Memories Are Soon Forgotten

I open my eyes to bright, white lights. I hear people talking quietly to my left so I turn my head to see a woman and a doctor talking. “Excuse me but where am I?” they both jumped and looked at me. The woman came rushing over and hugged me. “Oh darling we thought you would never wake up” I just looked at her blankly. Darling? “If you don’t mind me asking who are you?” She let go of me and burst into tears. “Miss Smith would you mind stepping out the room please” the woman nodded and left the room trying to wipe away her tears. “can you tell me what your name is?” was he talking to me? I looked around the room it was just me and him. My name… “erm…Shannon?” “Good, now can you tell me your date of birth?” This one is easy peasy “December the second 2001” he nods his head and pulls a picture from his pocket “Can you tell me who this is?” I looked at the picture it was a man with brown hair and green eyes. “I’ve never seen him in my life” he writes something on a clipboard and steps out the room.
Hours later he returns. “Blaze I’m sad to say your dad is dead you were in a car accident with him.” My dad? Car accident? “Who is my dad?” “the man in the picture” “why don’t I remember him?” “We believe it’s because you have memory loss because of the car crash you were in, I’m sorry but you will have to be put in the adoption system” with that he stepped out the room. Adoption? “Oh no”
