By the time I Ieft Doh's Pub all the tros had stopped running. I stood and waited for an ᭧benendrꜽ to come. An ᭧benendrꜽ is a fast moving air bus that lifts off the ground and moves at turbo speed, when they run. It takes a long time between, runs about every merꜽ on the merꜽ, (hour) and one was just leaving as I as I ran to catch it. I just missed it, and threw my hands up as it passed.

The guard who had clearly seen me running to catch it, had said nothing to the ben operator to get his attention that I was coming. We made eye contact for a brief second, before he dropped his gaze. I didn't trouble myself to ask him why He didn't hail the driver for me. He would need me before I needed him, I thought.

My disappointment betrayed the mood of the festivities exploding all around me. As I sat, waited and watched, the revelers threaten to party until the break of af✦trꜽ (Afsastet's star like the sun)
A barage of voices out of sync with the loud music that blared from an old speaker sounded static, in my ear, and kept me from arranging my thoughts.

Then a loud commotion from behind me startled me into fighting stance. A Bacoh prisoner awaiting transportation to internment camp had somehow broke his bonds and ran into the crowd. I chased after him, wanting to catch up with him before he disappeared into the crowd.
