Hi. I remember nothing else of my dream than round dark goggles. Was it a dream? I can't tell but -when I woke up- I found a few new paragraphs in my diary. It's my writing but that's weird I can't remember writing this. Insomnias are affecting my memory.

[Diary page 1]

This is Fria, a huge city I only heard about. Someone told me it was on another planet, another dimension, another time. This city is under a giant glass sphere, I'm too far and can't tell if the rain go through the sphere or bounces on it. I don't know why I can see this city right now, I guess I'm in need of travels and escaping reality.

I'm on the clouds but that's not what we can expect of clouds. I feel like trapped. I feel bad. I feel like I'm not human anymore. Nor living. I feel like I lost any control of my body. Do I have a body?

The cloud took me to the city. I didn't see how we crossed the sphere. It's raining on me. I can feel my body now. And I can see right in front of me. "Au poisson heureux", a restaurant in which people kill cook and eat fishes. I feel terribly bad. Unsafe. I don't eat fishes. I don't eat anyone. No living creatures. But. If I'm in Fria city... what do they eat here on this planet? They don't have oceans nor the stuff we have on Earth. Do they eat oxygen? Clouds? Neon flashing light is blinking. Appears only "heure". Which mean "hour" in my country. Is it a signal to tell me it's the time for me to enter?

An old face comes right from the kitchen. I wouldn't say they're a friend. But I pretty like them. I can feel comfortable with them. But also nostalgic. An SCP-looking humanoid came from the kitchan too. Yeah I can tell I'm not on Earth here. That's truly another planet. He's wearing some steampunk clothes and that's pretty weird. It's not usually scary but... it is with his face. It's like he stole these clothes, which are not even the right size for a such tall "person."

His hat was pretty funny. Colorful but covered in dust. And his great round dark goggles... I can't tell if it was goggles or his eyes...

I love it! I've been sick the past two weeks but I hope to upload the other chapters I have and hear more from you!

Don't rush (and take care) ! My character needs some rest before the next nightmare! :)

I'm not familiar with the Bizarro fiction but it sounds pretty interesting

Developer

It has a lot of potential but some people just use it as an excuse to really weird stories that don't need to be told LOL. I see it, kid's stories are full of imaginations and crazy plots that you don't know where they are going...that's what I like about it. They really avoid the classic tropes with endings.

I just read the chapter 2. It's weirder and sounds great! It's even weirder I don't understand all words (I'm not an English native speaker) but it's in a way part of my experience. Such as a dream I can't totally understand ahah :)


By reading your game I can tell I love Bizarro fiction! Thanks for your explanation of this

Developer

Let me know if you need any help with the dialogue or context! Happy to help.

Thanks! I'm using Deepl when I don't understand a few words but it's currently ok. I loved the "image on all windows" and "crime question"

These are great promps!

I understand nothing. Why do this dream goes on? I never dreamt twices about same topic. I never had sequels to my past dreams... and this dream makes no sense at all.


[Diary page 2]


A red-caped woman entered therestaurant. I'm afraid he's serious about cooking her brother. Are brains a speciality on this planet?

Gosh he's scary. Hell on Betty what does she do there. She's more scary than him. My niece is weird she wanted to be a witch. Guess she succeeded if she can now teleport next to me when I truly don't want to see her. She's always asking for more money.


Gosh she even can speak directly in my mind. She doesn't want money this time. She "just" want me to take her seat by working in this restaurant. Why would I do this??


Is this "man" a mental slave-maker? Why do I write this stuff when I wake up? I want to sleep. But I don't want to dream again.

 It truly doesn't sound like a dream eithrr a nightmare. I feel aliv e and dead at the same time. I think I'm walking in a real street with a real weirdo pushing a hot dog cart. There's nobody in the streets. What would he even sell food at night? Reminds me the time I was walking alone outside after a party night and streets were empty... I felt empty too. Hungry. So hungry. I could had eat anything this time. But the hot dog man wasn't there. Anyway is there any food in his tiny cart?

What the hell. She's everywhere. Behind every single window. This huge large silhouette. Like a tall human but... It could have not been disturbing if there was not this perfect glowing circle in her belly. Like a hole that lets in the light of the flat. And yup this hot dog man is yelling at her.

I would throw a dollar or two through this hole. Then I'll ask this infinite human woman to destroy her buildings.

Hell. I'm back in my own building home now.
