Surfin' USA

I was at the ocean at night with some friends. For some reason, we were all just hanging out in the parking lot of the beach, drinking and goofing off around a fire. Suddenly a ten-foot tall wave appeared from nowhere and slammed us. Nobody got hurt though, so we just thought it was weird and kind of funny. Then we saw another huge wave, even bigger, coming at us. This time, however, we saw it coming, and it was moving slowly, just faster than we could run away. Eventually it hit us, but like the last time, nobody got hurt, although it sucked that our stuff was getting ruined.

The waves kept coming, getting exponentially bigger, but moving slower. Finally we were able to run out of the parking lot and into a wooded road. I thought we might be safe now that the trees could diffuse the waves.

Then through the trees, or actually over them, we saw one last wave coming. It was gargantuan, probably ten stories tall. I could hear it tearing the trees up from the roots as the black wall of water came toward us. Realizing there was little hope of survival, I grabbed a tree trunk and held on for dear life.

Then I realized that I was an extra in the movie 2012.

  1. Yo i had a tidal wave dream recently!!!

    i was in a lagoon with my family and all of a sudden we knew the Big One was coming. it came and i knew they were dead but i caught it anyway and i REALLY caught it. I was body surfing better than ever before. I was riding that wave so well that at its apex I just started flying. A girl from high school flew up behind me a few minutes later and we held hands and spun in circles like skydivers as we floated down.
