The Fun Accident by Fonne Tayne
July 2nd, 2007 9:12 PMJourney To The End Of The Night: Glasnost
Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.
This is a long documentation that I put together to figure out what exactly happened during Journey to the end of the night. I didn't want to do 'make a new map', but this was a good way to describe my accident when I got separated from the rest of the group. The rest of Journey will come sometime soon in the other task, since all of us were together.
It didn't really have a place in the other, for during a long while, I was alone. Here's how I made it to checkpoint 3, once getting lost.
Some of the most harrowing moments happened between North Beach, Chinatown, and Nob Hill.... I still can't believe I made it out alive....

The whistle blew at the southeast corner of the green area, near the stone spheres.

From Union st., I zagged into Via Ferlinghetti.... an apparent dead-end.....

The first miracle of the night. I went through a door to nowhere and exited.....

...to the street, where within a bock I was chased again.

From the bar, I made my way down towards the tourist area.

In Chinatown, it was difficult to approach the 2nd point.

Finally getting up to Mason St., I made my first run for a cable car.

When it banked east (downhill) I abandoned ship.
