The Road to Lodenshire

The first thing he said was "What?"
'What' was the right word to describe the strange occurrence up to that moment. Before this, there was nothing and now suddenly there was everything. He had a body, he could feel the grass between his hands. He could hear the sounds of the forest around him. He could see the girl lying beneath him as he loomed over her. 'What' was the right word indeed. He stood in that position above her for a moment, breathing heavily. She was breathing too, her expression panicked yet confused. Slowly he moved off of the girl and laid on his back, looking up to the trees and sky above. They laid there next to each other for a long moment, both catching their breath.
It was then that the questions began to hit him. Why was he tired? Why was there a girl beneath him? Who was the girl? Who was he? He began to panic internally. He could not remember anything. Who was he? Who was he? Who-
The girl sat up and looked at him. "Are- are you real?" The girl suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts, "I mean, like a real person?"
"Yes." He said, knowing at least that much.
