Where am I?

My head hurts. I'm lying on the floor in a room. I don't know this room. The room is barely illuminated. The only light is coming through a tiny window. I step into the light no matter how tiny the spot is. I just don't want to go into the darkness. The room isn't decorated. There's a chair, a door, the window  and a table.

Why am I here?

I've never seen this room before.

As I look out of  the window I can see a city I've never seen before.

I step out of the door and discover that I'm on top of a roof.

I've never seen the roof.

It's covered with blood red stones. 

How do I get down?

What am I supposed to do here?

Suddenly there's a noise. 

Footsteps approach the door.

Someone opens it.

It's a man.

I don't know him.

He walks straight towards me and hugs and kisses me.

"Who are you?"

"I am your husband, dear. Blimey how much did you drink last night?" he answers in a deep voice.

What's going on?

Tears start rolling down my cheek.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM.

There's a funny feeling in my head. It feels like something is tearing my head apart. As if something wants to escape.

HELP ME!

What's happening? That wasn't me.

PLEASE HELP ME! IT'S A TRAP. IT'S NOT REAL! JUST RUN!

Flickering lights and swirling colours appear in front of my eyes. 

The lights change into darker shades.

Suddenly I can see a pair of eyes staring at me.

The eyes look terrified.

Tears are flooding those huge eyes.

There's a reflection in them.

Like a memory.

I can see a body in the reflection.

My mum's body.

The little girl -me- has managed to creep into my head.
