In my dream, my dad and I visit █████ ███ ██████ antique shop except the shop isn’t the same. It’s actually ████ ██████ but it’s not the exact same.

In the dream, the outside environment is made of minecraft blocks and a few feet away from the front door is an oasis.

There is a demon living in the oasis that is shaped like a giant raindrop.

In the dream, █████ ███ ██████ aren’t there, so dad and I wait for them to come back from a lunch break. While we wait, I find a small box filled with old photos. I dig through them and find two long, rectangular negatives. They are both hard to make out but the first one looks like unhappy children looking out the back of a covered military truck. I secretly thought it was children being taken to a German concentration camp. The other one is impossible to make out.

Just then, a curvy black woman with the most beautiful face I've ever seen enters the shop. She is wearing a red and white Victorian dress. In the dream I know her. She and I are good friends. She comes up to me and cries out in complete sorrow.

“Look at this, Kelly!” she says as she hands me an old photo.

It is of a very large, middle aged black woman with huge, misshapen eyes. I’ve seen her before in my dreams. She's been in them as an old time actress.

“What’s wrong?” I ask.

“I just found out that I reincarnated from her!”

“So?” I reply.

“Look how ugly she is! I don’t want to be that ugly! AND she worked for absolute racists”

“Oh. Well at least she didn’t do blackface like Joel Alson (in the dream I messed up his name.)”

Just then, the front of the shop vanishes and the demon the looks right at me. It says something but I couldn’t understand it.

It creates a pit in the floor of the shop with minecraft blocks and dad and I are put in it as punishment for a crime that we never commit.

The demon goes back to the oasis and dad and I start to find sand. We dig it up and build a pyramid to piss off the demon.

After a while, the demon comes back and sees the pyramid. He destroys it and vanishes every block of sand within a five mile radius. The demon tells us not to try to escape because he is going on a date and we won’t have anyone to keep an eye on us.

As he leaves dad and I start hitting blocks in a desperate attempt to escape. I find that the blocks break very easily. I look over to my dad and say, “the idiot left creative mode on!”

The demon comes back and sees me trying to escape. It hoovers over to me, gets right up close to my face and just stares at me until I climb back down the side of the pit.

After a few hours, dad and I start digging a tunnel but we glitch out and nothing gets accomplished.

I try climbing out one more time. This time I make it to the top and find my computer up there. I grab it, turn it off and play dead as two British safari explorers find me and drag me to safety

A short time later, I “wake up” and find █████ ███ ██████ looking over me.

I get up and I find dad looking around the shop like nothing happened. I start looking too and find the negatives, this time holding them to the light. The first one is of a man with a shovel standing beside a dead body that has been buried except for its head. Beside it are opened coffins. The other photo is of two dead boys laying on the ground facing the camera.

I try to show dad but it’s like he can’t hear me. The only person who notices me is ██████, who I really adore in real life. He hugs me.

The dream ends.
