I stagger through a crowd. Why am I wearing posh trousers, a white shirt and a wonky bow tie? No jacket, though.
‘Excuse me? Where am I?’
No reply – in many languages.
‘Help.’
People give me funny looks and a wide berth. I catch my reflection in a window: I look hungover, but not as bad as I feel.
‘Señor? Vuestros amigos lo buscan.’
Amigos. The boy points. I tell him merci – the only thing I can think of.
‘Mate. Crap, you had me worried. Better bring you back safely or Sharleen’ll have me bludgeoned.’
Who’s he? And who’s Sharleen?

Oh dear…. these stag parties are often taken way too far. Poor guy. Poor Sharleen!

Yes, indeed. Even though I can’t help thinking there’s something else going on here, too… Thank you!

Dear Sonya,
That must’ve been some stag party to cause amnesia. I’m a bit confused but I think that’s what is happening.
Shalom,

Brilliant 🙂 definitely not just a hangover – I’m imagining the stag do is a cover for a kidnapping, or alien abduction… Nothing is what it seems (maybe)!

It’s definitely not what it seems. I’m still working on plot, but I have the basics – it’s not aliens, though 😀
Thank you!
