Finally some normalcy in all of this mess. He picked up, “Hey, Mindy. What’s up?”“Hmm, I see. Yea, I’m doing alright. Well, mostly.”“Oh, it’s nothing.”“No, it’s really nothing.”“Okay, fine sis.

I thought," the voice cracked a little and coughed before going on. "I thought, sometimes, that you would never wake up.”“I’m sorry. Who are you?”“I’m Sally. You’re joking right? You know me. The doctors said you would probably have amnesia, but I thought just maybe…” Her voice trailed off into nothingness.So I have amnesia, Tom thought. I guess that explains a lot of things. Like h...

Johnny woke up to the sound of rain. “Oh, no,” he thought. “If it’s raining, then we can’t go down to the lake; we're not going to go fishing and swimming in it today.” Johnny had been wanting to swim in the lake on Grandpa’s farm ever since he had gotten dropped off by his parents five days ago. It still hadn’t happened. “We never get to do what I want to,” he muttered. Grandpa had said that it would probably rain today. Grandpa always knew what was going to happen. He had even proposed an indoor activit...
