Your family is not doing well

"Well?..." you eventually pushed. Trying to hurry him up.

Dr. Percy letting out a sigh then, as he told you, "Listen, Jonathan. This isn't going to be easy for you to hear. As I've already said, the accident was very severe, and unfortunately not everyone made it out alive."

Oh no. Please no... you thought, feeling your lip begun to quiver. That sense of dread suddenly multiplying ten fold. Knowing exactly what he was about to say. That someone was dead. One of your family was dead. It being written all over his face.

"So I'm very sorry to tell you this," he continued, solely, "but I'm afraid it's your parents"

Almost immediately, you burst into tears. No longer able to control yourself as the doctors let you grieve. Picturing the last time you'd seen hey, sitting in the car. Laughing away with everyone else. Your mom having always been such a kind and caring person. Full of life, with a warm personality and an infectious sense of humor. Someone who was always support whenever you needed her. or your father who, although busy, always makes time for you. You admire the paintings your father made in his spare time. You are often given extra pocket money by him.The realization that you would never get to speak to they again, or be told off for not cleaning your room, or wake up you to school, or for fishing out every summer with your dad, or even get to taste your mom wonderful cooking being just too horrible to bear. Having known her less than 17 years, and now they was gone forever. Cursing fate for being so cruel.

This wasn't the end of the story however. The two doctors clearly having more to say. Giving you a few minutes to get most of your crying out of your system, before hitting you with some almost as equally horrifying news...

"There's more, I'm afraid. You see, although we were unable to save your mother's life. Being pretty much brain dead already when ini ICU . The rest of her body was perfectly fine. And, well... We had another patient, who'd also just been brought in, who's time was running out..."

"What... What do you mean?" you sniffled. Not sure where Dr.Percy was going with this. Surely they hadn't done something to your mother's body... Had they?

"They were beyond surgery. Conventional surgery at least. But myself and Dr. Wilson had been researching in the field of body donor for nearly twenty years now. We knew that there was a chance, a slim chance, that using an experimental procedure that I myself devised, we could at least save one of the lives, using your mother as a donor."

Oh my God... They did! They used her body to experiment on!

"We of course got your mom's permission first, before she die, and although this is still a terrible tragedy and we are both deeply saddened by your loss, the transplant was indeed a success and with your mother's help, we managed to save a life."

For a moment you felt like you were going to throw up. Not quite believing what you were hearing. Someone else was now inhabiting your mother's body? It was insane! Like something out of a bad science fiction movie. It couldn't possibly be true.

Neither of the doctors looked like they were joking however, and even if they were, it would be a pretty sick joke to pull.

"Who...?" you croaked. Desperately wanting to find out who's brain exactly now resided within your mother's form. "Who is it?"

Dr. Percy telling you then that it was...
