Coma

*Fiuuuuuwwwwww*

The breeze of a relaxing and cool wind was wrapping my whole body. I wanted to slowly open my eyes and check my surroundings. But, when I opened my eyes, all I saw around me was a white area.

Even if I took a few full turns around my axis to examine my surroundings, all I saw was a vast white field.

The intensity of the blowing wind was slightly below normal, as well as the feeling of relief it gave me as it penetrated my skin, causing me to relax.

I started walking without any idea where I was.

After the first step I took, I realized something.

There was a puddle of water on the ground, too transparent to be noticed. Although only a few millimeters in size, ripples could be seen with each step taken.

The area was pretty quiet.

I kept walking for a while, not knowing where I was going.

A feeling that I felt from afar but close at the same time surrounded me. I heard a voice whispering behind my ears.

"Alan…" a very familiar voice called out.

With a surprised expression, I turned towards the emotion I felt behind me, but the only sight I saw was again a vast whiteness.

After a short silence, I experienced the same feeling again. This time, it was felt right behind me again.

"Alan…" It sounded like a gentle woman's voice. But, I felt like I had heard that voice many times before.

The direction I was looking at was again just white.

In the direction I continued to stare for a while, a silhouette began to appear, blurring.

When I saw that she was extending her right hand towards me, I involuntarily took action to extend my hand to her.

She called me again.

"Alan…" The voice echoed for a while this time.

Before I could reach my hand to the silhouette that appeared out of nowhere, it vanished in the wind like smoke.

I could only watch the silhouette disappearing with a surprised expression.

For a long time since the silhouette had disappeared, I just stood still without hearing a sound.

Her voice, made me remember my mother.

From the moment I started thinking about my mother, the vast white space had suddenly turned into an old house.

"Alan, dinner's ready." The voice I had heard was called again.

When I turned my head and looked in the direction of the sound, I saw a light leaking from under the door of a dark room.

I tried to move, but my body was moving on its own as if it was made of a puppet.

My body moving involuntarily came out of a dark room and sat on a corner of the floor table set in the middle of a house.

When he turned his head to the left, the face I saw gave me a great shock.

The person I saw was definitely my mother.

But how can it be happen?

"Mother?" I wanted to call. But I was not in control of my body.

My body began to pray after clasping its hands in the palms before starting to eat. I was beginning to remember this place clearly now.

This was our home, 15 years ago.

Ahhhem...!

My mother squinted her eyes and coughed into a napkin. When he pulled the napkin from his mouth, there was a pinch of blood.

Ever since I was little, I lived with my mother alone. We lost my father in an accident when he was very young. Therefore, my mother was constantly pushing herself so that I could get along.

We were having a family dinner one evening.

*Click* *Click* *Click*

The glass was making a noise with the effect of the storm hitting the balcony across the table.

While my involuntarily moving body continued to eat its food, Mom got up from the table and started walking towards the balcony.

The laundry hanging on the balcony was being blown away by the strong wind blowing. So my mom would let them in so they wouldn't fly away.

The light bulb, which was constantly flashing above us, was very old, as could be seen from the sounds it made.

I've never had good opportunities since I was little. My mother always put herself in the background for me to live a good life.

When my field of vision is completely dark,

I could hear police sirens echoing.

In an instant, as my field of vision brightened again, the siren lights from the Police cars were preventing my eyes from seeing clearly.

One night, I had to leave the school late.

The sirens of the two police cars standing in front of the house were turning very fast.

When I went to the front of the house to understand what was going on, someone was lying on the floor in front of the door of the house, covered in blood.

When I saw the person's face, I knew it was my mother. She had been stabbed multiple times in the back and died at the scene.

"M-Mother?" I stuttered and shouted.

I got down on my knees.

That day, she was injured by moneylenders who came to the house because of my mother's debts.

Tears were flowing from my eyes with an expressionless face shape.

As my vision darkened again, I began to hear my Mother's voice in many ways. My mother was calling me.

"Alan…"

When my mother's silhouette reappeared in front of me again, she held out her hand towards my face.

"Alan.........." From the moment he called my name, I couldn't hear any of the rest of the sentence. I could only see that her mouth was moving and her eyes were not visible.

In just a few seconds, blood started pouring down my mother's chest.

As I lowered my head, I lifted it up again to look at Mom's face to see what had happened. But, the person I saw was someone different from Mom.

Rize-san?!

With Rize-san's hand still on my face, she brought her head closer to my ear. And she said a few words in a whisper.

"...."

Her voice was too low to be heard.

When it slowly started to disappear like smoke again, she tilted her head slightly to the right and squinted her eyes and smiled.

The area that had previously been bright and vast was now completely dark. There was no trace of that puddle I felt on the floor.

Here I am stuck alone in the endless darkness.

"We must start organ transplantation as soon as possible!" The voice of a man with a deep voice echoed hoarsely through the dark space.

"But sir. This is too risky!" A woman's voice said in a worried tone as if warning him.

The voices continued to be heard in a muffled voice inside the dark space for a while longer.
