The tragic fall..

I am in sheffield in netheredge, and I am showing some friends round russel's parents house.. Its much bigger than we imagine it to be, they are still working on it. Its as if they are building about 6 mansions all on the same bit of ground. The scale is unbelievable. And they are using al old fashioned building techniques. I see russels dad working away, and he shouts down, "have you seen the tower?" He points to this tall circular tower, and suddenly I'm transported to another time, and its a hot summers day and visitors are going up the tower to see the views from the top. The views are spectacular, and russel's parents have been charging some money for this. I go up with 2 friends from my primary school, and we climb right to the top room. We meet a bunch of girls just below the top room, and they help us into the top room but won't join us there, its too scary. There are these little windows for looking out at the views. This top part of the tower is rotational, and cause its a windy day its spinning round and round in circles, making us quite dizzy. We are all a bit nervous about standing up because it feels like the tower will colapse, but when we do, we can see through this higher window, which not only shows us the city below, but also over the hills and yonder, a view of everything. One of my friends, the less cautious one, gets a bit over bold when I say its time to climb back down.. He climbs out of the window of the tower and begins to climb down the outside of the tower! One slip of a hand and that will be the end of him. He does slip, and falls hundreds of feet onto the ground below. We run down the tower and at the bottom we meet nurses. Miraculously my friend has not died, but he is likely paralyzed for life. - Later I find myself at coed, and timo has been working on a new crazy sculpture. I have my shed at coed, and people are visiting me in it. Some people don't want me to be there, and some people do. Its a confusing state of affairs, so I just act the fool and pretend I don't know any thing about it.
