she stepped back in surprise, then bent down and opened the others, they too were overflowing with letters, she quickly opened a few, but they all read the same, "goodbye." she began to walk backwards, but stumbled over something on the floor, wincing in pain as she hit the ground below her. But as she opened her eyes, she saw that the draws were closed and all the letters scatterd across the floor were no more. She began to stand up, looking aound the room, then walked over to the dresser cautiosly opening the door, bracing herself, but the only thing there, were clothes.

1:30 PM

Naomi opened the door to her favorite diner located not a block away from her apartment building. As she walked inside she noticed a creepy silence. She looked around to discover that the diner was indeed full of people, but not one was speaking a word. "May I help you?" a voice said from behind, startling her, She hesitated, "No thank you i was just leaving," "very well then," he replied, she turned and walked outside. the sidewalk crunched under her feet as she took a step and then suddenly stopped. The once crowded city street was, empty, There were no cars or people, in sight, she stepped back into the diner, but it was empty, not a sign of life anywhere. Naomi stared at the empty booths in awe. She tried every explaination she could but she knew it was hopeless, this was beyond any explaination anyone could give, If anyone who could explain it still existed. Thoughts rushed through her mind like a wave of confusion, a tear rolled down her cheek. she beagn to break down and cry, as she headed toward the door. She walked outside again, and all that was once there was gone, the roads, the building, signs everything, It was all just white now. She looked back at where the the diner had been but it was now gone to, all she could see was white for miles and miles, nothing but white, everywhere. then there was a flash. and everthing went dark.

Time Unknown

Naomi opened her eyes only to see she was in a hospital bed. She herd crying and and laughter comming down the hall toward her room. She sat up dazed and confused, a man in a doctors uniform burst into the room with a gleamimg smile upon his face, good morning Naomi. The door opened Again and her parents walked into the room. This is impossible, she thought,

my parents died years ago, but...how? They were both crying, and smiling. "I told you harold, I told you she would wake up!" her mother said. "I know! I know! I can't believe it twelve years, I had lost hope!" He replied. "Oh Naomi! My angels back with us," her mother went over and hugged her as well as her father. This must be a joke, no this is impossible, this can't be what I think it is... "M..m..mother?" Naomi murmerd, suprised at how hard it was to speak. "Yes," she said tears streaming down her face. "What y-year is it?" "why, it's two thousand three," she said like she was expecting the question. Dear God, Naomi thought, exactly twelve years ago I went into a coma, but.. but that means i must have never woke up, then every second after that car crash...
