Wizards and Dragons

I was able to turn back time to a marker that I had set a while ago, so that anytime I was about to die I just "reset" back to how it was at that time, and no matter what was about to happen, I was ok. Like setting a save game in a computer game. I managed to escape from a couple of nasty accidents (drowning being one) like this. At the last one a guy gave me a package and told me to mail it to myself and open it the next day.

I did mail it but ended up getting it out of the mailbox myself when I realized that it wasn't going to make it back to me in time. On the package (wrapped in brown paper, about 8 inches long by 4 inches wide and cylindrical) there were instructions on where to open it. The instructions were things like "open here", "read this part of the letter", "photoshop something on this part of the wrapping", etc. I followed them, and it told me to take a stick and go to a certain place to test my faith. I think that the guy who gave me the package was the devil, and was trying to show me that following him was better than following God. I took the stick (to cut through cobwebs, had a conversation about this at the office party last night) and started running. I had to go from abbotsford to maple ridge, along the fraser. All the way along there were dragons that I had to avoid or shoot. I figured that the devil had made this normally quiet and uneventful journey more dangerous to show me how dangerous it is not to embrace him.

All the way along I shot dragons with my rocket launcher, ran around them, or used other people who were along the way as human shields and used their lightning guns to protect myself. I think I appologized to them for using them as human shields though.

I can't quite tell you the outcome, other than t ended in a gravel pit, but there was a lot of questions of faith, and should I embrace the devil or not (I didn't). I think he might have been setting up a protection racket (ie: "join me or those dragons might start some trouble"), but I can't be sure. All I know is I'm playing too much Quake 3 lately.
