It was not a street anymore but a world, a time and space of falling ash and near night. He was walking north through rubble and mud and there were people running past holding towels to their faces or jackets over their heads. They had handkerchiefs pressed to their mouths. They had shoes in their hands, a woman with a shoe in each hand, running past him. They ran and fell, some of them, confused and ungainly, with debris coming down around them, and there were people taking shelter under cars.

She gave him a bottle of water... WHY does she take it back? Why does she twist the top off?

WHY does he need to put down the briefcase now that the top's off?

WHY is she handing him a bottle of water?
