeling sleepy and others
- were too. We were driving in a countryside and soon we were supposed
- to be in Scotland. So boring. I hoped we would find a hotel soon. I wanted to go
- to sleep. Suddenly we heard a great bang.
- "Fuck!", Jukkis shouted. "We lost a tire! I can't handle this fuckin' car
- anymore!"
- Car just went forward the way it wanted. There was a big tree and the car was
- going to hit it! I closed my eyes and hoped that everything would go fine...
- But no way! We hit the tree... But gladly we had seatbelts on. Everybody was
- uninjured. But we were in trouble. We were in Scotland, on the little road,
- in countryside, and our car broken. What could we do? Another bad thing was that
- it was raining.
- Jukkis said wisely (yes it's true!): "Let's continue with our feet. Someone must
- live near. Just take your necessary belongings and let's go
- (I must be dreaming! jukkis is talking seriously!) I took my backbag where I had
- some stuff. I also took my survival-knife (Rambo knife, you know) Others took
- some things too. Rope, food, map etc. We began to walk. Storm was getting
- louder.
- Then we saw a crossroad. There was a little gate and a sign. We read the
- sign: Strangers keep out!
- "Well, let's go there", Jukkis said.
- (Hahhaa! He is normal again! Grazy guy) We opened the gate (Squek, squek).
- It was rusty old gate.
- "I think there ain't nobody living here", said Ooze.
- "Yes I think so too", said Jukkis. "Well, there is only one way to be sure
- about that."
- Yes, I know it. To boldly go where no man has gone before... (Sounds familiar?)
- That can't be totally true, because there must have been someone! I don't know
- how long ago...
- We began to walk again. It was a little road, trees growing both side
- of it. It looked really gloomy.
- "Only owl's scream is missing", Particle said.
- How right he was ... Then we heard a loud scream!
- "Well, eh, what are we gonna do", Awcy said.
- "Well, hhmm, I think it was just an owl", said Jukkis.
- (I really hope so...) We continued walking but now more carefully ...
- Then we saw it! In a flash of lightning. Big and ugly and really, really,
- uuhhh, castle (What did you expect we saw?)
- "Let's go there and look if anybody is home", Jukkis said.
- (I hope nobody is home...) We saw large doors... Jukkis knocked (Heart pumped
- faster and faster) Big silence...
- "I think nobody is home", said Ooze.
- And then the doors opened (Aaarrrggghhh!)
- There was a man standing there holding a candle in his hand.
- "What do you want strangers", he whispered. "Didn't you see the sign? You
- shouldn't be here. It's dangerous here", he said
- (My heart is going to be overloaded)
- "Well, uuhh, we drove an accident and we are searching for help", Jukkis said
- carefully.
- "I'm sorry boys, but I can't help you, because I don't have a car."
- "Could we stay here over night? We don't have place where we could sleep",
- Jukkis said.
- (He is definitely grazy. No doubt about that. Sleep in place like this! That
- man looks like a vampire) After a little pause the man said:
- "Well boys, I have empty rooms. You can sleep in them."
- We walked into a large hall. There was a little bit cold. The man showed our
- rooms.
- "I'm really tired", I said. "I'm gonna go sleeping right away".
- Others were sleepy too. I opened the door and went into the room.
- There was a bed, a little table with mirror and a wardrobe.
- I took my clothes off and went to the bed. Usually it lasts long until I fell
- in sleep, but then I began to sleep right away.
- I saw a strange dream: I was standing in a large field. I heard a voice
- spoking to me. In a thunderous roar, it told of our creation, the time of the
- usurpers and of the first death, our test of steel and might. Saying in the
- time that is now henceforth called the resurrection, in this the fourth year,
- a fourth circle would appear, alongside four who ride at the head of an army
- called the immortals. Together, forever, they would stand against the
- multitudes. And as the sky turned black, I felt the ground shake. And the voice
- said on this very day unto our hands would pass this hammer. A sign of our
- deliverance, and of our coming, for all disbelievers to see and to know that
- for us it's the end of the beginning and for them it's the beginning of
- the end... And then I saw large hammer flying in the sky. But I didn't
- understand anything. Then the hammer began to go round faster and faster and
- faster... Then I woke up. I was in sweat.
- I need water, I thought. I still could hear the voice speaking inside my head
- and I could see that hammer.
- What does that mean? There must be somekind of answer to that! Then I felt
- myself hungry. Hhmmm... Is there a kitchen in this place, I wondered.
- There's only one way to find that out. I must try to find it! I opened the
- door and walked out from my room. There were stairs going down.
- I walked down. I came into the big hall. There were 3 doors. I went in from the
- nearest door. It was some sort of livingroom. There was a big fireplace,
- but no fire in it. There was rather cold. Strange that there wasn't fire...
- There was a painting on the wall. It was picture from a old man. It looked a
- little bit same as the man who opened the door to us. Must be his father in
- that painting, I thought. There weren't anything interesting (I mean food...),
- so I left the room. I came to the hall again. I heard somebody coming down
- the stairs! I went back to the livingroom. I looked from the keyhole who was
- coming. Gladly it was Awcy.
- "Hey!", I said and opened the door. Awcy almost jumped up to the ceiling!
- "Oh, it's you! Don't never again do that! I almost got a heartattack!"
- "OK, OK", I said. "What are you doing here?"
- "I'm looking for something to eat. I'm hungry!", said Awcy.
- "Hey, I'm looking food too!", I said. "Let's try to find the kitchen.
- I already looked here (I pointed the livingroom's door) there was only a
- livingroom, nothing interesting. Let's go in there." (I pointed the door
- beside the livingroom's door)
- "OK.", Awcy said. "I saw fucking strange dream", Awcy continued, "There was a
- funny hammer and something else, but I can't remember it all."
- "Hey! I saw that dream too!", I said.
- Strange! There's something strange going on here. Two men can't see the same
- dream! We went in from the door and what we saw: Jukkis eating a sandwich!
- "What the fuck are you doing here?", Awcy asked from him.
- "I'm eating. Can't you see it", Jukkis said mumbling.
- "I saw a funny dream and I got hungry."
- I and Awcy looked to each other with funny look in our faces.
- "No! There is something strange going on here. Three men can't see the same
- dream", I said.
- "Don't worry about that", Awcy said. "Let's eat!"
- "OK, but we must examine this castle."
- "OK, later, later", Awcy said. "I'm hungry!"
- While we were eating Ooze and Particle came to eat too! They told us that they
- saw a strange dream... (Five men can't see the same dream, or what?)
- After eating we thought that we could examine the castle. We went to
- the big hall again.
- "OK, we have examined two rooms: livingroom and kitchen", Jukkis said.
- "Here is only one door left. Let's go in there", I said.
- Jukkis opened the door slowly... It was a large eating room. Large table in
- the centre of the room with many chairs around it. There was a candle on the
- table with fire on it. There was one door. We moved slowly near it... Jukkis
- tried to listen, but there came no sound from other side of the door.
- Jukkis opened the door. We saw a large store. Then we heard noises from the
- big hall. We jumped inside the store and Ooze closed the door. There were
- many boxes on the floor. We heard somebody opening the eating room's door
- (aarggh!). We could hear loud steps coming near to the store's door!
- "We must do something really fast", Awcy whispered...
- Then something surprising happened...
- Particle was leaning against the wall, when suddenly he went through it!
- Actually it only looked like that. There was a secret door and Particle went
- through it. After realising what had happened we went to the secret room.
- Awcy closed the secret door. And just in time! Store's door opened...
- We couldn't see anything, because there was dark, but we could feel those ugly
- spider webs... And there was a lot of them. Gladly we didn't notice any spiders
- there... Awcy noticed that there was a lock in the secret door. He locked the
- door. And just at the same moment somebody tried to open the door... We could
- hear some words like "Damn"... Again somebody tried to open the door, but
- without luck. We heard somebody leaving.
- "It's maybe going to get some tools to get this door open", Jukkis said.
- "Let's get out of here!" Awcy paniced. Ooze tried to open the door, but he
- couldn't unlock the door!
- "Thanx Awcy again for great job", we all said...
- "OK, now it's my fault that I locked this door? You should thank me, I maybe
- saved our lives!"
- "Yes, but maybe not! Now he's coming back and what he's gonna do when he sees
- us here?" I asked.
- "Hey guys relax", Ooze said. "Just follow me!"
- "What", we asked.
- "Here's a door!" Ooze said.
- "Why didn't you tell that earlier?"
- "Hah, some excitement guys!" Ooze replied...
- Then a light went on.
- "Yes, there really is a door!" Particle said. He got a flashlight in his hand.
- "Why didn't you tell that you have a flashlight?"
- "Nobody didn't ask..."
- "Aaaargghhhh..." We tried to kill him, but he was faster. He went in
- from the door... We heard a loud yell and for a little while no sound, then
- a loud "splash!" It sounded that somebody (In this case Particle) had fallen
- into the water. We couldn't hear and see anything...
- "I think we must jump after him", Ooze said.
- "OK, only if you go first", Awcy said.
- (Women and children first...)
- "OK", Ooze said jumped down...
- "Flap, flap" (He tried to fly...) then a loud "splash"!
- "Are you OK?" Awcy shouted to Ooze.
- "I'm OK", we heard, "But here's..." then nothing.
- "We must go down there or what?" I said.
- I jumped next and then Jukkis and finally Awcy...
- We fell into the water. It was a little underground river.
- We couldn't do anything it was too powerful. We just tried to stay on the
- surface and breath. After couple of minutes river's speed slowed.
- It became wider. I could swim to a bank of the river. We were still underground.
- I saw a light and guessed that it was Particle.
- I walked towards the light. I saw Ooze and Particle sitting there.
- "Hi guys!" I shouted.
- They jumped up scared!
- "Hah, hah!" I laughed. My laugh echoed long time from the walls.
- Soon Jukkis and Awcy came too.
- "Now we must think what we should do", Jukkis said. "Gladly we have a
- flashlight." (Thanks to Particle. Also thanks to him that we are here...)
- Jukkis took the flashlight. He pointed the light everywhere. We could see that
- we were just on the little bank of the underground river. There was no way where
- we could go.
- "There's nothing we can do now", Awcy said, "so let's get some sleep!"
- We went to sleep. It wasn't comfortable because we got wet clothes on and there
- was rather cold.
- I woke up. First I didn't understand where was I. Then I saw everybody
- else. They were still sleeping. Then I realised that I could see them without
- the flashlight. I saw light coming from the crack on the wall.
- I walk near it. I saw that there was somekind of door. I tried to open it, but
- my strength wasn't enough. I waked the others and told them what I had found.
- They helped me and together we managed to open it. We could see stairs going
- up. We started to climb up. Jukkis went first (Our great leader in this
- adventure!) After couple minutes we came to a door. Jukkis opened the door
- (Squeeze, squeeze. Some oil would be good for that one).
- We came into a little room. There was any door. We thought there would
- be a secret door again. We searched and found a door. We opened it.
- We saw the livingroom! We were in the fireplace! Our luck was that there
- wasn't fire in it! (That's why there wasn't fire when I was in the livingroom
- first time!)
- "Let's get our things and get the hell out of here!" Ooze said.
- We ran upstairs and went to our rooms. I grabbed my bag and ran out.
- But still I was thinking about that dream. Well, it's nothing else than pure
- coincidence, I thought. I met the others and we ran out from the castle and
- what we saw outside! There was our car! And it was fixed!
- "Wow! let's get in", Jukkis said. But I think we must pay to that man,
- even if he is a little bit strange." Jukkis went in...
- We waited about 5 minutes and then we began to be worried.
- What's going on? We went in and heard sounds from the kitchen. We opened the
- door... And there he was eating sandwich!
- "What the fuck are you doing here?" we shouted.
- "I'm hungry!" he said...
- After that we left the place. We were on the road again. After a little while
- I had a funny feeling. I felt that there was something strange in the back
- of the car. I even could hear heavy breathing from there...
- And then there came Helloween's I want out from the radio!
- Oh shit, this is enough for me, I thought. But it isn't. When I looked out
- from the window I saw a sign: Welcome to the town of ... Hammerfield...
