The first thought that crossed my mind when I woke up was what the hell did I drink last night? Normally, the amount would be the problem, and that's only if I drank almost enough to kill me. But that wasn't it today, since I didn't have nearly as much as I normally do last night. The quality of the drinks is very noticeable at times like this. It felt like I didn't drink the shoddy tequila some idiot brought last night, just got bludgeoned in the head with a bottle.
Still, the headache was nothing compared to the nausea, which could only be quelled with copious amounts of water, and the need for water forced me to get up. I crawled up the nearby wall, only to realize that this wasn't my house.
In fact, it wasn't a house at all. Further investigation in the form of slowly rotating my head (I wasn't capable of much more) revealed that I was in a small dark room with what looked like a car. At the far end, there was a closed steel garage door, taking up the whole side of the room. In my search for whater, I ignored it: in my experience, water is easier found indoors. On a side wall, there was an array of displays, but my stomach gave yet another heave and I hurried from the room through the only other door that I could find.
My first instinct was to find the owners of the "house", and, if possible, get out without them knowing that I was here. Since I didn't remember how I got here, it was quite possible that they won't like seeing me here.
The door from the garage led to a hallway, that had another couple of doors in them. They were all unlocked. Quick inspections of two of the doors revealed bedrooms, which didn't have the owners in them, and I stumbled back into the corridor and went to the 3rd identical door. Behind this was what looked like a bathroom, with a strange contraption where the toilet would normally be. I dismissed this as a quirk of the owners, and ran to the holy grail of my quest through this mysterious "house". The icy cold water made my head clearer, and the nausea retreated to a manageble distance, so I could at least walk without being afraid to spill whatever was left in my stomach.
I went back to the corridor and through the last door. The room was semi circular, filled with monitors, buttons, and lights, with chairs situated at various parts of the room.
And then I shit my pants. What I thought was a solid semicircle of wall on the other side of the room suddenly became transparent. now it looked like there was nothing there at all, and on the other side... was a sun. Not the Earth sun, this one was glowing white and was closer, like the types of images that the Hubble produces. I must be on a spaceship.
A cool voice announced, "This is the onboard AI Millinery, its a pleasure to meet you captain Ross, welcome aboard."
