always been encouraged that her organs are functioning well and her brainwave activity is strong. And my hope remains that as the brain injury continues to heal, her condition will improve.”
    “So she hasn’t improved?” Sidney asked.
    “Not exactly.”
    “She’s getting worse?” my dad asked, sounding distraught.
    “No,” Dr. Tyson said. “She’s not getting worse, but there is a new wrinkle.”
    “What is it?” my mother demanded.
    “Marigold is… pregnant.”
    Okay, I did not see that coming.

A note from the author
     
    Thank you so very much for taking the time to read my story COMA GIRL (part 2). Are you enjoying the format of the serial? I hope so! This project has been a labor of love for me. I’ve been toying with the idea of a daily serial for some time, and once I decided how to present it, I needed the right story, something that would sustain a daily narrative for an extended period of time.
    When I was ten years old, one of my teachers revealed an accident had left her in a coma when she was young. She said she remembered all the conversations around her during that time and when she awoke, astounded doctors and family members by asking them about things they had said while she was “asleep.” At ten, my imagination was just starting to take flight, so I was fascinated by her tale and it stayed with me. Fast forward to when I began a fiction-writing career in the late 1990s. I pitched a romantic comedy about a woman in a coma to a publisher who liked the idea and, subsequently, bought it. But before I could finish writing it, the line closed and the contract was cancelled. (Please do not get me started about the unending wonkiness of the publishing industry.) I was so disappointed. I had written several chapters of the story and while I loved the concept, it didn’t fit any line I wrote for as my career progressed. So it sat on a shelf for 20 years.
    When I was trying to come up with a story that could be told as a daily serial, I remembered the coma story, and thought the concept was perfect. I had to make a lot of adjustments to the original story, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out—I hope you are, too! And I hope you’ll follow along with all 6 parts of COMA GIRL covering six months in the life of Marigold Kemp as she lies a victim of everyone who visits her hospital room and unloads on her!
