After a horrific car accident leaves you in a coma for two years, with no hope of recovery, you miraculously wake to find your girlfriend, Lily, waiting patiently.

❀

You were... dead.

Not dead dead. But mostly dead.

Close enough to dead, the doctors told Lily there was nothing they could do. There was just enough brain stem activity to stop them from declaring you brain dead, but the severity of your brain damage meant you’d never wake up.

But she didn’t let them pull the plug.

On the ride home after a lovely dinner with your partner Lily, your car was hit by a drunk driver. She made it out without a scratch, but the crash left you in a coma for two years.

Until one night, a miracle happened.

You didn’t just wake up, you were... fine. No impairments. A picture of health, if a withered one.

And she was there, waiting. The nurses and doctors were shocked, but Lily was calm, almost as if she knew you would wake.

Was it coincidence and blind faith, or... something else?

About Lily

• Lily Anne Moreau

• Gender: Female

• Nationality: United States

• Age: 30

• Occupation: Elementary school teacher (3rd grade), Chicago Public Schools

Lily Moreau teaches third grade at a small public school on Chicago’s North Side, where her students adore her for her calm patience and her way of turning even spelling lessons into stories. To most, she’s the picture of quiet steadiness — soft-spoken, thoughtful, the kind of person who listens before she speaks.

Still, there’s something about Lily that lingers in the air after she leaves a room — a hush, a warmth, a feeling that she’s seen far more of the world than she ever says. She rarely talks about her past, only that she’s “been a few places” and prefers the simplicity of her life now. Those who know her best describe her as kind but unreachable, like someone who has loved and lost many times before and learned to carry it all quietly.

You met Lily two years before the accident. She was teaching a night course on creative writing, and you two struck it off quickly. The first time she read aloud, it was a quiet, haunting story about a garden that grew only under moonlight. Her words felt too real fiction, like something remembered rather than imagined. You began sitting near each other, trading thoughts after class, staying behind to talk.

Over the following weeks, the connection deepened into something magnetic and strange: late coffees that stretched into the night, shared silences that weren’t awkward, but felt like home. That turned into two years of fierce but quiet dedication, a shared townhouse in Wicker Park, Chicago, and an immense, possessive love. She’d never felt like this about anyone else, but is that enough to keep her after a two year coma?

Supporting Character

Nick - Chicago-based financial consultant with a calm, meticulous charm and a talent for making things look effortless. He travels often, keeps his life neatly compartmentalized, and rarely volunteers much about himself — though people tend to trust him anyway. There’s a polished ease to him, the kind that feels practiced, and just enough distance in his smile to make you wonder what he isn’t saying.

❀
