Elan World 7 - Crash Landing

"Elaine? ELAINE! Doctor Smith, she's been like this for two days. All she does is stare at the ceiling. She hasn't eaten or said a word to anyone. It's like she's dreaming, yet awake. Please Doctor - DO SOMETHING."

You know Mrs. Shelby, ever since the accident Elaine's condition has worsened. Not physically necessarily. Her broken neck resulted in full paralysis that will never get any better, neither will it likely get worse. It's her mental state that I'm concerned with. She loved that horse with all her heart, it was the center of her life. When Daisy broke her leg and the two of them went down it destroyed Elaine's body. But when the horse had to be put down it impacted her psychologically. I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do. I wish I had better news."

"I understand. But will we ever have our little girl back? Does she even know who we are anymore?"

"I wish I could say. We'll just have to wait and see. Expect the worst, Mrs. Shelby. I'm sorry."

"The people gather 'round me with elation and good cheer.

This world where no one's needy has to me become quite dear.

The evil's been defeated, we've won the holy fight,

but somewhere deep inside I know that something's still not right.

From a distant place a voice is calling out my name.

By Elana I am known here, yet the voice calls out Elaine.

I feel myself grow weary as I lay back down to sleep.

The Elanites around me say my memory they'll keep.

When I awake I look around... but cannot... move my limbs...

Mom? MOMMY! Help me... please. OH GOD, HELP ME!"
