i was on the way to my first set of classes. i got lost on the way, somewhere in south campus. i asked a woman for directions, she was full of this beaming radiance and peace. She didn't know where my destination was, and went on to explain, "At this point of my life, I worry very little about age." But in my abrasive rashness, I said, "Yeah, OK!" and walked away in the middle of her narrative. As I tried to walk further, I became even more lost. When I recognized this and turned around, I saw this woman atop a building. She threw herself off. I realized this suicide and how I had been oblivious to her condition and was swarmed with a feeling of regret. As this happened a low pitched scream scooped to a high pitch (like man to woman) and at the highest register, I woke up.
