" Never follow in someone else's footsteps. Instead, make your own."

I fell painfully on my side and after a while, regained consciousness. I got up from an awkward position and struggled to walk. A wave of soaring pain was felt throughout my whole body whenever I would step on my left foot. I guess I broke my ankle or something because of the fall . . . good thing I was able to bring some medicine before I left. I gulped it down and soon, I felt tremendously better.
It was only then that I started to become aware of my surroundings. Where was I?
There were a few sturdy-looking huts (translation: shops, houses). They had doors that would fly back whenever I would go near them (trans: those automatic doors) and some, whenever I would push or pull on them, made tinkling sounds (trans: sometimes, the doors have bells attached to it). I had to admit . . . I was very surprised at this . . . there was nothing like this at home . . . and . . . I had plenty of fun . . .
As I sauntered further along a stone path going uphill, I saw several other structures, bigger than the ones I saw just now (trans: tall buildings). This area was swarming with strange but colorful . . . carriages (trans: cars), and people wearing awkward clothes. I was surprised yet again at the several colorful lights making up something in Gibberish . . . it must be some kind of language . . . (trans: billboards, neon lights; Gibberish - English ~purple-snowbunny: Serge has a different written language, remember?)
I noticed that the place, compared to my home world, had a totally different impression surrounding the place. I could just feel it within me . . . this was a different world - very different from the one I left. Just then, a man brushed past my shoulder. He seemed vaguely familiar. He was wearing a long coat and a hat that overlooked his eyes, making it impossible for me to recognize who it was. I know I had met him before . . . he had the same essence that I was made up of . . . just that . . . it was darker. So, I made up my mind and I decided to pursue the stranger.
It seemed like several hours of pursuing took place. Finally, he stopped at one particularly large structure. He went through doors that forever turn round and round (trans: those revolving doors at hotels). I stayed outside for a good 10 seconds and was determined to go through those doors as well. 'Just follow his example. Follow what he did . . .'
The stranger, as if he knew that I was actually following him, but never actually looking at me, sort of beckoned me to tag along with him into the structure. And so, due to my brimming inquisitiveness, that is exactly what I intended to do.
I motioned toward the door and slipped myself in. I walked along until I reached the large enough space where there was no glass blocking the way. I was too slow and uncertain, so I missed several chances to get out of this forever revolving door. By now, I was fidgeting and banging my fists on the glass until I was right in front of that gap again and shot out like a gun. Currently, considerable amounts of people were staring in my direction, curious to see what the noise was all about.
I spotted the man again, by the moving stairs (trans: escalator) that led up to the next floor. He was slowly climbing up and I followed, jumping at the last step. I spotted several corridors. I continued walking on and bumped into a lady, wearing a red vest, with a matching hat and skirt. She was coming out of one of the rooms.
"May I help you, sir?" She looked at me strangely.
"Oh, yes, please! Have you seen a man, wearing a long coat and a - " I stopped suddenly because, out of the blue, there he was . . . the stranger was at the end of the aisle, about to enter one of the rooms. I murmured a hurried "Never mind . . . thanks, anyway, " to the lady and broke into a run in an attempt to catch up to him before he locked me out.
"Wait!!! Wait!!" I shouted. He heard my desperate cries and opened the door once again. Eventually, as if everything was slowed down, I reached him just in time. Then, he said in a deep, mysterious tone, "So . . . finally, you've come."
Is it just me? Or have I actually seen some whiskers peeping out of his still indecipherable face? He motioned me to come inside and offered me a cup of black liquid (trans: coffee). I did accept his offer rather reluctantly. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
