I chuckled lightly to myself as I stopped walking, and took in my surroundings again. It was absolutely pitch black, but I managed to find a street lamp which had gone out, the obvious cause of the darkness. I listened for any sounds of movement, but there were none, just the ever present aching of my heart and the drunken, ringing of my ears but then I heard it.

I wobbled unsteadily to my feet and for the first time, caught a glimpse of the bulldozer who had tackled me to the floor. 

I nearly, bent over and laughed.
