Joe rubbed at his now rather sore arms.
Getting out of the small shed had been quite a challenge. For a while, Joe had been worried that he would end up accidentally knocking a hole in one of the walls, but managed his escape with only a few new cracks in the wooden shed.
The young giant sighed, trying to figure out just what was going on. Part of him wondered if this was all just some strange dream, that certainly made the most sense. How on earth could some stranger be able to change him like this? But another part of him felt slightly uneasy. This felt too real to be a dream, and if it was real, what had the stranger meant by saying that he wasn’t the only one from his household gone?
Joe let out a sigh, and carefully began to make his way away from the woodshed and towards the orchard. It wasn’t the best place to be, as there was still the risk of someone finding him there, but it would offer him some cover for the time being.
At least it would give him time to try to wrap his head around what was happening.
