Old man teaches me how to punch properly.
"Make a triangle with your knuckles, like this," he arranges the knuckles of my fist into a triangle.
"Then, when you punch, flick them like this at the last moment," this he demonstrates with his own fist.

Driving in the dark through an old city--probably Philly. Three-story row homes line the streets, with taller apartment buildings interspersed. I pass a row home fire on my right. Firefighters are already attacking the blaze. I turn right and a ball of fire explodes from the top floor of another row home. The concussive force of the blast shakes me. I drive further along and a third row home bursts into flames. This one prevents me from continuing on the same road. I turn left and find more fires and wonder how many fires the fire department can handle. I realize they'll need to call in fighters from other towns.

I'm frustrated because I cannot continue on my journey. I always drive the same route and now I am disoriented.
