I had a dream last night I was on Gaila/Gaira. The night before, my apartment building's fire alarm went off, assumedly on a fluke, but it sounded so similar it triggered PTSD. So had another nightmare last night. As i left the building during the alarm, it didnt exit to Sweeney or Marion streets, but to empty, quiet, cold, space. Woke up in a sweat, and momentary panic. I have survived a heavy building fire twice before, among other near death scenarios before that, from when I was in the US military, and after in civilian life, with the fires. So that sound/event flooded memories of that stuff, but notably, that horrendous noise alarm on Gaira.
Whats kinda funny, or amusing, or whatever, is during one of my fires, I swear I heard the Orphanage Fire music from Chrono Cross playing.
