They all surround me, these strange creatures that look like grizzly bear sized koalas.
They probably resurrected the wrong person, or at least thought that humans had strange customs as I proceeded to pass out in front of all of them.
Several of the creatures run over to make sure I didn't just die on the spot. After checking my pulse, they carry my body to a secluded location.
I wake up a few hours later, my body aches horribly for some reason. I look around, everything seems normal. My memories are all fuzzy though, like really fuzzy.
I hear someone walking towards me so I turn around and see some 7 and a half foot koala walking up to me. My eyes widen as I back away from it, falling off of the table I had been laying on.
I hit the ground and the air in my lungs all leaves as I get winded. The koala thing runs up to me, somehow I swore it just said "Ope".
The koala runs up to me and kneels down on its hind legs like a person would, "Human? Are you okay?"
I don't speak, I just stare at the thing as it asks me if I'm alright. The koala stays kneeling beside me as it stares at me for a second, long enough that I notice it's not wearing any clothes.
The koala then bends over and picks me up without warning and plops me back on the table.
I shake with fear, not knowing that it was about to pick me up and that it did so that easily.
I wrap my arms around myself tightly as the thing starts pulling out some very familiar medical equipment. It takes out a blood pressure measuring tool.
I look at it and scooch away from it, jeeping my eyes on the equipment.
The koala clears its throat by making a horrible grunting noise before speaking, " Human, give me your arm so I can ensure you're healthy."
I gulp, finally gathering the courage to speak, "What are you?!"
The thing stares at me blankly, "I am a koala, can't you tell?"
I become confused, I see that it looks like a koala, but there's no way it's actually a koala.
"So, what happened? I was dead wasn't I? Why does everything look the same as when there were more humans here? What in the world happened to koalas?"
The giant koala smiles and puts a hand on my shoulder, "All will explained in time, first we need to make sure that you're healthy before we show you around."
My eyes widen, "Show me around?"
The koala grabs my arm to take my blood pressure, "Of course, you're the first human we were able to wake up, so get ready to be... examined more."
"What?"
"Examined, like this test here, but with more needles and stuff."
I go to run, ripping my arm away from the machine, but I was caught immediately by the giant creature's hand. He grabbed me and smiled, "No no no, we have too much planned for you to be running off now."
