Homeless

A fragment in which a homeless man follows me and pleads with me to take him home and feed him. I respond that I can't, I just can't do that, I don't have room.

Fire

I was in a large building and saw from a window that there was a fire in the equally large building opposite. It spread rapidly until the whole length was engulfed. There was a sense of foreboding, as if this was the start of events that would change everything. I saw someone I knew and we agreed that we should leave quickly. I went to collect some personal belongings and when I returned he had gone. I found that somehow I had picked up two pairs of gloves and was annoyed at myself for the duplication but decided they might be useful and put them in my pockets.

Back to front

I'm at the back of a large building, outside the main structure moving via ledges and fire-escapes. It's dark and I'm trying to find a way down. I can travel a short way but keep coming up against obstacles. I see a man ahead of me who moves quickly down a certain route and I try to follow but find it too steep and insecure to continue. I feel a sense of vertigo when I try to see where he went and I have to wait a while to get back the nerve to move and try to find a different way. Eventually I find a way to get inside the building and I'm greeted by two people who seem familiar but they speak to me in Chinese. I don't understand what they're saying but it seems encouraging. I go out of the front of the building which appears, from this view, to be some kind of large railway station. The road outside slopes down.
