Somebody slashed my tires. All of them. I don't know why they are angry at me, but it seems I have no defense, I have to park my car, and they keep doing that. I have to hitch a ride with somebody else.

Some people are missing, perhaps kidnapped. Among them is my mother, and she texts me and tells me that some people are missing, among them herself. This is some sort of hint - she isn't supposed to know she is missing, or something. There is also some code involving the use of the letters 'n' and 'u' in her texts. I'm thinking about this, and I walk along a river leading to the sea, looking at all the creatures there, like eels and crawdads.

I lose track of time walking along the river, and it's late, like 4am, by the time I get back to where I'm staying, I think at the home of my cousin. There might not be anywhere to sleep. But it seems someone saved a bed for me, and I sleep deeply.
