Darkness was my world now... At least for the minute or so I spent unconscious after being very intimately introduced to that brick wall. Not that I felt it while being knocked out but upon impact I had bruised the side of my forehead and elbow as well as caused pretty much my whole body to become sore as I had kinda turned to my side when that brick wall came running at me...

Slowly the darkness faded into reality as I little by little regained conciousness. Moaning and hurting, I tried to sit myself up against the wall but my hand slipped on the cardboard box the girl had placed me on when she tended to me. Not only was the cardboard box a bit slippery but I clearly was neither strong enough or had the balance to get up anyway, so I accepted my position for now.

"Comfy bed you got me there, babe. Thanks" I said to her as I spread myself out on the box and closed my eyes. And that's when it hit me - I had called this sweet elf-girl "babe". Fearing the consequences of my words I immediately sprung my eyes open and said "Uhm, no! I didn't mean that "babe" part, I just... I... Ugh, I'm sorry. Really, I am, I appreciate you doing this for me". I bet my face turned at least four shades of red, because not only had I insulted the girl but also made the lamest excuse for it.

But then I remembered where we were, or at least where I hoped we were. I forced my eyes open and began to look around. Either the trees of the park had began looking like walls or we were in the alley! "Hey, did we make it?!" I asked the girl but before even giving her a chance to answer I panicked and blurted out "We gotta get indoors or something!". Looking around I spotted a rotting door, very poorly nailed shut from the outside, and the planks that had been used was also rotting.

So I waved for the girl to come over and then pointed at the door and said - "There, we can get in there I think!". I tried to get up again, excited about finally getting indoors and away from the everything, even for a little while. But my body wouldn't have it and failed me again. "Argh... Hey.. Hey, girl, you gotta break open that door an..." I didn't get any further as a strange noise caught my attention. It sounded like some vehicle close by. "..And make it snappy will ya? Either get me up and we'll do it together or just hurry up and break it down yourself!"
