A Long Way Home

Prologue

You wake up like you always do, from the blinding sunlight outside your window, or from the annoyance of your alarm. You get up and go to your bathroom to brush your teeth, you have ruffles light brown hair, and you’re still wearing your white collar shirt. You go on to head to your shower, finish and go to eat breakfast. Everything seems the same to you, wake up, get ready, go to college, eat dinner, and go to sleep. You’re a pretty good guy, fit, and pretty athletic. You work on getting a PhD in math and science, since you love to do both of these. As a kid you were always that guy who asks questions to get his answers.  You’re very shy and you try to avoid people, so basically you’re an antisocial. You don’t even have the guts to ask a girl out, and the last time you did, you got rejected.

Today was different. You’re meeting your family members for dinner tonight. You haven’t seen them in ages, since you were so caught up in college, but you send some mail or an email to them from time to time. Since you were in Virginia, you couldn’t meet your parents just like that; your parents lived in Maryland. You just disliked Maryland because it was so boring, and no one you knew from Virginia ever went there, or had the time to go there. It was about an hour long drive towards Maryland with no traffic, which you hated as well, since you can’t cope with doing nothing but drive, it’s like trying to hide a secret so important that your friends would do anything just so you can tell them.

They were excited, as were you; wouldn’t you be excited if you haven’t seen your parents in few years? Anyway. You and your family members decide to go eat at their house. You always loved going to your parents’ house, even if they live in the place you disliked the most, but your mothers cooking always brings a smile to your face. You decide to get out earlier, wearing a red flannel shirt, blue jeans, and red converse; you check your phone, its 5:00, might as well head out early. You were supposed to meet your parents at 6:30 but you decide that going out earlier wouldn’t hurt, or keep you caught up in traffic. As you Head towards your parents’ house, your car starts to slow to a stop, you had to check your car and look at your engine, it was over heating and you decide to wait it out. As you observe the radiator your head is hit by the hood and you’re knocked out.
