I especially remember my mental state during it all. Including the person I was hiding with who was under great bondage in her mind. She would not dare to discuss anything. For fear that she would do something wrong. Or to even think something wrong.

I remember being on a wide street with many lanes going each way. But without any traffic anywhere.
