I was at a relative's house. I think it was a kid's birthday. It was a kid's party. The place was a mess with screaming kids & gossiping mothers.
I did not want to be there. I tried to excuse myself politely but was thwarted every time. I finally decided to just leave. I could not find my shoes and somehow all the coats had been soaked.
Frustrated, I just walked out into a raw windy autumn night. The pavement hurt my bare feet. I walked up on the top of a concrete wall about 10 - 20 feet high and about a foot thick.
