Thread: Where is everyone? (Josu_T and Amaria)

Nothing was the same anymore since the accident. How could one event make everything seem so pointless, useless and dull. Two years before Lynn Harrington would be spending her days chasing her little boy around the back yard and digging in the dirt at the park, maybe even driving him up to the hospital to meet daddy for lunch at work. All that was gone now. In a few seconds two lives were taken form her. While she lay on a massage table at a spa getting the Mother's Day treatment, her husband and son lay in a ditch dieing on the side of the road. A hit an run she wouldn't learn about until the next day when she returned to an empty house. His family was never really fond of her they didn't even want 'someone like her' marrying into the family. She had met him at the hospital during her first days as a registered nurse. While she was an only child who was adopted by her elderly neighbors after her mother died of an overdose, he was doctor from a family of medical professionals with loads of MD, PhD.D and any other title you can toss at the end of a name. The prince and the peasant girl, he had always joked not caring what his family thought. Things were better when they had a son, they kept in touch often with his family. Grandparents spoiled him with junk from the day he was born and visited often. Lynn's parents died soon after he was born but the small family she had started kept her going. Not any more though. Since that day two years ago she had been coming home to the same empty house. His family stopped calling as soon as the estate was settled, satisfied that all she 'got' was the house. She slowly pulled within herself, falling into a deep depression and shying away from the few friends she had. Quitting her job she looked for work in another town, she couldn't stand to go to the hospital everyday anymore, or any of the places they went together. Everything moved on with out her. Friends stopped calling and because of the settlement bill collectors did even call. It was almost like she didn't exist without them anymore. An add in a medical journal, the last issue of a subscription he had renewed before his death, described the stasis testing. An experiment on healthy people interested in helping scientist test a scientific break through. The money did not interest her at all, it was the idea of disappearing from it all for ten whole years. By then no one would even remember the tragic widow of the prominent doctor and maybe she could start a new life, start fresh and if it shouldn't work, well, she wouldn't be a loss to anyone at all. It was disturbing being able to recognize a few of the monitors and instruments being used to maintain her life while in the stasis tube. She had dealt with them often at work, but many were still very odd. The tight suit she wore was more embarrassing than uncomfortable, she hadn't worn anything this revealing since before her husband died, but these scientists were all business. The physical test she took was a simple thing and they seemed to be pleased that she had given birth to a child. She was thankful they didn't ask any more questions, although all of her history was in the form she had filled out prior to the fitness test. An odd peace came over her as the drugs took effect and the tube filled, for once she was leaving something else behind.
