The place where you find yourself now is so vast, completely empty of any presence... as if everything there was set there just for you. You might feel free to do as you please or finally find serenity outside the constant hubbub of modern life. Take a dip in this huge body of water, after all why not? You could do all that, but something is wrong and you can’t put your finger on it. A strange longing feeling comes over you. Everything seems so familiar but you have no recollections and memories of being there. Something about this place also reminds you of beautiful things you experienced in your past, good memories that make you smile slightly. However, these beautiful things are no more, the laughter and voices of loved ones give way to silence. The muffled sound of a breeze, the hum of a sizzling neon sign, only loneliness remains. You are totally alone. The shadows of the few objects left in this space draw cold silhouettes, like mute spectators staring intently at you in your growing anguish. The light is clear, too pure, you are not supposed to feel fear but you feel its symptoms. Your throat is tight, your chest constricted, your breathing is heavy, it resonates within you. The same question has been running through your mind ever since you got here.

“ Where Am I ?”
