Take care to walk in silence and whatever you do - don't wake the city.
Ignore the liquid shadow that flings itself from lamppost to lamppost, always closing in and never quite reaching you. Duck into empty doorways and overhangs to avoid it leaping onto you next but never overstay your welcome.
Don't spend this time staring into closed shops, no matter how brightly lit and tempting their displays may be. There's no guarantee that they'll even exist in the morning and neither will you if the doors open. If you hear someone knocking or begging for help, just walk away whispering apologies.
Try not to scream when the pavement gapes beneath you, it just does that sometimes. No hard feelings, no ill intent - just yawning. Your footsteps have been keeping it up all night and sooner or later it will get cranky. Tread lightly as the night continues.
