"Where the hell am I?"
That was the first thought that ran through my head when I woke up
this morning. I don't know how I knew I wasn't where I was supposed to be
before I even opened my eyes, because I don't know where I am supposed to
be. All I know is I am not supposed to be here. I don't even know how I
know that. Jesus, this makes no sense. I don't know my name, or who I am.
And no one seems capable of telling me. One man walked in here earlier,
apparently to see if I was awake. He left quickly, and he seemed confused
about something. That makes two of us, at least.
I seem to be free to roam around, but there isn't much here. We- from
what I've seen, there are only a few others here- are in a big old house in
the middle of some big country. Where is anyone's guess, and why is as much
a mystery. Whenever I met someone, though, they seemed edgy and eager to
get away from me. I heard them talking together. Maybe about me. I didn't
recognize the name they used. Am I a prisoner? Is this some sort of asylum?
I'm treated well. I eat with the others, and they gave me paper and a pen
when I asked so I could write this. If I ever regain my sanity or my
memory, or whatever it is I've lost, I want to be able to look on this time
and analyze it. Perhaps-
The same man who was in here this morning just came and left again. He
asked me if I was all right, to which I responded yes. What, I asked him,
was I doing here? His face took on a rather sick expression and he left
quite abruptly. I'm getting a headache. This has been a very long day and
I'm feeling the need to rest most sharply. I'll record my further
adventures tomorrow. There might be a car or some means of transportation
on the grounds by which I can get help. Do I even know how to drive? Is
there someone waiting for me? A wife? Children? There is no wedding band on
my finger. Will the others here allow me to leave? And most importantly,
how the hell am I going to get to sleep tonight?
