Exploring an old abandoned building with a friend, similar
to Rachel and Wyatt’s apartment complex. It feels like we’re embedded in a
live-action story narrated by an unknown voice, a story with a somewhat tragic
ending but the ending is yet to come. Alone. We’re left alone. Some lights are
working but most of the hallways are darkened with only a faint glow from the
streetlights coming in through the windows. I come across this cute little
wiener dog. I forget his name but I’m compelled to pet him. Later I notice his
face is contorted revealing his jaw line. It’s understood a car hit him. Two
shady black guys come marching out of the elevator. I suspect they had
something to do with it. I question them but they’re being evasive.

Waking up at 10 a.m. A sharp sunlight shines down on my
sleeping spot through the shade-less windows.
I drive into the Georgetown part of DC and turn in my
Russian visa application. The process of visiting another country is so
complicated. I had no choice but to deliver this in person, as this is the
requirement of the Russian Consulate.
Afterwards, I stop into a small coffee shop and order an
Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese and a Coffee. Then browse overly priced
antique books inside a tiny used bookshop.
Then, on the road driving back to Virginia Beach.
...
Lengthy phone conversation with Leslie. I haven’t really
talked to her since the Blacksburg trip last week. Catching up on recent events
and ideas. She mentions how I’m one of the few with whom she trusts and is
comfortable enough to confide in. I notice a slightly new spark of interest in
our friendship from her end. I like it and I’m grateful to be a part of her
life in such a meaningful way.
