fugitives

August 2021

China first - Went to Korea became a fugitive for something. 

Met friend with lots of pets like Cash but more... Rats, Guinea, rabbits, all little animals. We went on heist with guns in bank mafia standoff and decided against escaping through the window. 

Three companions with me, a blonde woman, a white man looking ex military, a buff Korean man. Gun fight we survived when breaking out with all the money. Me and blonde ran to a mall to try escaping but bricks broke under her feet and we slid through a tube to an underground place. 

Found one root of the World Tree wriggling and screaming that broke when we fell. Chills, deep primal fear. 

Kepr climbing dilapidated stairs til we got to the top again, went to mall. Laoye was waiting for me there all smiley. Took him shoe shopping briefly then met up with my mom who was going to spirit me out of Korea to China again. She strapped me and Alston into her car on a stormy night and drove, minding the lane directions. 

As we drove past erosion barriers and curves of a cliff, storm worsened. Blue and violet lightning descended in the cliff, landing in a valley right next to us. My mom remarked on its beauty before it bounced up like a dragon and into the road. We swerved with a bunch of cars and got hit. 

I felt the sizzle of electricity all down my right side, rang in my head. 

Mom shrieked and laughed and said we need to call 911 but rhe numbers came out jumbled from her mouth. 999, 111, 110, 911, 199, she kept saying more but she couldn't remember Korea's. I asked Alston to google but he was sluggish. 

Mom kept driving recklessly fast around the mountain highway and I tried to dial my phone. 

Then I heard another phone ring. In despair I thought I dialed wrong. It was my alarm. I woke up.
