Chapter One: The Hyde Park Wanderer
“Excuse me Miss,” a man said, “ Miss?” In that moment I woke up. The bench on which I was sleeping was making my backache with pain. The air was cold and the night sky was only just waking up. I assume it was early morning because people were out for their morning strolls or runs. The person standing in front of me was a police officer.
“Yes Sir? What can I do for you?”
“You can’t sleep here Miss, you need to find somewhere else to sleep”
“But I’m not homeless Sir”
“Where do you live then? I can get you escorted back to your residence”
It was then that I realised that I didn’t know where I was.
“Sir, where am I?”
“Hyde Park”
I breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that I could get home from here. I look around, trying to find anything familiar or noticeable. But nothing registers.
“You alright Miss?” The policeman asked, concern ran throughout his voice
“I’m sorry, but Hyde Park?” I question
“Miss, do you know where you are?” He queried
“Yes, Hyde Park in Sydney”
The policeman looked at me as if I had gone mad. Then the radio on his shoulder sounded
“Sergeant Higgins, have you removed the young girl from the park?” Sergeant Higgins picked up the radio, but I could see the fear and hesitation on his movement. He slowly clicked down the button to respond. “Sergeant Higgins, do you copy?” The voice at the end of the radio questioned.
“Can you please send a car to Park Lane as soon as possible”
“Roger that, vehicle has been dispatched”
“Come with me if you will Miss”
I stand up and stretch for a brief moment. Then follow in pursuit of Sergeant Higgins. He seemed to be perplexed by me. I don’t know what I had done; I was just here in the park, minding my own business. I don’t understand why I had to come with him. As we walked, the buildings on the opposite side of the road caught my eye. They were a lot different to the last time I had been here. In fact, a majority of the park was completely different.
“Where am I?” I asked, I looked around, starting to panic, as now everything was alien to me. I realised I had never been to this place before.
