    The document describes a series of events involving various people and situations. Many of the events were planned or anticipated to occur in the future, but did not actually happen due to intervening circumstances. These included planned visits by a Prime Minister that were disrupted by civil war, a school teachers' strike that was averted at the last minute, and a movie that was scheduled to start but did not due to a power outage. Other events were expected to happen but did not, such as a woman almost crying before seeing her mother and a person almost reaching for their wallet before realizing it was left at home.
