Shane Who?

Claire awoke in a strange stiff bed. She sat bolt upright and started to panic because she really didn't recognise the room she was in. For a second her brain went in to override and she felt her pockets for a cell phone only to find that she was wearing a clean white hospital style robe.

Just as she started to get up out of bed Myrnin entered the room. 'Thank god your here' she said 'What happened.'

'Claire' Myrnin said 'My name is doctor Myrnin Conwy and I have been treating you here for the past six months.'

'Myrnin what are you on about? Are you sick again' She started to panic 'Should I get Amelie'

'Claire' Myrnin said softly 'You were in a car accident on your way to MIT and you were put in to a coma.

'No I wasn't' She looked nervously around the room and started to recognises some of her things. The wallpaper was the same as her room in the glass house and some of her photos were on those walls. But not her Morganville ones.

Just as she was about to consider looking for Amelie the ice queen herself walked In to the room. She looked perfect and cool. She had her blond her tied up in a high pony tail and appeared to be wearing some sort of hospital scrub.

'Amelie!' Claire breathed a sigh of relief. 'Thank god your here'

'Amelie would you please explain to Claire' Myrnin asked sounding soft and reassuring.

'Claire, you survived the car crash but your parents were killed. You created the fantasy world of Morganville as the alternative because you didn't want to believe that the choice you made to attended MIT early might have caused your parents death. You created a world in which you felt love and protected.' Amelie never raised her voice.

'Your wrong.' Claire sounded panicked now. 'But Shane...'

'Ah yes, Mr Collins was a patient here while you were conscious. You have gained consciousness on 3 other occasions. This would be your 4th.'Myrnin replied.

'No 'Claire screamed 'Hannah, Eve, Michael, Oliver, Monica, Miranda, Richard!'

'Are all ex patients and staff here' Myrnin said. 'None of them ever live in Morganville. It's just a fantasy world you created.'

Myrnin watched as slowly it all came back to Claire and her face filled with pain. She remembered the accident. How her car had swerved to avoid hitting a truck and came off the road. How she had been the only survivor. She remembered Oliver, the grumpy old man who thought he was a long lost king and Miranda the girl who suffered from extreme anxiety and Shane...
