I drive home from the grocery store. It's 11:23pm in New York, oh and its my birthday. I had to go and pick up a cupcake for myself, also a candel. 28 jeeze the years go by so fast. I hear a police siren and look over to where it is coming from. I see a truck come racing towards my car.
"Shit!" I try to move the car out of the way, but I fail and the next thing I know I'm in the air, my car upside down.
Where am I? Who's that? I see a woman walk into her big white house with her phone tucked between her head and her shoulder. She is talking into it while she tries to unlock her door.
"Hey, where am I!" I call out to her, but she doesn't hear me. I walk up to her and she gets the door unlocked. She hangs up the phone and puts it in her pocket while trying to balance all the grocery bags she is holding. I tap her on the shoulder, "Hi." She doesn't turn around and she walks inside. I quickly follow her before she closes the door. What is going on? Why can't she see me? She walks into the kitchen and sets down all the bags on the counter.
The image changes.
I'm standing on a road in a forest. What the hell? I look around and see a sign that says Welcome To Storybrooke. Storybrooke? Thats not a real place, at least I don't think it is. I walk along the road until I come upon a little town that smells like the beach. I walk around and see a dinner called Granny's Dinner, I keep walking. There is a pawn shop, a big clock tower, a councilor's office, and then I see the big white house again. I walk up to it and open the door. I walk around exploring the big house. I walk upstairs and see the woman in what looks to be her room sitting on her bed with her laptop in her lap. I need to figure out who this woman is.
I jolt upwards and a pain shoots through my back. I wince and rub my back as I look around. I'm a hospital. There are a bunch of machines and stuff all around me. Oh right I got in a wreck. A nurse walks in the room.
"Oh," She looks down at her clipbord and then back at me, "Emma, you're awake." She smiles and walks over to check some of the machines.
"Yeah, what happened?" I turn to her confused.
"Well your car was hit by a speeding car about two weeks ago and you're car was flung into the air and turnned upsidedown. You were very hurt and we were scared you wouldn't make it, but you were a fighter and you pulled through. Unfortunatly it left you in a coma and we didn't know when or if you would wake up so we just took care of you like we should." She smiles and sits down in a chair next to me. I can't believe this, two weeks?!
"Wait, so you're telling me I've been asleep for two weeks?!" I look at her scared.
"Yes." She looks at me. "You didn't have any emergancy cantacts, and no one came to see you, do you know why?" she asks me concerned.
"Yeah, I don't have any family, my parents abandoned me when I was a baby so I don't have anyone." I shrug. Wait what was with those dreams? "Uh, is it normal for someone to have dreams while they're in a coma?" She stands up.
"Oh, yes perfectly normal why?" She has this confused look on her face.
"No reason." She gets up and starts to walk away. "Hey, um, can you tell me where a town called Storybrooke is?" She turns to me and shakes her head.
"Storybrooke isn't a place." She smiles at me, "You must have dreamt it. Call for me if you need anything." She walks out of the room and I lay back down. I look up at the ceiling. It's like I was there though. Then it hits me, I have to find that woman.
