I needed to find a way back home so I took out my phone to look at the map. I was somewhere south of Coquitlam and getting home was going to require more than an hour by transit. Someone next to me pulled out a green colored cigarette.

I looked out of the window and saw that all of the backyards were flooded. I jumped down from the second story and found out that the water was surprisingly clear.
I went downstairs to go to the restroom and ended up in the one that was in a state of disrepair. Most of the lights were broken save for a few that were close to the floor. The tiled walls were mostly smashed up and water was leaking from the roof. There was a large hole in the ground next to the urinal I was standing at and I could see rows of desks in a flooded classroom below.
We were meeting up at a coffee place called “The Great Pacifico”. She was reading a stack of books when I came in and greeted her. It had been a long time since we’d last seen each other. She promptly took out an ornate box with a Nintendo DS Lite inside and a pack of wet wipes. She asked me to clean the box and console for her.
I was looking for a place to eat around Seattle and ended up choosing to go to somewhere known as “food street”. I texted my friend I was going and she replied she’d be there later. I walked around the arcade and spotted some friends from elementary school. I stepped in front of them but they didn’t seem to recognize me. “Hey” I said, “It’s me, Clark.” There was a long pause before I explained that I had just recently moved to Vancouver. By the end only one of them sort of remembered me.
There were ads for interest rates of 6.7% on savings plus free thousands of dollars to claim all around town. I turned to my friends told them how money was fake if ads like that were real.
I had been selected for space travel and I had a boarding pass in hand. There was still some time left until boarding so I headed into one of the many computer rooms down the hall. I started playing a first person shooter game and hit off with one of the other players in the lobby. In a short span of time we had become rather familiar with each other and my parents, who were looking over my shoulder, teased me about us becoming a couple.
My old professor was hosting a Valentine’s Day event on campus and was also leading a featured “moaning choir”. Alumni and parents alike were invited to the many all-day events. My professor spotted me and walked down the steps and gave me a hug. He asked me how everything turned out. I explained to him how I was still looking for a job and that before coming over I was doing photography in Taiwan.
We were playing a game where were had to crawl around in a ditch to take cover to avoid a giant eagle from snatching us up. I enthusiastically agreed to laying prone underneath metal grates in between scrambling to the next grate as the bird circled above us.
My bank was offering a reward if I was able to beat Cho’gall in some kind arena.
