Look around for street signs or notable buildings to find out where you are.
Watch out for cars and scary looking pedestrians.
Swedish title?
Means "the dead angle" and is possibly refering to a song by Kent.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

You make your way to the pavement. Down the street to your left is a blue building on your side, after the brown, seemingly abandoned building you awoke from next to. On the other side, further down, maybe 200m, is a red/brown building with about 3 stories. Brick then glass then brick. Coming back closer on the far side of the rode is a building with privacy screens out front. They seem green and cream colour. Closer than that is a boarded up building, but rings are all outside the front of it, instead of paint. Metal rings...
Dirtectly over the road is a blue building. You notice the logo for a TV network displayed in the middle of the face of the building. To your horror, you realise you can't make out any of the other words on the building. They are words, but you can't read them. To the right of that buiding, is a bit of parkland, then a red building. The stree slopes upwards that way. To your right is the pink building then road.
A few cars drive past, but it is quiet on both sides of the sidewalk.
Study the letters off the words on the TV network building for a moment, in an attemt to figure out which region of the world you're in. Is it latin alphabet? Do you recognise all the letters?

Try and talk to any people you see. Ask them if they can tell you where you are.
- Four Horsemen of the Presence
You wait until a person walks by. Its only a few minutes.
Its a middle aged woman. She seems only slightly irritated to be stopped.
"Hello ma'am, I wonder if you could tell me where I am. I can't seem to remember"
She looks at you funny, blank look on her face.
She says something to you, but you can't understand her.
She sees your lack of comprehension, and mimes towards you, her mouth, her ear then a thumbs down.
She shrugs, with a sorry look on her face, gives you a wave, and keeps walking up the street.
Cross the road to the TV building when it's safe and see if they are open.
