It's been almost three years now. You're sitting alone infront of the campire you lit. The forest.. it's cold. These days have been unforgiving. You hug your knees trying to keep warm. "Why..." you asked yourself. You closed your eyes, begging somehow, just someway you could open your eyes and see the familiar sights of your own world...

The dawn was cold, much less colder than the cold here. You see a man in a new, polished, and neat pilot's suit, grabbing his helmet with a smile on his face. He looked so happy, so proud. You saw him greeted by the other, older, seasoned pilots. They all were so friendly to him.
Then blank. It's just black now...

You saw a little boy being woken up by his mother slowly. The young boy rose and shone like the sun behind the closed curtains. "Good morning, how was your sleep?" Asked the boy's mother. The boy smiled at his mother before answering. "It was great, mommy! But.. why did you wake me up so early?" Asked the boy. The mother chuckled and reminded him while playfully pinching his cheek. "It's your first day of school, my little warrior" answered her.
Then again.. blank, just black..
The image returned to the boy as he was now in a casual outfit, with a backpack over his shoulder. You saw the boy wave his mother and father goodbye as he ran to the school bus. The mother, the father, and even the boy himself, looked so happy, cheerful, and so proud.

You saw a pregnant woman with her husband, enjoying ice cream while sitting on a bench in the park. It was a little cheesy watching them. You smiled to yourself, knowing how happy they must be. But suddenly the woman dropped her ice cream, and clutched her belly. "Oh my god... I think the baby's coming..." said the woman.
Blank...
The image of a woman on a hospital bed surrounded by doctors and nurses suddenly filled the black screen. You watch anxiously as you wait for the outcome. A minute passed... two minutes passed.. and soon, half-an-hour... something's wrong isn't it? Is the baby gonna be alright?
Blank...
You sigh.. looking down, but suddenly noticed the image showing the same woman on the bed, being hugged by her husband. And inbetween them, was a child. A baby boy. "Welcome to the world... Owen" said the mother.
You close your eyes again, feeling a single tear drop run down your cheek. And when you opened your eyes again, you were met with the image of the campfire you started. "Those days..." you begin to feel the urge to cry, knowing that you might nevee return to those moments. Those days... oh those days...
