My eyelids open slowly, and a bright light shines over my head. Some inaudible sounds, people running around, everything was still a blur. It looked like I was in the hospital, it sure smelt like it. There were three people next to me, two girls and a guy.
At last, the sounds became audible, and my blurry vision cleared up making everything clear. I concluded I was in the hospital. I wake up all jittery. I sit up straight while my head was still a little dizzy.
"Where in God's name am I?" I asked.
"You're at a hospital in New York." The man next to me replied.
"What am I doing in a bloody hospital?" I replied scratching my head.
"Do you know who I am?" The man questioned.
"Do I look like a genie to you? Just answer my question and for the love of God do not answer my question with another question!" I replied with a bit of angst.
"Doctor Lee, we have a bit of a problem!" The man panicked and replied.
The doctor rushes into the room, takes out his flashlight, points the light in my eye, checks my heartbeat, and says "Everything seems normal."
"Yeah Ryder, don't teach the doctor how to do his damn work. Have some bloody respect!" I replied with a smirk.
"Dammit Atlas, you gave us the scare of our lives." Replied one of the girls, Aurora.
"Seriously though, how did I end up here? The last thing I remember is scoring the winning point in the volleyball match against Westfield high. Man, we kicked their ass." I pondered.
"Yeah. and then you slipped and landed on your head, that's why you're here." Ann added.
"Always got to have the last word, don't you?" I replied.
"Okay people, clear out. Atlas needs his rest." The doctor replied.
"See you later" They replied.
I waved them out.
I know what is going through your heads right now because the same thing is happening to me. One minute I am married with two kids and the next I am a 17-year-old kid, so let's handle one thing at a time, first introductions. The people who just met me are some of my closest friends. The guy with the black hair is Ryder Oilrogues and the two girls, the blonde is Aurora Zonds and the brunette is Ann Greenfields. Aurora and I were friends from preschool she was one of my first friends, we have had a pretty interesting life up till now then Ryder and Ann just became insanely close from the fourth grade onwards.
My other life, well apparently I was in a coma for two days and it was all a dream. It all felt so fucking real. I was reading the reports and to my surprise the wound on my head was bad but it looked like nothing happened on the MRI. Well, It all seems so real, but for some reason, I cannot remember anyone's faces or names from my coma. It's kinda depressing when you think about it. A whole life just disintegrated, vanished in a blink of an eye, gone with the wind.
