Dreamcatcher: after the cataclysm?

after the cataclysm?

trying to find a place to live, bailey and i find an old warehouse in a city. we sneak up to it, him first. i signal to him that i've seen somebody, too late, but it turns out to be an old friend of his. i walk over to join them. the warehouse is already pretty full, but i'm so cute and bailey's so nice they let us join in. we take them all out for coffee (we may be homeless but we're not poor) and run into some other "friends" of our, wealthy sheep. they must think we're crazy. i try not to let on the full situation (we're running from the law?) but they see who we're with, hobos and bums. we pool our money, us and the warehouse dwellers, and it comes to $3000, tho two thirds of that came from bailey. i still have a plane ticket to india, a return flight for a few months from now. in the warehouse again, talking with an old schoolmate, a "popular girl" back in the day. she's not the happyest girl now, we share stories of failure. we can relate to each other, surprisingly. out in the hallway i sit near the bowl of free chocolates, dark toffiffee being my favorite. in the end, i lose bailey. i don't know how, but he's gone and it tears my world apart. i wrap my face in a red scarf, tight like a mask, in my dark room dank warehouse room, with my few possessions beside the cot, preparing to kill myself- yet i still get upset that somebody sneaks in during the dark of night and rummages thru my things, looking to steal whatever they can find. at least wait til i'm dead, scavenger!

The Dictionary of Symbols

A symbol of individuality—of private thoughts. The windows symbolize the possibility of understanding and of passing through to the external and
the beyond, and are also an illustration of any idea of communication. Hence, a
closed room lacking windows may be symbolic of virginity, according to Frazer,
and also of other kinds of non-communication. Many rites involving the
enclosureimage are performed to mark the reaching of puberty, all over the world.
The legend about Danae, shut up by her father in a bronze tower, pertains to this
particular symbolism. There is a Siberian legend concerning a ‘dark house of iron’
which is also relevant to it (21). We might also mention the ‘vase with a lid’, one
of the eight emblems of good luck in Chinese Buddhism, and a symbol of wholeness, of the idea with no ‘exit’, or, in other words, of supreme intelligence triumphant over birth and death (signified respectively by the doors and windows of
the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
a variant form of the ‘vase with a lid’.
