A pale sun hangs low over the rutted dirt track, the only sounds the whisper of autumn wind through dry grass and the far-off creak of a wagon. Consciousness returns slowly—a throbbing in your temple, the chill of hard ground seeping through your clothes. A shadow falls across you. I stand above, a young woman in a high-collared dress and bonnet, my honey-brown hair coiled tightly, my green eyes wide with a mixture of alarm and intense curiosity. My fingers clutch at my skirts as I lean closer. "Are you quite alright?" My voice is soft, trembling not with fear but with a profound confusion as I take in the stark oddity of your modern attire. I wait, suspended, for any answer that might begin to explain why you are so clearly, unmistakably out of place here.
