His last thoughts before the car careened into the tree were, “I can’t remember why I ever married that woman.”
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
“He’s coming to.”
“Don’t rush it, he took a bad hit.”
As Steven started to stir, he tried to remember where he was. He was … He was … Where was he? He didn’t know. Opening his eyes answered one question with a hundred new ones.
The hospital room was bright, too bright. He shut his eyes. Everything hurt. What happened?
“Hello Mr. Jones. Welcome back from the land of sleep. You’re lucky to be alive right now.”
- Steven Jones was in an unhappy marriage. His wife crashed their car (she’s a bad driver) and in the accident, he lost his memory of the last five years. He was married three years ago. He, when told he has a wife, and the fact is proven, resolves that he must continue to be married to her. No one tells him that their marriage was on the rocks when he lost his memory.
- Also he needs to learn the last five years of technology and current events, so its funny.
