Acoma, you never know how the brain will react

A teen girl falls into acoma for over 24 hours and wakes up speaking a different language! 




"Hospital director Dujomir Marasovic said: "You never know when recovering from such a trauma how the brain will react. Obviously we have some theories although at the moment we are limited in what we can say because we have to respect the privacy of the patient."

Psychiatric expert Dr Mijo Milas added: "In earlier times this would have been referred to as a miracle, we prefer to think that there must be a logical explanation – its just that we haven't found it yet."

Did you ride the bus today?


"The bus driver looks at me. “This is your exit, boy.” I don’t recognize anything around me, but for some reason I know better than to argue. I slowly head for the bus door. My stomach hurts, but I push myself out of the bus before Cowboy decides to take me home for a snack. As soon as my feet touch the ground, the bus drives away." #1P2K

Did you ever have a bus driver drop you off in the middle of nowhere? Or maybe your bus driver was the sweetest thing ever. Let's hear it. Tell me your best bus memory. The one that makes me laugh out loud will receive a surprise in the mail!

What is it?

"An abnormal silence plays with my mind. I decide to reach for my headphones, but I can’t move. My heart jumps. No matter how hard I flex, my arm is stuck to the mattress. My lungs suck in air while every other organ aches under the pressure. An uncontrollable trembling takes over. What. The. Heck. Is. Going. On. My eyes blink over a hundred miles per hour. I can’t move, I can’t speak, I can’t, and then I realize I only have one ability left—sight.

Next to my bed stands…" #1P2K

WHAT IS IT? I have to know! Tell me what you see standing next to Johnny.

What would you do?

"Anger manifests inside of me. I don’t think I can control it this time. I didn’t ask to be here, and I have no problem being kicked out of another crappy home. My foster brother, JC, and the neighborhood punk, Miguel, pick the wrong time and the wrong place.
“Where do you think you’re going?” JC yells out to our foster brother, Jeremy, who keeps his head down and walks faster.
“Hey, punk, I don’t remember giving you permission to walk on my sidewalk.”
I watch JC grab Jeremy and shove him against the apartment building next door.
“Look at him, Miguel, he’s such a weak little freak!” They burst into laughter.
My clenched fists are begging to be released. Here we go again. With a deep sigh, I charge straight toward them. Neither dimwit notices. I swear, these two are so stupid that one day they’re gonna get run over by a parked car.

JC draws his arm back and swings fast. His fist makes impact right below Jeremy’s left ribcage. Jeremy slumps down, but Miguel holds him up for JC to use as a human punching bag." #1P2K

Foster home to foster home, bully to bully. Johnny didn't choose to be here. It isn't his fault any of this is happening. This is not his problem. But he still has a choice to make. If you were Johnny, what would you do?

You wanna go, let’s go, but let me warn you, there will be things that appear beautiful, but below ground are horrid and hungry. You might be their future prince, but until you take your throne, they’ll do everything they can to remove you from existence.” #1P2K
