  • What's the context? What are you actually trying to say? I can think of no punctuation that would result in that string of words making sense.

This seems very stylistic. Although two choices are incorrect.

Think, where am I?

Looks goofy to me. Almost as if someone is addressing someone named "Think"

Think; where am I?

I believe the ideas are too different to be connected with a semi-colon.

Think: Where am I?

Is technically correct; however, I would personally use:

Think. Where am I? Nowhere.

I would do this not only because it separates the two thoughts completely, it also gives the reader that full mental pause after think - the same pause you take when you are thinking. I also prefer this as "Nowhere." is also it's own sentence. The two one-word sentences surrounding "Where am I?" make the poignant passage aesthetically pleasing.

  • @JohnGo-Soco I also like this. Personally I would choose "Think. Where am I?" instead; however, "Think - Where am I?" sounds better than OP's original semi-colon, colon, and comma options.
