Force of Nature

When pushed to the limits, we can sometimes manage things that no one else would believe. We grow stronger, sturdier, faster, whatever it is we need to succeed. There is no looking back on what we were before; we are forbidden to take so much as a peek at what used to be as we carry on towards a brighter future. A brighter future for the good of man.

Become a force of nature.

"What has come of you, traveler? Hast thou not strengthened thy spirit?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Hast thou no sense? Speak to me as a real man would!"

"What the fuck are you saying?"

I must admit that when it came to adjusting to my surroundings, I was a definite failure. There were many men marching around in armor that I was sure would drag them down farther than the depths of hell, women walking around in these weird gown things that made them look like they were older than they actually were, and children in ratty clothes that could have been directly pulled from a garbage bin. They all talked funny too; every sentence that I had managed to listen in on had me just as confused as I'd be if they were talking in another language entirely.

The woman who works in the general store gives me funny looks when I ask her about the things she sells and I'm forced to watch her expression to contort into that of confusion as I ask her if she has a cell phone charger. When I go to pay for what looks like a bag of something she thinks will "help me" she has to bite her tongue when she sees me pull a five dollar bill from my zebra patterned wallet (I don't even remember getting it; it must have been one of the parties I went to last week).

These forces of nature have some explaining to do because I have no idea where I am and what I'm supposed to do.
