Pub on Fire #dreamdiary 83
There’s been a fire at my local pub.
It’s not my preferred local; that’s in the other direction from my house. This
is the one for hard knocks that you’d only pop in for a desperate pint if there
was nowhere else to go. The police have closed the road and street off to allow
the emergency services to finish clearing up. I race upstairs a people’s home
complex opposite for a better view; and one of the flats is vacant and open. I venture
into the unfurnished home to find a reporter taking pictures of the remains of
the pub. It’s been completely covered with smoke. Men are walking in and out
with furniture and are dumping it on the roadside. What caused the fire isn’t clear.
Was it an insurance job to convert the land into houses? Was it the pub company’s
usual tactic when things don’t go their way? Or did a true tragedy occur here?
