What's going on?

“Open wide!”

But just as Jay swallowed the strange-tasting liquid, he realized his mother wasn't holding the spoon and he was beginning to feel very peculiar!

Instead, he saw a man with a long beard. Behind him, was another man who had a bushy mustache, and long, red hair.

He was lying on a stretcher. He seemed to be in a hospital, but he wasn't quite sure.

Jay felt very dizzy. He tried to remember what had happened before that, but he could not concentrate. He tried staring at a certain circle of all the circle designs on the wall, but each time after he looked at a certain one, it seemed to blur and turn into two other circles.

Jay gave up after a while. He dare not ask a question to the men, for he thought they might be out to murder him. The two men whispered and murmured to each other.

“He seems okay,” Jay heard one of the men whisper to the other.

“Think he's not co...ous,” the long bearded man said.

“Hopefully, he's no...ous,” the red haired man said.

Jay missed out some words, but he made out most of it.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and he asked, “Where am I? Where are my parents? What is this place? What is your name? Who are you?!”

The questions came bursting out without him thinking.

“Don't you know...oh wait, you had a concussion, so you don't remember anything...I am Dr. McLuhan, your family doctor, and this is Dr. Mark,” he nodded in the direction of the red haired man.

Dr. Mark continued for Dr. McLuhan, “you were riding your bike and as you fell off, you hit the concrete. You lay there for a long time, until you were found by a neighbor. The neighbor had just moved in and did not know who you were and belonged to. So she dragged you into the house, and luckily I had been her husband and just found a job as a doctor here. The first person who became my friend was Dr. McLuhan.”

Dr. McLuhan finished, “I recognized you as my personal favorite patient. I called your mom, and she's on her way. Here,” he handed Jay a cup of warm water, “it has a special medical ingredient that should help you gain some memories.”

Jay drank the water nervously, for he still had some suspicions. But soon he had gained many memories, and in one was Dr. McLuhan.

Soon, his mother came, and he went home—all suspicions and lost memories gone.

His life went on as usual, but he still had a couple of surprises waiting for him!
