From his prone position on the bench, he squinted and saw clouds and tree limbs. He had no immediate recollection of where he was or how he got here. It was the pandemonium around him that broke through his consciousness. A cacophony of sounds assaulted his ears. He covered them.
He bolted up. His surroundings were beyond his comprehension. There were carriages, but no horses pulling them. Men rode on two-wheeled conveyances. Overhead a metal bird went whup-whup-whup.
Suddenly a woman appeared next to him on the bench.
“Sorry. It wasn’t your turn to come. I will send you back.”
