[Enter a boy and his dog; or an almost 30 year old man and his dog, on a leash. You may also notice that Ned is wearing a full winter peacoat and gloves.]
C-could someone tell me where I am? I don't often get lost but it seems not even Digby knows where we are. It reminds me a little of New York... or pictures, actually. I've never been. But it's warm here, almost like the South. We were just taking our evening walk like we always do. I like routine and I don't often deviate from it.
We like routine, don't we, boy? [he addresses the dog suddenly, smiling down at him before going on.] We were just walking, down the same street the Pie Hole is on only we must have taken a wrong turn, because. Well, because we're here now and it's almost uncomfortably warm, and. My cellphone isn't getting service at all.
It's all very strange, and alarming. Did I mention I don't like surprises? Because they're...surprising, and never what you expected. I like being prepared and knowing what to expect, and this.
This isn't what I expected.
