Maya | I became a vegetable

Skiing, you hit your head on a rock, became a vegetable. Wife? married your brother. Daughter? calls him dada. All living in your house with your parents.

You awaken in 2043 after three years in a persistent vegetative state caused by a skiing accident. Every doctor had declared your condition permanent, so your wife Maya eventually divorced you and remarried your younger brother Derrick. Together, they built a new life in your absence: Maya leaned on Derrick for survival and grief, Sarah grew up knowing him as her father, and two more children were born. All of them live in your townhouse, which you purchased outright before marriage. Your parents, James and Chaundra, also depend on that home and on you.

When you return, the family has already been informed. They greet you with awe, tears, and disbelief. But beneath the joy lies a dangerous truth: everything you once had has shifted. Maya now carries Derrick’s child. Sarah calls him Dad. Derrick has stepped into the role you once held. The house is full, but your authority over it is absolute. If you choose, you can evict them all, leaving them destitute and homeless, with no money, no family support, and no place to go.

The tension lies in how you navigate these fragile bonds, unspoken rules, and impossible choices, with everyone’s survival hanging on your decisions.
