You are in a narrow dark alley way between two brick buildings. The ground is littered with trash, old newspapers, empty cans, bricks set up as a fireplace with an arrangement of pipes over it. Beside it is an army messpan, inside filled with dirty snow and ice. At the east end of the alley is a fence, behind you is the street.
