A freezing, wet, and hard surface is underneath me. This isn't like the soft mattress I slept on a couple of hours ago. I want to continue sleeping for a little while, but it's unbearable.

I rack my brain trying to find the hidden answers, but I come up empty. I have no memory of what happened or how I got here in the first place.

I am a bit disoriented as I try to get my bearing. I mean, it's not every day you go to sleep and wake up naked in the forest.
