A Dream for Two
Things never turn out quite the way you planned them. Time would always throw you a curve ball, shattering your preparations just as it would a glass window. The same was true for Jacob and Kristine. Happily they lived their lives, however short, feeling the sky was the limit. They were a happy couple; true young love. Until life finally decided to end that perfection.
In one fell swoop, the two had been placed in intensive care, added to the donor list, and put into a medically induced comma. The injuries sustained from their violent accident were so severe; the doctors had no choice but to place them in an artificial sleep. “No child should have to be awake during such pain” the doctors told themselves, as they started the children’s daily dosages. How it happened was not important, what needed to be decided was the next course of action: Whether it would be better to keep them on the donor list inside their comma; never knowing when plasma and organs would become available, and knowing full well the children would never fully recover. Or pull the plug on the machines that were keeping them alive.
As far as Jacob was concerned, everything around him was far too real for comfort. As he wandered a mysterious city, in the confines of his mind, he felt wide-awake. He witnessed impossible scenarios and enigmatic creatures as he wandered dreamland, never fully understanding how he had arrived there; until he suddenly stumbled upon the last person he’d ever expect to see. Kristine had somehow manifested herself into the same dream world he had. Neither of them understanding how their minds linked, or what was happening outside of their bodies, they wandered the streets of this strange world, with very little to rely on, but each other.
