John Doe

The Awakening

A little boy wakes up from a coma. He does not recognizes the room that he's in or remember who he was. He just sits there for a long time, trying to remember something. Slowly he recognizes a felling, somewhere from the back of his brain. A word. It's a small word, yet of great importance. FOOD. He doesn't recall what it means , but that it's necessary for life. The word reminds him of another word. HUNGRY. He remembers that being hungry means he needs food. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he spots a tray of what he thinks is that thing he remembers that's called food. Seeing the food helps him recall what food is and that you need to eat it. He leans over the tray and starts to eat. He slowly chews and try's to remember something else. Starting to recall things now, he thinks of how you have to have water, too. He also remembers how to walk and how to say the words he's thinking of. He recognizes the alphabet on a piece of paper by the tray and how to count the numbers next to that. 

The boy gets up and starts to walk around. He notices that no other people are around. He looks back towards his bed and sees a paper that states some information. Trying to find more about himself, he reads the paper with much anticipation.

Well, that's a step in the right direction. Now if only he could find another being... The boy thinks for a minute. An idea comes to his mind. Leaving the room tomorrow is the one idea he can think of. But for right now the boy decides he is going to look around the room and see what he can find.

He goes to the window to look out side and sees something he never wanted to see in his life. A zombie. The boy gets very, very, worried. He thinks in his mind, Is it the end of the world? Am I the last person on earth? Am I going crazy? I must be seeing stuff. He rubs his eyes and looks again. The zombie is still there. "It's the end of the world!!" shouts the boy as he falls back to the bed.

The boy wants to get up but is too terrified of what he saw. So instead he just stays in bed reading the paper that was on his bed. The boy thought, Is this my information? Was I in a coma? Was that why I don't remember things? Is my name John Doe?  He sat there for a minute trying to piece the puzzle together. In the end he decides that it's his information. His name is John Doe.

(John Doe is what a hospital calls a patient when they do not know what he/her name is.)

Trying to find another being in the hospital. He goes out to the hall and sees it's deserted. He checks the rooms too. They're all the same as the hall, deserted. Its dark now and John Doe goes to his room to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a big day and John Doe will need the energy.
