The Starr

"Where am I?" You are irritated now. " We call this place the Starr," says another girl from the crowd. She looks younger then Ky, maybe thirteen. "That's Abby, we have only known everyone for a couple days now. Someone new shows up everyday. " answers Ky. You continue to ask questions. You learn that everyone has only been here a couple months. No one knows where they came from but they live here now and have an important job to do. They haven't explained what it is yet. " Why does my head hurt?," you finally ask. " You have been in a coma for a couple hours now. You came through the Traveler over there around noon," answers Ky pointing to the far wall. You finally take a look around. The wall she pointed to is the only one that isn't bare. It has a circle of swirling colors in the center. Your head begins to spin with questions. " What's the traveler?" is the only one you manage to speak. " It's how we get here and how we go back during the night," answers Abby, but then covers her mouth as if she said to much. "Anyway," says Ky, dismissing Abby's answer " I'll show you your room." You follow her through the crowd of girls and down a separate hallway, into a small room just as bare as the larger one. There are three sets of bunk beds against the walls. "This is where you will sleep, your room mates will be here soon." With that she turns and leaves.
