You decide to sing something from your old world. When you do music begins to flood your mind. You remember some hymns that your church used to sing. You remember how you used to play the piano for 2 hours every day in high school. You remember how the old piano you used then had discolored keys. It was a used piano but your younger brother had decided it would be funny to make every C and G note on the piano green. You tried scrubbing it off but it stayed there. You wanted to be able to play the organ someday. Unfortunately, you suspect that tents are unlikely to hide a pipe organ. You even remember the basics of how to read sheet music. You remember one of the songs that you used to sing for choir. You begin trying to sing the base part of "Blow blow thou winter wind". You have a hard time trying to pronounce the words and they come out of your voice wrong. The pitch is off too. You try to sing too low for throat without really think about it. You stop singing as soon as you begin to feel your throat hurt. fortunately, before you damaged your voice. You realize that you will probably have to adjust most of the songs you know if you want them to sound good with your current voice. Also, It is more difficult to sing while lying on your belly. At least no one seems to have noticed your horrible singing attempt. You think you sounded like a dying crocodile.
(Basic Music Literacy added. Unfamiliar Voice disadvantage added.)
You remember some of the times you would read with your youngest brother. The last thing you remember reading him was when you were home some time during your sophomore year. You read a biography about William Penn to your 10-year old little brother. It took you a week and a half to finish it with him. You would sit next to each other on his bed, and you usually would have to stop a few times because you accidentally sat on a toy. Then your little brother would clean them up while you continued to read more of William Penn's life. One of the more funny things you remember as when a judge put the jury in prison for contempt of court because they did not give the verdict he wanted. Then you start to wonder if they even have juries here at all. You were used to many liberties that may be completely foreign to these people.

In the darkest part of the room, you peer. You see the giant woman. She is carrying a basket full of something that you can not make out. You see her carry it to a corner where you see her take a shiny object out of her chest pouch and a round object from the basket. You see her move the shiny object across the round object. There are a few other objects there as well. When you listen closely you manage to make out her grumbling something about "carrota radices".
You hear a horn blare three blasts. One long sound, two short sounds. Then voices seem to come from most directions. You make out a word spoken frequently in the clamor with urgent stress. “Cito” you believe it means quick, fast, or something similar. You quickly see the giant woman approach you while carrying a cubic basket. She places you in the basket.

The basket sways as she carries you in it quickly. She pauses briefly to push up a flap. She heads through a room with another rug on the ground several baskets piled up. Then she undoes some buttons on one of the cloth walls. Suddenly things are much brighter. You see two bright twin suns in the sky and avert your eyes. Then the giant woman pauses again to pick up a piece of cloth that she puts over the top of the basket. The piece of cloth is soft and scratchy and helps keep the sun from hurting your eyes.

Fortunately, you can still see out from under the cloth. The camp is huge. You don't know how many tents there are dotting the area but there seems to be a lot of them. Most of them appear to be brown or grey although some are striped or spotted. You see many people scurrying about taking down tents and placing them onto what looks like donkeys or mules.

You are sure that your home is changing now. You wonder whether these people are nomads or if they just move seasonally. The fact that they live in tents makes it seem more likely they are nomads. But, perhaps they only live in tents during the summer and have winter housing somewhere else. You also wonder why you have been mostly left alone since you have been born. The main interaction you have had with others is when you are fed. Although, maybe the giant woman is too busy cutting up food to do much else. At least you think that the shiny object she has is a knife. But you could be wrong. Why would someone cut something in the dark. From what you remember from your past life you don't think that was normal then. Also, you wonder why the woman who nurses you is not your mother. Does your mother not love you? Or maybe you were adopted by the giant woman. Or perhaps she is a hired nursemaid. Or even a slave. That is a bit troubling. How would you know if slavery exists in this new world? You start to worry until you start noticing the amazing things around you.

You even notice a few Giant Beatles when you hear a loud grunting sound which are pulling large carts in teams. The basket continues to sway as you are carried in it. You are placed onto a clip atop a donkey. From your current position you can see people carrying things out of your tent in baskets bags and placing them upon clips on donkeys all around. You also see a few children carrying baskets. They all seemed to be wearing ponytails or the top of their head is shaved and the side of their heads are middle length. All this excitement and ruckus and moving things has worn you out. And the blanket that surrounds you in the basket it so comfy. You drift off to sleep.
