The moment I awoke, I had a few questions. Though I knew I wouldn’t be getting any real answers I still had to ask them.
What Happened?
Where is this?
Why does my head hurt?
….. and perhaps most importantly of all…
Who am I?
Well…. That was unexpected. Maybe I should open my eyes and see what the heck is going on.
Slowly, I opened my eyes, adjusting to the pain that doing so caused. Hmm… okay, eyes open. I seem to be laying down on the ground in a cavernous space of some sort? I can't tell much other than it is dimly lit, and everything looks grey. How about sitting up and looking around?
As the pain and nausea washed over me I decided it would be best to wait a while longer, as I don’t want to be laying or sitting in a puddle of my own vomit.
Maybe I should confirm a few things while we wait. I know what my name is because that screen told me. But what is the screen? Dang, no new screen explanation. Okay. I won’t be discouraged by one failure. Perhaps the screen information is limited to me? How about this, what is my current status?
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Well… Ok. So. What. In. the. Actual. Fuck.
At least now I know why my head hurts and I have no memories. Also why trying to sit up brought me close to losing my lunch (Did I even eat lunch before all this?). Okay. So. I know who I am, but have no idea as to what I am. We're off to a wonderous freaking beginning of whatever this is.
I’ll worry about what all of that other stuff is about once I clear those errors. I assume that would be done by defining myself. I'd like to know more about my current situation before I start changing myself using whatever these screens provide, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
Alright, so, how do I “define self”?
Oh. Great. No Pressure or anything. Well, even if I screw myself somehow, it isn’t as if I can tell what will be a good or bad idea, with what little knowledge I have.
