\n New Life in a New Body
\n\n The Accident
\n\n I sat down at the table, flabbergasted. I grabbed some food, more like just bacon, some sausage no eggs. I couldn't even think for the life of me. My god, how did she know? Oh well, I guess it's that patch of fur where I had my scar. Will I never live the accident down?
\n\n I was still in there after every one else was done. After I was done I washed the dishes, then I went back to where I assumed Lisa was. I wonder, yep still reading that big ass book. Guess that must be some light reading. Just one of those people who read really boring books or it might be interesting.
\n\n "So, I know you remember what happened," Lisa said ominously.
\n\n "Ok fine, you want to hear what happened," I said.
\n\n "You know as well as I that I do," she replied.
\n\n "Ok," I said, "well it happened five years ago. That's also when changes started to be killed, not just put in a detention center. I had just started my own business, Moulder's Computers where I basically made my own computers and repaired other computers as well. I was in such a good mood; I had a great life going. My life was looking up."
\n\n "So I was walking around town really late. I was just really happy, so I was walking around. I came to an intersection, I was waiting to cross. Then it told me it was safe to cross, so I started crossing the road, then out of nowhere a car was flying down the road. I had no time to get out of the way so... I got hit."
\n\n "I remember flying at least 10 feet in the air. I can't remember anything after the impact other than the feeling it was all over. Well when I came too, I was in a hospital. I was in the ICU, not exactly the best place I ever woke up in."
\n\n "Though I guess I was in a coma for at least three months. My girl friend left me, my family thought I was going to die. I had the scar when I woke up, damn it looked like Harry Potter's scar. My family made the reference, god I hate them for that."
\n\n "So after I went down to the church around near there, after they let me out. I quit going after, the sermon was about how the 'Shifters' are the spawn of Satin. I didn't appreciate it much... they are the sadists not us. I also saw them string up one who had sought sanctuary. I was absolutely appalled, I stormed out of there.
\n\n "So that's my story," I finished.
\n\n She just sat there, not responding looking as if she had heard every little detail on my life. Who knows what she was feeling? I was pacing around the room for what felt like minutes. I was just about to leave the room, and she came too.
\n\n "I know what happened while you were in a coma," Lisa said.
\n\n "Oh really, what," I asked.
\n\n "They found you," she said.
\n\n "Sniffers," I asked.
\n\n "Yes and no," she replied
\n\n "Well what does that mean," I asked.
\n\n "It means that they have known about you since the accident," she explained, "They knew about you for five years. They released you, let you live, and even let you live a normal life. The accident pushed your change date back for years. You were so close and yet so far."
\n\n This realization had hit me like a ton of bricks. They had let me live, just to track me down and kill me. They knew of my existence was fabrication to see how far I could go? Am I just a clone of my former self with the feelings and thoughts of the dead me? Am I who I think I am? Am I the one...

Interesting story though. Kind of a Matrix, Holocaust offspring.
