This bears closer investigation. You exit your vehicle, pacing around in darkness until you activate the torch concealed within your cufflink.
Playing the beam of light about, you get a better impression of your surroundings. The ground is uneven, pocked and pitted by enormous impacts sometime in the past, and in the distance you can make out a sheer wall that towers some thirty feet into the air. In every other direction you can make out nothing, so you move closer to the wall to see if there's any way to scale it and thus gain a better view of the area.
As you get closer, you notice a large mound resting near the wall, and divert your journey appropriately.
It is bigger than your car, but sits in an ungainly heap, angles sitting in strange ways, as if crushed and distorted. You notice what looks like a logo, only the punishment that has been dealt makes it almost illegible. It's in Russian, but that is but one of many languages which you can speak.
It's a warning of some sort, mentioning that the danger of death may arise from smoking...
Oh, no. It's an empty cigarette packet, crushed and discarded by the side of the road! You haven't gone anywhere at all - instead you've shrunk somehow!
Then you hear a rumbling noise, and turn around just in time to see your car die. A colossal foot descends from the heavens (stepping off the curb) to impact on it, smashing it flat instantly. Another falls beside it, and the giant stumbles slowly across the road, walking haphazardly, as if drunk. You can make out little detail, and are too awed by the size to do anything but gape.
Maybe you should try and make contact with him or her, despite their inebriated state. They may be able to help you.
Or you could continue with your original plan to climb out of the road, and then try to find assistance elsewhere.
Finally, you could run to your car to see what gadgets inside may still be salvageable.
