Something strange...

See the thing about Aurora is that her life in Riverview is pretty ordinary, except for the fact that she feels like she lived it before.  Not exactly the same but similar.  See one night Aurora went to bed in her beautiful home on Riverblossom Hills Drive, with her handsome husband sleeping next to her and 3 of seven children sleeping happily in their rooms.  While the other four already moved out and started lives of their own.  Aurora was perfectly content except for this one feeling she would get every once and a while.  Just this feeling like something was off.  However like she always did Aurora went to bed and brushed it off, it was nothing.


So the next morning she woke up, as usual giving herself just the minimal amount of time before she had to leave for work.  Things seemed normal as she started to get out of bed.  Until it hit her, she was waking up in a completely different house on Riverview Road, she was about 30 years younger, and single.  Confused, she sat there for a minute dumbfounded.  "What the hell?"  "I mean I live here, this is normal. But what?"  Is all that kept running through her head.

It took Aurora a few minutes to try and understand what was going on.  She finally boiled it down to it must have been a vivid dream.  It had to be.  Everything was always perfect, including the weather.  Plus she barely aged.  Also now that she was waking up the images of the family she had were becoming blurry.  She could remember everything but the faces weren't so clear anymore.  So Aurora convinced herself that is was just a dream, even though she had this funny feeling that it was going to keep on digging at her.  It was just so real, all of her friends and family were there. They all had detailed lives and stories.  Even the towns folk she barely knew had stories.  It was just so much for it just to be a dream.  Aurora honestly felt like she just lived an alternate life.  But she had to brush it off for now, since as far as she knew this was her real life.  The life of an early twenty something struggling to get by.
