Groggily,
I opened my eyes to see a waterbug happily crawling about in the corner. It
kept hitting its head, as if there was a hole. Then he skidded along the trim,
as if he had one too many. Looking around the room I recognized nothing. Where
was I? Why was I here? Naked white walls encased me. A single window with
closed blinds was directly across from me. An empty desk with a chair was by
the door. Where did it lead? My head pounded like it been attacked by a legion
of tiny men with hammers. I looked around the room to see where the little
bastards went. It was one thing to attack me, but at least have the balls to
face me afterward; I felt cheated. To cap things off, I had an odd taste in my
mouth like I'd been french kissing a dump truck. My jaw played this peculiar
melody of cracks and pops as I yawned.
Rubbing my face, I discovered a beard long past the need of trimming. I
sat up wondering what the hell happened. I had a strong urge for a smoke, a cup
of java, and a little loving. However, by looking at my surroundings I figured
the first two were a maybe and the last was out of the question, but there is
always hope. I heard a muffled scraping sound, like something was being dragged
across the floor. I saw the top of a head and two beady eyes peeking through a
transom. Someone yelled, then I heard a thump against the door as my peeping
tom jumped down, fucking perv.
My body
felt heavy, as if someone was sitting on my shoulders. I was able to stand, but
walking seemed to be something else entirely. My feet felt were as though I was
wearing cement shoes. Shuffling my feet
forward stopping every few steps to steady myself, I made my way to the desk
and leaned against it. Voices streamed into my room. I heard a woman screaming
and another singing about a ticket to ride a double dutch bus. I rifled through
the drawers to find a clue, but they where empty. Carefully, I headed towards
the door. Not sure, if I wanted to let that world into my space, but I needed
answers. Where was I? How long I had
been here? Finally, I made it to the
door and opened it. No way was I ready for what I saw.
