I'm Sam. The scene *IC I'm standing outside a dance studio one November evening bathed in the bright light coming from the doorway. There is a flight of stairs leading down, disappearing as they turn a corner. I can hear music, dance music drifting up into the cold night air. On the wall at the top of the stairs making a bright splash of colour against the white wall is a poster proclaiming ' New beginners class just started 7.30 Prompt' It has been there a week, ten days? I stop each night as I make my way home from work. Home! I call my tiny flat home, in truth it is just a place to shelter, to eat and sleep it is not a home.

I want to go in. I want the company of another person, a woman. I want to feel the warmth, the softness of her body in my arms, smell her perfume feel her hair brushing my face as we dance..........But I can't pluck up courage to go in alone.......For over a week every night has been the same I stand here moving out of the way as couples, people of all ages come up to the entrance and hurry down the stairs the womens high heeled shoes clattering on the stone steps that lead to the warmth, the music and above all the female company I so desire.

I felt a shiver run down my spine it was cold but it was not the cold that made me shiver the shiver came from the thoughts that had started to invading my mind with increasing frequency. Dark evil thoughts that terrified me. The screams, the heat and noise then nothing! Blackness, a void, silence a desperate feeling of being unable to move. I knew that I had been very ill sometime in the past, a viral thing they told me. Whatever it was it had wiped out my memory completely they said it was always 'they said'.

I had woken up on the 11th of May 2000 in a small private nursing home on the east coast but these facts I only found out later, much later. I opened my eyes and it was if I had been reborn. The first person I saw was.....a nurse (0ne role M or F) The nurse seemed shocked to see me lying in the bed with my eyes open. Not only were they open but I could see! The nurse watched as my eyes followed her as she backed away from the bed moving towards the door. I watched as she slowly, as if not to disturb me open the door. I heard the nurse speak to someone but could not make out what she said or to whom they said it. Seconds later I at least knew who the person was that had been alerted. I should say persons for there were two of them (minor roles) large hard looking males in what could have passed as uniforms except the 'uniforms' carried no markings of any kind.

I was concious of a feeling of 'deja vous' even though I didn't know where I was, who I was or what I was doing here. I knew I was weak but not why. I knew the world I was in but not where and more than all these feelings I knew I was a man Homo Sapien Erectus not only that I knew what era I was from.

My musings came to an abrupt halt. A woman a very smartly dressed woman strode into the room (Female Role up for grabs) and with her a group of what can only be described as minions three of them (Join in the fun anyone) totally subservient to her, as were the other three the nurse and the, oh I knew what these men were. They were guards and I knew who they were guarding, they were guarding me! ( Feel free to join my first real attempt to established a thread.) John *Sam*

I was shocked out of my revere by a voice saying *Excuse me are you waiting for someone* It was a girl no more than 19 or 20 dressed rather old fashioned for her age. I looked at her lost for words. She said 'Are you ok'? Yes I stammered quite shaken. I was day dreaming I said to her. She smiled, a warm friendly smile and said I do it all the time (Female lead anyone want to take it on and develop the character?) Were you thinking of going in, she asked and without a pause continued. I have been watching you for a couple of nights and I think you are like me wanting to give it a try but; smiling I answered for her, you didn't want to go in on your own did you? That totally suprised me, the fact that I had spoken to her at all was one thing but to do so in a warm friendly manner was completely our of charcter, so different from my usual way with women. She laughed a genuine laugh it brought an even wider smile to my face. My name is Sam, I said and you were quite right, was I right about you? Before she could answer a couple walked up to the doorway paused and gestured for us to go first. Both of us hesitated then she took hold of my hand, smiled and led me down the steps. A shiver ran down my spine, not the shiver of cold or fear those I knew. This shiver was warm and spread rapidly up into my face a tremor ran through me then as we approached the corner we saw a man, on his own coming up the stairs. He paused to let us get past and as we squeezed through the gap our bodies met, only briefly but long enough for me to be aware of the softness of her body against mine. My heart was racing, my breathing ragged. The air was filled with soft smell of her perfume, a very light and fragrant smell that reminded me of? Reminded me but I had no memory!...........

One friendly bump for a thread that really looks like it could be some fun :)
