Early one morning, Jack's dog, with its sharp claws, gnawed on a porkchop, causing Jack to draw his jaw tight with anger. He decided to go for a walk to clear his thoughts and found himself exploring a new neighbourhood, admiring the old architecture of the storefronts. As he was walking, he spotted a saw and a pile of straw lying on the flooring of a construction site. Suddenly, a group of people started pouring out of the nearby building, and Jack realized he had inadvertently stumbled into a high-security area. He fought the urge to run and instead tried to look nonchalant as he walked towards the exit. Just as he was about to leave, a guard came out of nowhere and caught him, and Jack knew he was in trouble. He thought quickly and told the guard that he was a doorman, but the guard was not convinced. Jack was brought to a small, dark room, where he spent hours in a state of boredom until he was finally released. When he emerged, he realized that he had lost his wallet and his car keys, and he had to call a locksmith to have new keys wrought. All in all, it was a thought-provoking experience that Jack would never forget.
