Glimpse by Dylan C. B.
Page 3 of 4 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... Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Dylan C. B., sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
