He woke up.
He woke up in Central Park with a huge bump on his forehead.
"Where am I?" he shouted. It was pointless to have shouted this. He shook his head from side to side, taking in the scene, and then got up off the grass.
Nobody had paid any attention to him while he was asleep in the middle of Central Park. Once he had shouted, though, everybody had stopped to glance angrily in his direction. He looked around at everybody's stares and shrugged it off, walking casually out of Central Park and becoming a shadow amongst the myriad buildings.
