I woke up lying on a fridge. I just had a severe memory lapse due to trauma, and I couldn't remember much of anything. Some of the only things I did remember were
A) what hunger was (as I was hungry)
B) I knew what a fridge was and
I remembered that I had no clue of what just happened.
When I looked around for a while, I realized that I was dumped into a dump inside of a dump. In other words, I fell into a place that was full of junk, and located in a broken, disheveled city.
I wandered around in the trash heap looking for food. What I found instead was a thick piece of cardboard with a metallic internal chip that listed "Vampire Lord" as its title. I picked it up, and I stumbled around in the debris until I found the creme-colored fridge that I had landed on earlier.
I pushed over the fridge so that I could sleep in it. I looked inside the big, one-door fridge, and I found an unopened pack of lettuce. The lettuce was rubbery, and a brownish-green color, but I ate it like it was my last meal. It was getting dark outside, so I climbed into the big one-door fridge, shut the door, and I fell asleep almost instantly.
The fridge became my hide-out from then on. I built up a little fence around the fridge. The radius from the fridge to the wall was 5 feet. The circumference of the fence was 78.5 feet. Think of how much trash was there!
When I went to do my daily "Exploring of the Dump," I saw two more cards. One said "Vampire Lady" and the other said "Vampire Genesis." I wandered around more, and I found a disc-like metal contraption. The weird metal disc-thing had a wrist strap on it, so I tried it on my left wrist. It was a little wobbly, but I decided to keep it.
About one year later I went exploring. When I did, I found a trash can with a brown loaf of bread in it. As I leaned in and reached to pick it up, three men in black hoodie's and black pants jumped out of a deserted-at least I thought-alley. One of them said,"I think you have something of ours."
Another said,"Hand over the duel disk, and nobody gets hurt."
I was absolutely terrified of the strong, muscular guys. I could tell that they had been in more fights than I because of their ripped, torn clothing and the cuts and scars that littered their bodies. I have no clue why I did not just hand them the duel disk, but I said,"Nnnnoo."
The first guy who spoke screamed,"Get him!" I made an attempt to get away, but the guy who had not spoken grabbed me by the neck, and gave me a quick jab to my nose. I heard a loud SNAP! My nose was broken, and there was warm, wet blood gushing out. One of them grabbed the duel-thing off my arm and said,"We'll be taking that." Then all three men rushed away.
Then someone jumped down from a building and asked,"Which way did they go?" I pointed northward, and Mr. Mystery Man said,
"Stay here." Whether it was fear, exhaustion, trauma, adrenaline, that I had lost an ounce of blood, or any combination of them, I blacked out.
When I awoke, I was lying down on a pillow in a strange building. Mr. Mystery Man was standing off to the side polishing...my duel disk!
"Wwhere aam I?" I asked.
"Oh you're awake," he said. "Where's your family?" I stared at him for a moment, and then I replied,"I don't know who I am."
"Well, my name is Crow Hogan. You can call me Crow. You can stay here as long as you need to." I stood up and walked over to where my duel disk was lying.
"I repaired your duel disk, and I stanched the bleeding in your nose."
"Ththankk yyou," I stammered.
Then someone slipped into the room and he said,"Adopted another orphan?"
"Jack, he has amnesia."
"So...?"
"Amnesia is a loss of memory, Jack," Crow replied sarcastically. Just go get him some bread and water." Jack went out the door muttering under his breath.
"What are these?" I questioned Crow as I showed him "Vampire Lord, Lady, and Genesis."
"Are those the only ones you have?"
"Yes," I said.
"If you get thirty-seven more cards, then you can make a deck," replied Crow. "Maybe when Yusei gets back, he can take you to the dump to look for cards."
When Jack came back an hour later, he brought-I think—Yusei.
"Aare yyou Yusei?" I asked.
"Yes I am. What's your name?" he asked.
"Yusei, he has amnesia, and he can't remember his name."
"How about the name..." Yusei thought for a moment. "... Ash?"
"Ssure II llike ththat nname," I answered.
"Ash, are you cold?" Crow asked, surprised. "It is only 55 degrees."
"Yes," I replied with my teeth chattering. Crow looked taken-aback, but he went and got me a jacket.
When Crow handed me the jacket, and I put it on, Yusei and I headed over toward the dump.
As we walked, I told Yusei,"Thank you for taking me."
"You're welcome," he said.
"Do you want to see where my hideout was?" I questioned of Yusei.
"Sure." So I guided him to the circumference of the wall.
"This is the wall. If you look up ahead, you can see my 'bed'" I added.
"You slept in a fridge?" Yusei asked.
"Better than nothing," I replied,"and quite cozy."
