Rungkhin


I am looking down at a panorama of (the dreamescape) Hong Kong, all tall, pale buildings with countless wee windows packed into a tight street plan. This seems to be on a promontory(?) and through the gaps in this tight-knit cityscape I can see smaller islands dotted about, each populated with oversized red triangular tents and Russian soldiers – they have occupied HK with China's consent. My POV pans along this scene to the left. At one point I (just about) witness a soldier throw a Molotov cocktail into a huge looming tent, only the result is lost as the scene steadily vanishes 'out of shot' -

At the end of this promontory three men, two of whom are garbed in yellow waterproofs, the other in a white jacket and black trousers waterproof combo, are fishing on a low square pier/wharf about 1m above the sea level. I instantly think 'he's gone' as a wave surges up and engulfs their standpoint, washing the furthermost man out into the (now) rough waters. The two other men dive in to his rescue, one grasping his legs, the other his head and shoulders. There seems no hope now as another mighty swell pushes the doomed trio further out into the churning ocean -
