You wake up in an unfamiliar hotel room.
The bed's starched white sheets are in a crumpled pile on the floor. You reach over and flick on the table lamp. The digital clock is blinking 12:37.
Maybe the power went off?
Your phone and wallet aren't on the nightstand. After some searching, you disentangle a pair of grey slacks from the bedsheets, but the front pockets are empty, too.
It looks like you've spent the night in standard single room in a modest business hotel. The place is showing some signs of age, but seems to be kept in pretty good shape. Aside from the bed and nightstand, there's a standing lamp, writing table, chair, and set of drawers. Across the room is a small closet and washroom with shower and toilet. Basically your standard, ordinary hotel room, found anywhere in the world.
You slide open the curtains, revealing the grey expanse of a city skyline. You can barely make out the tops of buildings silhouetted against the clouds. Without the suggestion of the sun, it could either be early dawn or right after sunset. You can't see the ground clearly, but you estimate that you're around the 10th floor, making it at least a mid-sized hotel.
Where am I? What is this place?
You mentally backtrack through your memories, considering all branches of probable scenarios. Could you have been drugged? Concussed? Robbed after a night out? You've been sober for a few years now, and were never the type to go out partying with friends. You take off your shirt and check your body for mysterious incisions. Looks like your kidneys are still there, too.
Could this be a kidnapping? Human trafficking? You can't imagine why anyone would want a mid-thirties guy with no family and no savings. Or why they'd put you up in a hotel room in the middle of a city.
What do you do?
