#see it looked better in my head but that's because i can't draw centipedes

Had a dream about some scary bugs

I tried to draw them but idk how to draw digitally

I'm just gonna rant about them now

These insects would set up hives incredibly quickly, within minutes, they aren't aliens or genetically modified either, it was rapid spontaneous evolution of multiple bugs at the same time.

The bulls are fast, faster than you can see. If i had to give an estimate around 300 mph, about half the speed of sound.

They can't turn well because they're bodies aren't flexible that way, in fact they can hardly bend at all despite their length. Theyre a bit like a stag beetle and a centipede mixed together.

Theyre wide but not very tall, not that their height matters when theyre that quick.

They occupy hallways, and loop around them over and over, they had a secondary name of "sweepers" because they stayed so low.

Any time they needed to go around a corner they were to long for, they would just smash the wall to make it wide enough. They didn't need speed to be strong.

They are COMPLETELY blind, they have rough indents where their eyes should be, but don't let that fool you, their hearing is better than anything else alive.

At one point in the dream my group thought we were safe after the bull left, a friend opened the door and it was off it hinges before she even walked out.

The bull had heard the door and charged down the hallway full speed crashing into the wall, terrifying, but its head got stuck because if that, giving us a chance to escape.

Think bullet train down your school hallway.

The watchers are a bit like weevils crossed with tarantulas, and they're huge. About the size of a garage.

They weren't very fast despite their many legs, and would move around by sliding on the floor.

Despite their size, they never made sound. Ever.

They're deaf, so sneaking around is an option, vut despite havibg no (visible) eyes, they could see incredibly well.

They would roam around as groups in large rooms that could fit them, cafeterias, auditoriums, ampitheaters, gyms.

Anytime one of them saw you,

They would all look at you.

The worst part is that they would throw things, but they were SILENT ever single time.

Cars, stairwells, sheds, it would just be flying through the air for no reason.

They didn't have telekinesis, but the way they would throw something from behind them withiut moving or makibg a sound made it seem like they did.

They would always do shit when you weren't looking too, at one pointin the dream I rounded a corner and one was just there, already staring at me, like it saw me through the wall. I looked up and there were about 40 of them just standing around watching me i turned to leave through the door but it was locked because of the lockdown, and when i looked back they were all closer than before.

They would move around if they didn't see you, but they would freeze the second they spotted any kind of movement, it was terrifying.

The third bug that was in the drean was the "wanderer" but honestly like the name "scarab" more

They were the only one that could fly and they used that to their advantage

At one point they were nicknamed "the pirahnas of the air" (which i think i stole from doctor who, the vashta nerada episode)

They would fly around in flocks and shred anything soft. They were SHARP.

Barbs, blades, needles you couldn't see, everything that makes you bleed.

They were fast as all hell in the air, which is so strange for the size of their wings. (not even comparable to the bull though, that thing didn't even seem living.)

Speaking of wings, you could always hear them coming because the wing beats were fucking deafening, like a million little whirring drones all in a pack.

The worst part about rhese guys was how they seemed so intelligent, like the velociraptors in jurrasic park. They would open doors, use elevators, ambush tactics.

The only encounter I had with them in the dream was actually just one, but it was actually what I ended up dying too.

After fleeing the school they used as a hive I managed to run to a parking garage, I sprinted up the stairs hoping that the height would give me some better protection while I tried to use my phone and find a hiding place, I reached the top and hid in the bathrooms with the lights off, but there wasn't any signal through the metal brick and concrete. I left the bathroom and there was still no signal so I knew I was gonna have to try somewhere else or just keep running, I pressed the elevator and waited for it too come up. But when the doors opened, a scarab jumped at me. I kicked it off of me with both legs after it tried to snap at my face, when it got stuck on its back, I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. My plan was to use the climbing caribeener on my backpack on the railing of the stairs, slind under the railing and cling to the underside of the stairs, then ditch my backpack and jump down to the stairs below and make a run for it (It was blocking the stairs.) I execute my plan, but my jacket sleeve its caught on my backpack when im upsidedown, I don't want to risk falling wrong so I try to jimmy it around.

Then it slowly hovered down and impaled me with its absurdly long tounge.

Stupid plan.....
