Lost...


Written in 11 minutes. No editing. I really like this for some reason.

-----------------------------------

Awake...


"I don't know what time it is or even the day for that matter."

"All I know is that i'm awake yet I'm not."

"Something doesn't seem right."

"I don't know who I am. I don't know where I am. I don't know..."

I have to get up. I have to get up and understand. I need to understand.

Maybe this is just a dream. Some horribly twisted, haunting nightmare holding me hostage from not only reality, but my sanity.

No...that isn't the case.

This is my reality and my sanity...well, maybe just my reality. My sanity seems to have been put on reserve until I can figure all of this out.

This isn't the first time I've woken up in a place that my brain doesn't compute as recognizable. However, this IS the first time that I have needed more than 30 seconds for the haze to disappear and my memory to return.

This is no time to panic. No, not yet...
Calm down...

Just get out of bed and turn on a light.

Perhaps it's the dimness of a room only illuminated by the faint hint of dusk that is causing this distortion.

No, but now my eyes would have adjusted to what little light was trying to sneak into the room.

Where are my slippers? I always keep them next to my bed. If I didn't, I would have even less incentive to drag myself away from comfort. Even when I travel, my hush puppy slippers are the first thing in my bag.

Forget the slippers, find the light...fuck, it's so dark in here. Just have to find the switch, it's gotta be on the wall.

Click!

Nothing.
I don't know this room.
This isn't my room.
It's clearly not my room, it's nobody's room.

There is nothing in here. No clothes in the closet, no personal sundries in the bathroom, and for sure no hush puppies on either side of the bed.

In fact that room is bare.

It seems I arrived to this room with little more than the clothes on my back... which are now neatly stacked and folded on the faux leather chaise in the corner of the room

But I wasn't alone last night.

There are two imprints shaped like bodies on the mattress.

Mine is hard and angry. Shaped like Jesus, the body language appears to have suffered in similar fashion.

The other is curvaceous and soft. It is peaceful and at ease with something. I guess that's the luxury of knowing what I don't

Where is she? Why would she leave so early?

This isn't her place so she obviously did not want to be here when I woke up.

There are only 2 things in the room aside from the furniture and the double breasted baby blue suit on the chair.
A Tag Heuer Kirium Quartz watch and a wallet with no identification but a stack of 48,49, 50... hundred dollar bills
This is too fucking weird, even for me. I've done a lot of crazy shit in my life, but I could always tell whether or not I am on the right track. This time I feel lost. I am lost and confused and perhaps what scares me the most is that I am not in control. I may not remember much, but the desire to be in control is one of those genetic traits that passed its way down to me. Some Darwinian bullshit about survival of the fittest. A need to be in control is just one of those things that I instantly know determines my level of comfort and right now I don't feel that comfortable. I
I feel lost
I feel helpless
I feel....I feel.....
I think i'm gonna be sick.....
