### **Prologue: The Crash**
Daniel Carter was a man who had it all—until he didn't. A high-flying corporate lawyer in the heart of New York City, he lived life at breakneck speed. But one rainy night, his sleek sports car skidded off the road, sending him spiraling into darkness.
When he awoke, the world was different. Too bright. Too loud. Too… *large.*
He wasn't Daniel anymore.
He was a fly.
### **Chapter 1: Wings of Desperation**
Disoriented and terrified, Daniel buzzed through the city, his tiny body buffeted by winds, his compound eyes taking in a world he no longer belonged to. He landed on a diner's greasy window, watching his own reflection—a grotesque, buzzing insect where a man once stood.
*"This can't be real."*
But it was.
Hunger gnawed at him. The scent of rotting food was intoxicating, yet repulsive. His human mind recoiled as his fly instincts drove him toward a discarded burger. He fed, disgusted with himself.
### **Chapter 2: The Struggle to Survive**
Days blurred into nights. Daniel dodged swats, spiders, and toxic fumes. He witnessed human life from the shadows—lovers arguing, a homeless man feeding pigeons, a child crying over a lost balloon. He tried to communicate, but his buzzing was meaningless noise.
One day, he landed on a hospital windowsill.
And there he saw *himself.*
His human body—alive, but unmoving. Tubes snaked from his arms. Machines beeped. His fiancée, Sarah, sat beside him, tears in her eyes.
*"I'm in a coma… This isn't real. Or is it?"*
### **Chapter 3: The Revelation**
A strange peace settled over him. If this was a coma dream, then maybe he wasn't *really* a fly. Maybe his spirit had wandered, lost between life and death.
He watched Sarah whisper, *"Come back to me."*
Something inside him *clicked.*
He didn't need to *become* human again.
He needed to *remember* he already was.
### **Chapter 4: The Return**
With newfound clarity, Daniel let go. His tiny fly body lifted one last time, wings humming as he soared toward the hospital window—
—and then, darkness.
**Beep… Beep… Beep…**
His eyelids fluttered.
Sarah gasped.
"Daniel?"
His lips cracked into a weak smile.
"I'm back."
### **Epilogue: A Second Flight**
Daniel never forgot his time as a fly. He quit his high-stress job, married Sarah, and started a foundation for coma research. Sometimes, when a fly buzzed near him, he'd smile and open a window.
Because he knew—sometimes, the smallest creatures carried the biggest souls.
