[The Awakening 01] • The Arena

“Another day!” thought Mia to herself.

His every movement was given away by the creaking of the floorboards in their colonial style bungalow. The occasional “Goddamit!” could be heard being muttered under his breath as he dropped the milk from the fridge while preparing the breakfast. Hearing that would normally bring a smirk to someone’s face but Mia could only chuckle to herself on the inside.

Mia is a quadriplegic who cannot speak. She is lovingly looked after by her husband Kyle who diligently takes her for treatment under Dr. Cooper, at a distinguished clinic named The Arena, in Washington DC. Although she cannot speak nor move, her mind is still sharp.
