I opened my eyes. My head was pounding but I wasn't quite sure why. In fact, I wasn't quite sure of much of anything; my mind felt clouded and broken.
Where am I?
As hard as I tried, I couldn't remember. The only thing I knew for sure was that I was indoors. The room was too dark for me to make out any details; I could only tell that it was quiet and felt reasonably cool. I would have to get up and fumble around the room, trying to find some source of light, if I wanted any more information than that.
Who am I?
The next question should've been simpler to answer, but I ended up just as stumped as with the first one. I could not remember any details of my life. My name... a blank. Where was I from, what did I do... all answered with nothing, along with my family, friends, and interests.

"W-who are you? Where am I?"
"Are you feeling all right?" the voice continued. "Don't you recognize my voice?"
I shook my head, a useless gesture in the dark but one I did by habit. "I-I don't even remember who I am right now."
A slight chuckle came from the voice. "How could you forget a thing like that?" it said.
"I'm not sure," I answered with mounting fear. "Please, just tell me. Maybe it would help me jog my memory."
"Fine," the voice conceded, "I'll help you. You are...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
