Dear Maria, I know you dod not request critique and we said we'd doonly when asked within the Critique forum, but this is such a good opening to an even longer story, but, your castrated sentences abruptly break into the flow of one's thoughts when reading. I tried to soften the flow.
But...Alison's memory 'could' return, bit by bit making for some suspenseful reading...and some great surprises?
I hope you don't mind, but I couldn't resist playing with your short entreé which fuelled further possibilities, Zy x

The accident had taken its toll; Alison was left suffering from amnesia, lost in a world of darkness.

She was afraid of everything and had to learn to trust again. Everyone wants to help, she thought, but they don't realize that I will have to believe in myself first and never take anything for granted. She had nothing she could gather from.  Gleaning is wonderful, but not easy, since she didn't have memories to fall back on.

Alison was a writer, but now it was a formidable challenge, all she held was a blank page.

Doctor Emile Watson became her mentor, he acted properly when dealing with her but she was fraught with fear, nothing she did or said seemed to make sense. He worked hard to help her regain her self confidence and once she'd attained this, Alison began to live once more. He took time to help and she realised that he was not only acting as her mentor, but, was to become her husband as well. 
It seemed Alison would never return to her former self, but was to remain suspended in "No where land," a place of make believe and dreaming.
