As I wandered around an unfamiliar dusty old road a filthy fragrance tickled my nostrils and I sneezed a few times. A weird old machine rattled past and I quickly bounded across the road.
A couple of women dressed in long, straight dresses glanced at me with a strange and curious look in their eyes.
Distant jazz music reached my eardrums. It sounded jazzy and fun. The song sounded familiar, like something off my granddad’s old jazz records. Hmm…
The Town Hall clock nearby chimed 12 and I jumped nearly a metre in the dusty air! I landed with a soft thud and a crunch on the gravel below and looked down at my sneakers. My heart skipped a beat. Nobody else was wearing lace-up sneakers! In fact, nobody was dressed like me at all! I swallowed hard and suddenly realised: I didn’t belong here!
