Still Day 1, only later in the day

"Magic, huh," I said in disbelief. When I didn't hear an answer, I turned around to find that the man was gone, leaving me alone in a strange city. I began to look around and quickly realized that the city seemed uninhabited. There was absolutely no sign of life short of the buildings. I began to walk down a long narrow street and soon noticed the lack of color in the city. All the buildings, and even the street, were the brightest shade of white I'd ever seen. It was similar to looking directly into a bright light, and it caused all the angles of the city to seem distorted and more curved. It also forced all shadows to hide from sight, as though every object gave off it's own light source, pushing all darkness far away. This also, unfortunately, made it nearly impossible to tell one part of the city from another. It was like a maze, full of wrong turns but no dead ends or exits. It just seemed to go on forever.
I soon became worried and began looking to the sky for some sort of hope, maybe even answers. After a few more steps I bumped into something hard. It didn't even budge, so I assumed it was a wall. However, when I looked up I saw the strange man from earlier. He didn't acknowledge me. "Hello!" I called out, slightly annoyed that he left me earlier. I awaited a response for a few seconds until my eyes finally adjusted to the bright city. Everything became much clearer, corners were abrupt and sharp and even some shadows began to appear. It also allowed me to realize that I had been yelling at a statue. I raised a hand to my lips and yawned. "Must be getting late," I thought to myself. I layed down next to the statue of the man that caused all these problems and went to sleep, hoping that I would awake from this nightmare.
