I took in the scene in around me, everything was so bright and vivid. Standing around waiting for something to happen wasn't going to do anything good for me, so I began to walk. I didn't know where I was going, or even where I was, but maybe someone will be kind enough to help me.

After a few minutes passed I continued to walk, my legs slightly buckling from the long minutes of walking. My stomach began to growl, my face slightly flushed in embarrassment as I placed my hand over my stomach. I look around me to see many people walk by me, their loud voices overlapping. I decide to gather enough courage to walk up to someone in hopes to get an understanding of where I am and where I could eat.

"Excuse me." I timidly questioned.

A woman turns around and looks at me.

"Oh, hey." The woman greeted.

"Where am I right now?" I asked.

The woman quietly laughed, covering her mouth with her hand as she tried to stifle her laughter. I just deadpanned, I'm about five seconds close to walking away.

"Geez what hole did you crawl out of?" The woman joked. "You're in Zaban City kid, are you okay?"

"I think so?" I stuttered. "I don't know, so much has happened in one day that I don't even know anymore."

"You're not from here, are you?" The woman questioned with one of her eyebrows raised.

"No, I'm not." I replied.

"I could tell by your accent, where are you from?" The woman questioned.

"I'm from England, in the south." I explained.

The woman just nodded as she continued to look at me. Seconds pass and there's just this awkward silence,  my palms begin to sweat from nervousness. What should I say? Perhaps I should ask for this woman name?

"So...do you have any other questions?" The woman asked.

"Oh yes, I'm quite hungry." I explained. "Is there a place I could eat that you would recommend?"

"Oh of course, if you walk down and take a right there's a restaurant I always go to. Trust me, the food there is immaculate!" The woman exclaimed.

"Ah, alright then." I nodded. "Thank you again, good bye."

I waved to the woman before continuing to walk again. I made sure to remember what the woman said, I made sure to walk straight down the path then take a right.
