[ WP ] You are in a cave in modern clothes and a smartphone in your pocket , but it 's 10000 BC and you do n't remember how you got there .

`` Mike, can you get me a glass of water please?'' I said, my head feeling as if it was about to burst was what had woken me up. After there was no response, I tried again: `` Mike?'' Nothing. I attempted to get up, bracing my forearms against the bunk. *Weird*, I thought, *this does n't feel like a mattress*. It was n't. I looked around and saw that I was in a cave, the feeble light of an autumn morning shining through its entrance. `` MIKE!'' I yelled, `` Where the hell am I?'' Still no response. *If this is a prank of some kind I swear I'll kill him. Man, how much did I drink anyway? How did I get in a* cave*? * 
 
 I pulled out my iPhone and saw that there was no signal. I made my way to the light, hoping to get reception, but to no avail. Only then I noticed the vivid paintings that littered the walls of the cave, depicting men hunting various animals. The cave showed another sign of human habitation: a fire pit with still-smoldering charred wood sat near the entrance. My amazement at that was short-lived, however, as it was thoroughly eclipsed by an honest-to-god neanderthal emerging from the trees. 
 
 There was no mistaking it for anything else. I was somehow in the presence of an early human, it its home. I'm a skinny, weak guy. This neanderthal was not. When it lunged at me with a club, I had no chance. I came to shirtless in my bed. `` Hey Mike,'' I called. 
 
 `` Yeah?'' 
 
 *Thank goodness* `` What happened man?'' 
 
 `` Well, last night you went a bit overboard, but you've been out cold since.'' 
 
 `` Oh ok, it's just I had a really weird dream,'' I said as I opened the news on my phone. First headline: `` Incredibly Well-Preserved Neanderthal Found Wearing Hawaiian Shirt, Suspected a Prank''.
