James woke up, feeling the warmth of the rising sun on his face. He moaned and allowed his eyes to flicker open, only to remember his experience in the alley. Fearful, he bolted up right and began to examine himself. To his relief, he was unharmed but, to his confusion, he was wearing only his boxers. "Where am I?" whispering, the asked.
