Singed Remnants of My Gutted Life.

There had been an electrical fire in the old studio apartment...when I entered the room you could smell the burnt plastic, the singed stucco and wood... the west wall was gutted and a note from the landlord hung there to call her.  Hidden behind the note, just as they had been hidden in the wall was 2 medical supply boxes full of unused needle toppers.  He told me to leave...I had to find somewhere else to live.  Everyone thought he was dead...what was he going to do? - While attempting to renew my stay at a hotel I noticed they were trying to tow my car... I ran out and begged and pleaded with them to give me a pass considering my life was shattered and I'm doing my best to hold it together... I just don't need this to happen right now.  The cop was clear that he didn't believe my story...but that he would give me a pass.  2 days to find a new place to live and although the one that returned from the dead rejected me, I found myself still more concerned about him than myself.

HIgh Cost of Sugar and Cadbury Eggs

I dreamt it cost $22.50 to get less than a cup of sugar... it had to be purchased through a vending machine cause it was too dangerous to go back to the house to collect some... we rode in boats down the waterways between houses hidden under blankets to avoid being shot at... I collected purple and gold foil covered cadbury eggs to give to all of the children that had to stay in hiding, and some for the men that rowed the boats.
