And I was stuck in the factory where the poles came from.

I had to climb out into the auto shop and then stop to have some water because it's dehydrating.

Then go up, then wait for a guard who's passing.

I only got to the first wall at about four o'clock in the morning and wasted time trying to hook the rolls of barbed wire down from that, anchor them to the ground.

In the end, I...

kind of found a short way to get over this by taping up the two ladders into one very long one, carrying it in the middle, sliding it up the first wall, the first side of the wall I wanted to cross, climb up the top, use what...

weight i had but leverage really to walk along that ladder again and it would tip the other way so you go into it at an angle climb to the middle of the apex walk down the ladder and it tilts back up onto the ground the other side you you drag it off and carried it across in a loping stride that michael at the pole vaulter had um

told me to use when carrying something long and floppy like that banged into a couple of things I didn't see in the night including a big wire mesh thing got lost because I wasn't facing the right direction I thought I was and I'm seeing all new buildings and places and worrying about guards and things By this point he's exhausted he felt like he had nothing left

But the smell triggered me as I walked past the AIDS ward where they were all dying horribly.

That rotting flesh stays in the mind and stayed with me that night.

And when I saw a little moony face up at the bars there having a look, his bed must have been pushed over on the edge, I guess.

Anybody else would have screamed the place down.

Foreigner on the loose.

Farang is past it.

Paying so much no interest in it.

No doubt his family income wiped out by black market heroin in there just to keep him in his last weeks from screaming the police down.

It was three times as high as the ones I'd been encountering.

No way of teetering over that one.

And I'm covered in mud because I have to climb under one of the barbed wire bits and

running out of water, and I'd forgot about Mars Bar Creek.
