I fell for a short time and found myself face first on a hard street where there was nothing but tall, dark walls looming over me. I was soaked to the bone. My clothes clung to my sling and what only made it worse was the water falling from the sky and hit me like ice shards.
I looked at the paper and walked out of the dark street and see other people milling around with giant hats on sticks. I looked around and read a sign that was by the street I was on. Main st. is what it said. I walked out and started to walk to the nearest giant wall with two glass doors. I pushed them open and sat down on a couch and looked at the person at the counter.
"Um...do you need a towel?" She asked.
I nodded my head.
She went to the back of the room and pulled out a big towel and gave it to me. "Here," she said to me. Suddenly, she pointed to a tiny door. "That's the bathroom, go clean yourself up some more," she tells me.
I get up from the couch and walk over to the door and open it. No one was in there so I went into the larges stall and stripped myself of my white dress and dried my body.
I heard the door open and then clothes were slung over the door. "Put these on," said the woman from before and then she left.
When I was fully dried I put everything on and got out of the stall and went into the lobby and the woman was there before. I handed her the towel and sat down on the couch, but away from where I was sitting before.
The woman sighed. "Listen, I don't know you and I have to go home soon so either leave or go to the police office," the woman says.
I nod and get up from my stop and just as I was about to leave the woman stopped me.
"Here," she says and hands me a hat on a stick. "You can use my umbrella."
Umbrella? What an odd name for a hat on a stick. Just what planet am I on?
"Thanks..." I say quietly. I open the door and walked outside then opened the umbrella. I walked in the direction of most of the people.
Okay, now that we blend in well and have an acquaintance, we should be doing well from here on out!
