There was no sense of confusion as I found myself standing in the middle of an empty room, a fact that would confuse me later on.

Surely there should have been some sense of disconnection? Some reaction to the strangeness of things? But no, I remember feeling it was all... expected.

Everything was as it should be.

I was a different person then, in that distant few moments ago, filled with a boundless confidence in myself and in the rightness of the situation. I even felt... jubilation? I had succeeded!

This did not last long though, or at least I don't think it did? Time is hard to tell in a windowless, lightless room after all.

I stood in that spot for some time, expectant of something. I don't know why, not anymore, but clearly something was supposed to happen. Should have happened.

The feeling of sinking confidence is one of the sharpest emotions I have had since appearing here. That sense of self-belief had overwhelmed me before, it had defined me; it had perhaps numbed me to the isolation of the moment and its weirdness.

The loss of confidence finally bought about the confusion with the situation, a sudden grasping for memory, for context that I suddenly realised utterly refused to come.

I spent a moment standing there, trying to realise what was wrong, and failing to remember what was right. I sat down after an endless while, doing my best to remember... something. What was my name? Anything.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Or to at least regain the sense of certainty I had a moment before! I suddenly realised how comforting it had been, not to feel the need to question.

But I couldn't. it was gone, and it left me... as I am now. Questioning, confused, isolated and in the dark.

I am alone, in a dark and silent room.

... Where am I?

Welcome to my fiction. :)

This story is a concept I have been working on for a while. It is a sandbox adventure where I will provide several options to vote on per chapter. The character will then act on the one with the highest votes, for good or for ill.

I am new at writing so don't expect a masterwork, and the nature of this kind of story means it will likely turn into a mess. There will be times when the votes will be interpreted in a way other than what you expected when you voted, and there is little I can do about that.

All I ask is that you join me on the trip, you stay respectful in the comments and enjoy the ride. :)
