*A MICROWAVE?!? SHY, WHY?*
It's funny. On to the story.
Me: What kind of medication am I on to be here?
???: You are not on any prescription. You are merely in another vision. Another version of you.
Me: Doesn't prove my point.
???: You are merely in a room opposite of Darkness.
Me: Soo... if that's the case, you're made of light?
???: Not of light, dear Esmeralda, but rather hope. Love. Peace. Prosperity.
Me: Soo... you're the positive one?
???: Eh... basically.
Me: I'll take what I can get. So, you're a vision?
???: A mere voice right now. A voice of your mind. A voice from the past.
Me: The past?
???: I'm not you. Darkness isn't you. We are, or were, supposed to be your triplet brother and sister. Unfortunately, we are not.
Me: Wait. I'm the soul keeper of my brother and sister. How come I'm not feminine?
???: You were supposed to be male. I was supposed to be female. Darkness was male.
Me: Soo... I'm, technically speaking, three people in one package?
???: When you say it like that, yes. Peaceful, violent, and neutral, all in one.
Me: How did this happen?
???: Well... do you want me to tell you, or do you want to see for yourself?
Me: I'd much rather see how it happened. But first, what were you going to be called? Whenever you were born?
???: Darkness was supposed to be Dominic, while I was supposed to be Zoey.
Me: Would you like to be called Zoey?
Zoey: Sure. Now then, where were we?
Me: You were about to explain why we're here.
Zoey: Right.
I felt myself being lifted out of the light and into a different form of reality. I was transported to the hospital where I was born. I could also hear Zoey's voice inside of my head.
Zoey: Remember: you can't interact with this form of the world. You can't communicate with anyone or touch anything, but you can still hear conversations.
I walked down a long, narrow hallway until I reached a room that had a name for Gracelyn Ashley Steven-Taylor written on it. I peeked inside and saw my mother on a bed and my father right next to her. Dad was a more bulky figure, standing at 6'3". He was wearing his favorite brown jacket, blue jeans, and gray boots. He had this sort of rough voice, but also had a soft touch to it. They were apparently talking with a doctor about... something I couldn't hear. I walked forward until I could hear what they were saying.
Doctor: I'm afraid I have very bad news, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.
Dad: What is it, Doc? We're anticipating the worst.
Doctor: You were expecting triplets.
Dad: I... never knew this information.
Doctor: That's what it is. You were expecting triplets, two boys and a girl. Only one of them survived. A very healthy son. I'm terribly sorry to bring you this information about your children.
I noticed that both Mom and Dad had tears in their eyes.
Dad: Sorry, Doc. I just need a minute.
