Sniff sniff...
That aroma... it smells...good. I open my eyes. I look around. Where am I? This isn't my house...Who's house is this? It's warm in here. It feels good. I sit up. I should take my jacket off...ummm...Where is my jacket? It's gone! Hmmm...I should at least take my boots off, it's rude to have them on indoors...gone! I'm bare-foot.
I get up off the bed and walk around a bit, I stumble across the kitchen and the aroma gets stronger, accompanied by the blub blub bulb of boiling water. I walk into the kitchen and I see a boy at the stove cooking what looks like stew. I pull out a chair at the table and sit down. I assume he heard me, because I see him turn around and ask me a question, in a different language.
"Retteb gnileef uoy era, he, ekawa yllanif er'uoy ees I?" He asks...Wha?
"I'm sorry I don't understand what you're saying," I reply looking confused.
"Eh?," he says looking puzzled.
Oh goodness, this is confusing. Slowly, I say," I don't speak your language."
"Uoy era, evitan t'nera uoy? Ti teg I, ha!" He says looking like he understood me.
"I still don't understand..."I say.
"Oot elihw a stsal ti dna! Naihcanortnax dnatsrednu uoy pleh lliw llip siht. Uoy rof gniht eht tsuj Evah I, ho." He says, what language even is that?
He walks over to the cabinet furthest right and takes out a pill bottle. He opens it and hands me one. I look at it and look at him.
"Ti ekat. Rof gnitiaw uoy era tahw?"he says...I take the pill.
"Is that better?" He asks...wait a minute, I understood that...
"I actually understood that," I say in surprise.
"Yeah, I can understand you too, now," he says,"Could you tell me your name?"
"My name is Patchouli, but you can call me Patch, What about you?"
"My name is Dexter, but you can call me Dex." Hmmm...Long Red Mullet, green eyes, about my height, assumably the same age as me, fourteen, muscular,Yep you look like a Dex to me.
"So, where am I?"I ask.
"This is my house, I built it myself,"he replies.
"Really?"I say, quite surprised. Who would've thought a person my age could build a house!
"Ya, I did have a little help though."he says.
"Okay, that's not what I meant, though. Am I even in Plaquemine anymore?"
"What is...Plak-you-min?"
"Oh, it's a city in Louisiana."
"What is Loo-Wees-ee-anna?" He asks watch a puzzled face...understandable, this could be a different country.
"It's a state in the United States."
"What is You-Nighted Staytes?"I'm actually surprised at the moment.
"A country in North America."
"North Um-air-icka?"
"...Um...it's a continent on this planet."
"No, I know the geography on this planet like the back of my hand, and there is no North America on this planet. There are 3 continents on this tiny planet and they are: Apeirodasos (Ap-ay-roe-daso. The s is silent), Erinikilimni (Ee-rini-kill-imi. The second n is silent), and kolasi (ko-loss-ee)."
"What? What planet are we even on?"
"What do you mean by that? You should know your home planet!"
