(In case you were wondering, the 'chapters' are part of a story that I'm writing. The chapters will be intertwined with my normal everyday posts)
So. Here I was. Standing outside the taxi. Safe at last. Well... I hoped.
Kapp'n drove away after a quick goodbye, leaving me alone in the strange town. Now it was just me. Nobody from my past life bugging me, nobody from my past life to comfort me. I didn't feel abandoned, but I didn't feel comfortable either.
I made my way to what looked like a town hall, carefully listening through the door for any signs of police. It sounded quiet, but there could be a gang of cops quietly waiting for me. I guess I'd just have to hope it was safe.
The door creaked as I opened it. A quaintly dressed pelican looked up from behind a counter.
"Good morning!" She said "You must be Cherry."
"Yes." I replied, meekly.
"You were so little since I last saw you. How you've grown!" The pelican said.
"You... know me?" I said, surprised.
"Yes. But don't worry. We're nice. We won't let anyone take you away."
A thought ran through my head. Was this a prison?
