We make immortality look good.

This was perhaps, the most bizarre dream I ever had. It was more disturbing than terrifying, and in hindsight, humorous.

So I guess I was walking through this weird town on a hot summer day. The kind of town were not everyone's yards are well manicured and the air is dirty. There was cracked pavement and we were walking up a hill.

I saw this flyer on the ground and picked it up. It was advertising this really creepy thing. Apparently the town was known for this odd "family" that lives in a rundown haunted-house-esque place thats collapsing in on itself.

That guy there in the picture--He's not a burrito. He's wrapped up in a nasty rug. You know, the ones that smell bad. In fact, its most likely the spongey material you place beneath a rug. Degrading spongey material at that.

So anyway, that person in the middle was a vampire with purple teeth and the flyer claimed they were all immortal (and old). There were three people on the flyer, but I couldn't remember the one on the left so I made it up to match the theme.

Anyway, my family was like, "We've got to check this out," so we go to the mansion, and of course its full of spiderwebs and the floor slopes down in places. Some parts there are holes in the floor. If this was real life, it wouldn't be standing.
We get to the attic, and sure enough there are the people on the poster. The burrito-dude is leaned up on the arm on a couch so he's nearly horizontal.
Its a cramped little room with dusty light and a bunch of sagging sofas packed together and weighed down by innumerable old people. Creepy fat old women (no offense to anyone intended, I like most old people in real life) with pleasant smiles. (I did not notice any men besides the one in the carpet.)
Its some sort of rotary club thing.

A strange understand befalls me then. They aren't immortal at all, but whoever is marketing them knows what they're doing. Whenever one of the "freaks" dies, it is replace by another old person to hold up the title of "immortality".

Perhaps this dream is most creepy because it actually kind of makes sense.
