Working in Coma State

The blond woman could still vividly remember everything about the coma. She could still hear the gentle sings of the nurses, and see her own body, motionless as it lay in the hospital bed. She felt like the last ten years of her life had been entirely devoted to understanding that period of time between waking and slipping back into oblivion. She felt as if she had returned to Earth from another world, entirely changed, shaken by all she had seen and done. Nothing felt like home anymore.
