Mystery Prompt

Your character wakes up by the side of a freeway they've never seen before, in an unknown city, with an unfamiliar phone number written on their wrist.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had opened my eyes to the dark of night. Looking around I noticed I was on the side of a freeway and there was a phone number written on my arm. Why is this phone number on my arm and whats its importance. More importantly, where am I and why am I here. I started Down the desert freeway not knowing what else to do. A few hours had passed of walking before I had spotted something in the distance. From the distance I was at and the sun rising I could make out the shape of what looked like a gas station. I make my way over hoping to find a payphone so I can figure out why I have this number on my arm. As I had approached the Gas station I spotted what I was looking for. I silently cheered to myself as I dug around in my pockets for change. Pulling out the exact amount I needed I pushed the money into the machine and listened to it ring. "Hello" A voice rang from the other side. Quickly responding I tell the person about my situation and the number on my arm. "That's really interesting would you mind telling me your name," I thought about what my name was and I couldn't remember it. I started to panic about not knowing my name and ended the call by accident. Great guess I'm on my own.
