Garic town | Croatia

One day you wake up from a coma not knowing where you are or how much time has passed. As your eyes slowly open you notice you are in a hospital. On the other side of the room there’s a kid with a broken arm. You can’t see clear yet, everything is blurry. Your head hurts and you lay back down. You start to wonder how did I get here. But just can’t seem to remember. You turn your head to look at the clock. Time is slowly passing by. You close your eyes. “Just a few more seconds.” you think yo yourself. Just a few moments after that you hear loud noise. The doors are opening. You hear footsteps rushing towards you.  

You open your eyes just a little bit to see who it is. And then you see them. All of them. Characters from your favourite books. They are crying from happiness. Everybody is hugging you, asking you “How did this happen?” “Are you okay?” “We were worried sick about you!” “Thank god/s you are okay!” 

And you are just laying there, in shock. “THEY ARE ALIVE!!!!” you think to yourself “How can this be possible?”
