A Glimpse of Tomorrow
It was midnight. I still have to finish the pile of works though my eyes were getting heavy. Suddenly, I was shocked with what I saw.
In front of me is my own body, cold and lying down there in a hospital room. Many apparatuses were connected to my body and I saw different pills and medicine bottles on the table. I don’t understand what’s happening.
Then in a flash, I saw my parents, friends and other relatives standing beside me, drenched in tears. I forced myself to get closer to them and asked them a question. Can someone tell me what is happening? Why am I in there? But, no one answered. It’s like they cannot hear me nor even see me. Then, I thought of it for a second, am I dead?
If I’m a ghost already, then how did I died? Why am I lying in a bed in a hospital room instead of a coffin? It does not make sense. I remember those type of movies that one would see their self-dead after being involved in an accident, but did I got hit by a car? I don’t remember any of it, or even being stabbed by someone I don’t know.
Many questions are rising in my head little by little, but still not even a single one was answered. I can clearly remember the moments before this happened except for a few seconds maybe. I think I am not influenced by alcohol or any kind of drugs but I think I’ve already lost my sanity. Maybe I was in a coma and I have to do something to get back on my body for that is always the case in television series that I watch. But wait!
I saw a bright light and I think I have to go there. And in one poof, I woke up. I was relieved that it was only a dream but I have to tell it to my parents. I was rushing to go downstairs and I haven’t seen the spilled water just before the stairs. I slipped and my head went first, and I felt my head crashed into something hard. Suddenly, my vision became blurry and it all went black.
As my eyes open, it was the same scene that I saw in my dreams. There’s the apparatus, pills and medicine bottles and the familiar people standing beside me. Then I realized, I had a glimpse of tomorrow—a vision.
