You awaken in a bright, sunny place, completely surrounded by soft sand. The sounds of waves crashing down on a shore and people laughing and talking reach your ears, meaning that you're not alone wherever you are. You sit upwards and wipe the sleep out of your eyes, and blearily look around you. Surrounding you on all sides is sand forming into a kind of dip at the bottom of which you rested. You got up and yawned, stretching yourself out in the warm sunlight before looking around inquisitively, Where were you, and how did you get there? You walked up to the sandy slope and jabbed your foot into it, testing to see if it would hold your weight and allow you to climb out of here. When you're satisfied that you won't immediately slide back into the hole, you begin the arduous task of scaling the shallow wall to get to the top and find out where you are.

You try hard to remember exactly what it was you were doing before you woke up laying around in the harsh sun, but a veil of fog blocked you from proceeding any further.
Whatever it was that had brought you here or what you had been doing beforehand, was a complete blank.
You shake your head to try and clear out the dust, then stand up and sigh.
You're never going to find any answers by hiding in a hole, so you might as well look around and see if you can't find any clues to your whereabouts.
