Song: aglow(intro)-karamel kel

Visa days: 3

I get to the river and then I remember that I didn't bring any buckets. "Fuck" I say as I kick the ground. Am I really that stupid? Well, then I guess I'll go to the mall first. I should've just went to the mall immediately because now I have to go a big detour.

I couldn't have been more happy about me bringing my cassette player and headset. The walk to the mall should only be about twenty minutes. I walk lost in my thoughts as usual. I look at the ground or up at the sky.

The sky is clear blue and the sun is shining bright. It feels good on the skin. Even though the world feels pretty amazing right now with bright sun and quietness and music, I know that this world is anything but amazing.

In just a few hours the games will start and many people will lose their lives. Tomorrow I have to play again and I might lose my life. What if someone I love is in this world? Or actually I only love one person, but what if he is in here?

Suddenly I'm at the mall. I guess I was lost in thoughts again. I walk inside the halfway open slide-door. I go up the non-working escalators. I go to a store that has active wear and hiking things. They must have buckets.

I read at the signs that written huge on the walls. I go to the area of the store where I think the buckets can be. Sadly that area was the furthest in.

I walk quickly to the area and of course I was right and there various buckets in different sizes and colors is standing. I take two quite big red buckets. I start to leave the store when I remember that I should get camping stove so that I can actually heat up my food.

I go to the area that's called camping, so I guess I'd find something there. And of course I was right again. I must be some genius or something. I don't know what I should take but I take something I think is the camping stove and something that's gas I believe.

I start to walk back to the park and the sun is already setting. That's not good. I still have to walk twenty minutes to the park and then get water and then walk back home and then find a game arena that I can spy on.

I start running to the park since when I'll walk back home it'll take longer time since the buckets are going to be heavy. It's just chaos to run with the buckets since they're so big but I manage.

I get to the park and unfortunately the river is quite far into the park. I run and I almost fall a few times.

I can hear the sound of water. When I get closer to the river I feel drops of cold water splattering on me. I climb down a few rocks and hold the bucket into the river. The bucket get heavier and heavier with more water that fills into it so I almost lose it.

I repeat this process with the two buckets I have. It's getting even darker. It can't be more than 30 minutes until game arenas open. I walk as fast as I can with the buckets. I try to not spill too much.

I get back to my apartment. I put down the buckets while I lock up the door. It's a bit of a struggle to get the buckets in. I put them down I the middle of the kitchen. I then run into my bedroom. I spilled some water on my clothes so I have to change.

I put on some black tight athletic pants and a dark grey hoodie. I put my hair up in a low messy bun. I then rush out of the apartment. Right before I leave I remember that it would've been smart to have a binoculars.
