Time Travel Society

chapter six

I woke up not remembering anything.

I stared up at white washed ceilings, I tried to remember things of the upmost importance. My name is Allen Benson, I’m from Wyoming and have a mother and father and brothers. My birthday is December 4th and I’m 13. Okay, at least I remember who I am.

I tried sitting up, but an agonizing pain around my middle caused me to gasp and lay back down.

“Allen?” a voice whispered. I turned my head to the side, a sharp pain erupted in my skull. My vison blurred. When I could see again I saw a gurney beside me, on the gurney was a girl with a mess of fiery red hair. I had a notion of memory that I once thought it was a carrot color but this girl had a flaming mass of hair. Over her hair and wrapped around her crown was a white bandage.

“Allen?” she repeated.

“Anna?” I said the word springing from surfacing memories. I worked with her. I remember now, I also work with Elizabeth and Samuel, we are solving time travel.

“Are you okay?” I asked

“I think so, what happened?”

“I can’t remember.”

“Me either.”

At that moment the door opened at the long haired girl I remember as Elizabeth rushed in, followed by Samuel.

“Oh my gosh!” Elizabeth yelled. A bolt of pain clattered in my skull, making me squeeze my eyes shut. I heard Anna gasp from the sudden pain. Elizabeth continued yelling. “What happened? We thought you were going to die!” shut up, shut up, shut up. I wanted to say but I couldn’t open my mouth. I curled into the fetal position and covered my ears with my hands. I heard Anna sobbing. The pain was too much.

Elizabeth finally shut her trap when she saw what was happening.  Samuel rushed over and pushed a button on the medical machine that I later found out Anna and I were attached to. I briefly thought does he have a medical license? When a blissful feeling passed over me and I sighed. I felt slightly detached from my body.

“What is this wonderful stuff?” I asked wistfully, my speech slurred by the drug.

“Nothing you need to know of at the moment.” Samuel says

“Why not?”

“Patient confidentiality.”

“Hmmm, I’m not sure that’s how it works, but okay.”

I turn my head and look at Anna.

“You know you’re very pretty.”

Anna giggles. What a beautiful sound, she should giggle more often. When she giggles her nose scrunches up and she squints her eyes. I sigh as study her face, her gorgeous blue eyes stare back.
