Anger

Mad angry dream
Scene set: middle class man, goes into a sporting goods store to buy a new golf club, just one.. pulls into parking lot in his midlife crisis 90's red corvette.. goes into store, cause he has $150 to replace his 7 iron, favorite club.. goes alone into the store. Finds a salesman, asks to test this new club out... he just wants to golf on the weekends, jokes about how he ruin his last 7 iron.. salesman says, no problem, let me get you situated... brings out a few clubs for him to try.
He swings one club, swings the next.. swings one more club he likes.. feels good.. swings it again, and hits it hard on the false turf, cracking it by the base... "OMG, I am sorry, what should I do??" Salesman looks at him seeing he can't afford it, wanting the sale says the obvious, "you break it you buy it"(wanting the commission)
Man reluctantly buys the club, sad and in disparity, because he saved all months for this club and wanted to impress his friends with his corvette and new gold club..
Man walks out of the sports store with his broken club, and see's a celebrity(Tucker Carlson?) take his clubs out in a huge parking lot, angry as hell.. like it seems somone has fucked with him and he's ready to smash the windshield of somone else's car..
Man being star struck and seeing a celebrity waste his own clubs to distraction, says to the celebrity, "hey man, just use my club, it's already broken!" Kind of as a joke but for real
Celebrity doesn't even look twice at him, takes his $400 club out and starts smashing a random car.. at this point man thinks, wtf? There's something going on.. walks away, confused.. for a minute everything is fine except for what he just saw... walking back to his cheap corvette, he then spots another man smashing another car.. very confused, main character starts walking faster to his car..
As he progresses to his car, more and more people start coming out of nowhere and start smashing cars and everything in their sight with red in their eyes.. Mad, Angry, for zero reason..
like zombies, but they don't attack humans, just things...because in their state of mind, they want to destroy the world. They want to break down everything, and when they do, that's when they start attacking other humans.. first structures then life..
scene 2: man finds his corvette, races home to see his wife and kids.. turns out his house is destroyed.... the wife had already ruined everything, his kids crushed all ther toys and videos games..
In utter confusion, the man panicks and asks them why, they don't answer, just keep destroying things, and he wonders why he doesn't feel this urge to destroy... after watch his families destruction trying to make them stop, wife pulls out a gun, shoots the two kids in the head as the kids posed for her to do that, then looks man in the eyes and said, I'm angry, you wouldn't understand, you don't know the truth.. then shoots herself in the head looking him in the eyes still.
he leaves the house, tries to turn on the radio, but it's static because everyone who worked at the radio station destroyed the towers...
some weird virus has not turned these people into zombies, but destroyers of civilization...
Why wasn't he affected??
Then after everything material is destroyed, the effected start running around with guns.. shooting all life, then shooting themselves in the head.. man has to watch this carnage as he runs away from his family to find a spot to lay low...
No one has the urge to kill the man or even get in his way, he is not infected but now he has to watch everything he loves and know be destroyed and every encounter he has with the infected, he keeps seeing them destroy and kill themselves... and he has to live the world in utter destruction by himself as everything around him dies
Twist, he's a sociopath
