Try a situation when someone in the room says, 'There's a dead person in this room' and you are wondering who he/she is. You realise that you are listening to a lady standing at the front of the room. The lady is holding a relatively thick book (no prize for correctly guessing what the book is) and leaves an impression that she is representing a religious body.
She says that today, they were changing the contents of the book she was holding. People are all gathered inside the room listening to her. She goes on to say that this would thus be a day where strange things happen, which is partly why there is a dead person among the group. The lady warns everyone about the foreboding disaster and tells them to evacuate the room to safety.
Somehow, everyone in there (including you) understands that the dead person would not be able to move far from the room, to safety. Everyone stands up and files for the exit after grabbing their bags by the left front corner of the room. You join them and are now carrying bags of things in your hands, like many others.
Everyone is trudging on in something that isn't easy to walk on, but they are still moving forward, away from the presumed danger. You try moving with them, but fail. You can't seem to move your left leg, however hard you try. You think that it's probably an obstacle that everyone just seemed to be facing and conquering more easily than you. You try harder and harder, but your left leg hurts and seems to be caught in a trap of some sort, but you don't see a trap.
A person overtaking you simply says "I know who the dead person is."
