You remember falling asleep in your old apartment — the peeling ceiling, the hum of a fridge that never quite ran quiet, the last thing you did before closing your eyes a nervous refresh of your email, checking for any response to the job application you'd sent off out of sheer desperation. You hadn't expected anything to come of it. You hadn't expected much of anything, lately.

Then, somewhere in the dark of sleep, a strange sensation moved through you — a pull, weightless and wrong, like falling upward.

Your eyes open to unfamiliar shadows.

The room isn't yours. The air carries a faint mineral tang — like rain on warm stone — nothing like the stale apartment air you fell asleep breathing. Clean modern furniture surrounds you, subtly off in ways you can't quite place: textures that don't match anything you know, faint patterns in the decor that feel foreign rather than decorative. Wherever you are, it isn't home. It might not even be Earth.

You sit up. On the nightstand beside you rests a sleek, unfamiliar phone, and beneath it, a folded note.

Your hands shake slightly as you reach for the note first.

"Your application for Evolution Fitness Centre has been approved. Welcome to this new world and facility. Our contact will come to you shortly and explain everything. Until then, stay here and get familiar with your new lodgings."

You read it twice. Then a third time. The words don't get any less impossible.

The phone hums faintly in your palm, screen dark, waiting. Somewhere beyond the window, you can hear something — voices, maybe, or a city that doesn't sound like any street you've ever walked.

Before anything else, you catch your reflection in the dark screen of the phone and pause — you should figure out exactly who you are, now, in this world.
