Waking up in a bed, Miko observes his surroundings. Just by smell he can tell that he is in a hospital, upon first glance around, he is assured that he is indeed in a hospital. Turning his head to the other side, a man in a white coat appraches him. "How are you doing son? You've been asleep for quite a while." Assuming the man is a doctor, Miko let's out a sigh and tries to remember what happened to him.  "What happened to me? Why am I here?" While looking and flipping a chartboard, the doctor looks at Miko and laughs a little. "Somone found you unconcious in your apartment a few months ago and brought you here." "A few months?" Miko couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Why? Who?" Miko tries to calm himself and takes it all in little by little. The doctor hangs the chart back to the end of the bed and proceeds to do some minor examintions on Miko. "Well whatever illness you had, it seems like it is gone now. I believe you are fully cured but we still need to keep you here for a few days." After a few more test, and further observation, Miko was released from the hospital after a few more weeks. The last meeting he had with the doctor before leaving the hospital was filled with reminders and advice from the doctor.  'You have gone through a lot and it is wise to take extra caution from now on. It is best if you stayed away from the booze and cigarette and try to keep things healthy." Passing a few medicine and returning some valuable's that was on Miko when he was brought in, the doctor sent Miko on his way. The walk home was long and cold, a thick cloud formed above and no sunlight was coming through. Eventhough the weather is not so bright, the streets and building looks the same and even some shops he used to go to were still there which brought a sense of ease to Miko. Miko remembers his old apartment, so it's the first place he will go. The long walk back was filled with questions. Whether his apartment is still there, were his friends still around. He arrives at his old apartment and the building still looks the same as he remembered it, so he wondered if his room is still there. Walking in he was greeted by an old man at the counter, "welcome back mr.miko, your room is waiting for you upstairs" The old man reaches for a key from the key holder behind him and places it on the counter. Surprised, Miko wanted some answers and questioned the old man for a bit.  "Who's been paying my rent all this while?" The old man just smiles. "Well, you've always paid for weeks in advance and now you're only a couple weeks payment due, but since you're a good tenant and I knew you would be back someday, so I kept the place for you." Miko smiles and makes his way up with the key in hand. Upon reaching his apartment the door, the corridor is quiet and empty almost lifeless. He twists the doorknob with the key and pushes the door open. Everything is still in order and things are where they're supposed to be. Looks like someone's been taking care of the place while he was gone. Suddenly a voice behind him, "Mr.Miko sir!" Miko turned around and  it was 12 year old Jimmy who lives just a few doors down standing in the doorway. The boy seemed happy and exited. "How are you Jimmy? How's your mother? It's been a long time ain't it." "Nothing to worry about Mr.Miko sir, everything is great. How have you been?" "Everything seems to be fine" "JIMMYYY!!!" The voice of the boys mother calling for him rings through the corridor. "You better check on your mother there Jimmy." "All right then sir, good to see you fine and well" Jimmy then disappears into the corridor, rushing to his mother's call. Miko closes the door and a sudden silence went through the room. Feeling uneasy, Miko opens the bed side window to let some fresh air in. The clouds suddenly cleared up and a warm ray of sun struck his hand and it was a refreshing feeling after spending recent months in the hospital. Miko's attention turns to the door as he hear footsteps in the corridor. He can see the shadow of someone's feet stopping in front of his door. Miko moves closer towards the door, cautiously observing the door and suddenly a small size envelope was slid in from beneath the door.  Miko rushes to open the door but was unable to see who it was and only caught a glimpse of the man's back as the mysterious man exits using the stairs. Miko picks up the envelope from the floor and examines it, peeling the envelope open, a white blank card with nothing but an address was inside, along with the initials T.F.  The address is unfamiliar to Miko and he is unsure whether to proceed to the following address or not. Curiosity got the best of him and he decides to accept the invitation like card.

 "How are you doing son? You've been asleep for quite a while."

Assuming the man is a doctor, Miko let's out a sigh and tries to remember what happened to him. Although a bit disoriented Miko wanted answers.

"What happened to me? Why am I here?"

While looking and flipping a chartboard, the doctor looks at Miko.

"Somone found you a few months ago and brought you here."

"A few months?" Miko couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"Why? Who?"

Miko tries to calm himself and takes it all in little by little. The doctor hangs the chart back to the end of the bed and proceeds to do some minor examintions on Miko.

"We dont know exactly who brought you here, but you were unconcious at the time and as soon as we took you in, the man disappeared."

"But the good news is whatever illness you had, it seems like it is gone now. I believe you are fully cured but we still need to keep you here for a few days."

After a few more test, and further observation, Miko was released from the hospital after a few more weeks. The last meeting he had with the doctor before leaving the hospital was filled with reminders and advice from the doctor. 

"You body have gone through a lot and it is wise to take extra caution from now on. It is best if you stayed away from the booze and cigarette and try to keep things healthy."
