Simeon staggered through the fog, a mist in halos around the streetlamps. His feet hurt. He wore shoes, but his socks were missing, left behind somewhere; he couldn't remember. He stopped beneath a streetlamp, looked up at the halo around the pulsing amber globe. He put a hand up in front of his eyes, fragmenting the light between fingers. The air was cold; his breath was cold. He walked on, leaving the halo behind. Simeon's ears ached with the cold. That's why he was in this strange sector, searching for a hat. That last place he had gone to, maybe he had forgotten his socks there. Where was it? A hostel near the port, he thought. He remembered loud roars, and heavy vibrations in the walls. They were people he didn't know--a woman, a man, and two cats. That was what he remembered most, the two cats. It was still amazing to him that cats had made it off the world alive, enough of them to start up again. Well, maybe not so amazing; even people had managed it.
