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?

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!
