"Help me..." My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the lights that were on in the room. I was surprised when I became aware that I was lying on something soft. "Was it all a dream?" I sat up, and I was shocked by what I saw.

I wasn't in my room. I wasn't at school, either. I had no idea where I was.

I looked down and saw I was in a bed with pure white sheets and white pillows. In fact, the entire room was white.

"Oh god... Am I dead?" I put my hand to my head. "I don't feel sick anymore... and my head doesn't hurt anymore..." I moved the blankets off me, and I looked down at my clothes.

"Okay... I'm still in my clothes..." I put my hand over my heart. "And my heart is still beating..." I looked around. There were no windows, so I couldn't look out to see where I was. There were two doors. One was a closet door, and the other looked like a door that would take me out of the room.

"I guess I should see where it leads..." I walked forward and slowly turned the knob. I pushed the door open and I was met by a small room. One wall had a large window with its blinds drawn. The other had a large mirror on it. The room itself was about the size of my bedroom back home. There was a white couch under the mirror with a coffee table in front of it.

"Okay... That doesn't clear anything up..." I looked around. "But I would like to know why all the lights are on in this place..." I looked across the room and noticed there was an open doorway that led into a small kitchen. There was a door by the kitchen which I guessed was the front door.

"Is anybody home?!" I didn't get any responses, which left me in an eerie silence. I never did like being home alone when it was quiet.

I moved towards the window, and I pulled apart the blinds to see outside. It was night, making it hard to see anything. Wherever I was, all I knew was it didn't have any street lights outside of the apartment. "I guess I'll just go see where the hell I am... Maybe someone will tell me what's going on..."

I took one last look at the apartment before I turned and headed towards the front door. I grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door open. I quickly stepped out onto the street and closed the door behind me.

"Okay..." I glanced around. "An alleyway really clears things up for me..." I looked up to my right and saw there was light coming from around the corner. "That way it is..."

I walked slowly down the alleyway. I didn't want to be hast and then walk right into trouble. I had watched too many TV shows and played too many video games to make that mistake.

I continued on, and then rounded the corner. The sight I was met by wasn't what I was expecting. Not by a long shot.

"We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto..." I walked forward and out into the open. People were walking around talking, which was something I wasn't expecting. "Definitely not Kansas... or Earth for that matter... More like..."

"Traverse Town."
