He woke up coughing, turning over to let out whatever few contents were left in his stomach. Where the hell was he? It was definitely not his apartment, which is the last place he could recall being. So...how did he end up in an alley? He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He was pretty disoriented and he was pretty sure he had more oxycodone and bourbon in his system than was legal in just about any country and his cane was nowhere in the immediate vicinity. Walking was about to be a big problem, but he couldn't very well stay in the alley all night, could he?
He pushed himself up slowly to his feet, leaning quite heavily against the building he was behind for support. If this was someone's idea of "proving he's an addict", he'd murder them when he found out who was behind it. For the time being, however, he needed to figure out where he was and that simple task was a lot more complicated at the moment. Sure, he was mostly numb considering the amount of pain killers in his system in that moment, but considering that same exact fact, it was not any easier to walk while mostly numb as it was to walk with ridiculous leg pain. At least there wasn't pain this way.
Eventually, he found his way into a nearby cafe. He had half a mind to think he was hallucinating. Had that girl said he was in Kansas? How did he even get there? He had been well on his way to overdosing in New Jersey not long ago. And the year, what did she say?
"It's Friday, May twenty-fifth, twenty-twelve." she repeated.
"Right..." He shook his head, clearly one of them was hallucinating, he just wasn't sure which of them it was. Before he even had a chance to get another thought processessed through his drug-and-alcohol-clouded mind, she was directing him to a computer and a website she claimed he would find all his answers.
