I was attending a banquet with lots of people that I hadn’t seen for a long time. I was feeling very nervous and took a seat at an empty table. Eventually the rests of the seats started to fill up but when it got too crowded for someone in a wheelchair to join in, I was the first to volunteer to move to another table. I was once again alone at an empty table at the other side of the room.

It was pouring while we were sliding down the side of the mountain on a giant raft. The ride was over before we knew it as we hit the metal grate where the drain intersected with the road.
