There was no one around. It was unusually quiet. It was the quiet that could make people scared. I noticed that there was a cabin in front of me. It was very cool in the forest. So I walked toward it and knocked the door. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Is anyone here?&rdquo; No one answered. So I just pushed the door and went into the house. It was very small, just about the size of a small room. There was a desk, a book and a box on it. I opened the book and I saw a horrible picture: a man was crashed by a car. Suddenly, the lid of the box opened and a doll jumped out of the box. It cried out with a low thick voice, &ldquo;The one in the picture will die!&rdquo;<br \/>Then I woke up with a scream.&nbsp; It was the most terrible dream that I had had in 21 years.<br \/>The weather on that day was good. It was sunny but my mood was not as good as the weather. I was worried about the dream. I was afraid that what the doll in the dream said would happen.&nbsp; I believed that I knew the one in the picture. As a young doctor, seeing life and death, I didn&rsquo;t want to see any tragedies. <\/p>\n<p>In the hospital, I could not concentrate on my work. <br \/>I always thought, &ldquo;Who is the one in the picture? Would he die finally?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Just then, John, my colleague, who was also my friend came into my office. He looked at me and asked, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s wrong? You look tired.&rdquo; I told him about the nightmare. <br \/>&ldquo;I think you should take a rest. Relax. It&rsquo;s just a dream. Let&rsquo;s have lunch!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the way to the restaurant, I was still thinking about it. When we walked across the road, suddenly, I had a gasp, and I stopped. John turned to me and said, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s wrong? Come on!&rdquo; <br \/>&ldquo;No! It&rsquo;s exactly the same place as I saw in the dream.&rdquo;<br \/>I could remember everything clearly. The road was in the picture. John was the one who was crashed by a car.! <br \/>I yelled, &ldquo;John, watch out!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Bump!&rdquo;<br \/>It was too late.<\/p>\n<p>I felt guilty about it. I thought that it was my fault. If I had recalled the picture earlier, it would not have happened. I was the only one who could stop it. So, I decided that if it happens again, I must stop it.<\/p>\n<p>But after several years, nothing happened. Gradually, I forgot the event.<br \/>However, the peaceful days were not long. I had the same dream again.<br \/>In the dream, I observed the picture carefully to see who was the one in the picture and what would happen. <br \/>In the vision, there was an air-conditioner falling down. I looked around the place. Tall buildings were around. It was like the residential area near&hellip; Oh! I could see the man in the picture&hellip; <br \/>&ldquo;Ling&hellip;ling..!&rdquo; the clock alarmed. I woke up with a scream. I could nearly see the person in the picture. <\/p>\n<p>The next morning, I was worried. I knew where the accident happened. But I still could not figure out who the person in the picture was! Again, I couldn&rsquo;t concentrate on my job. <\/p>\n<p>Just then, Ken, my friend came in. He said, &ldquo;Hey, I want to go to a computer shop to buy a notebook. Could you come with me?&rdquo; &ldquo;Of course!&rdquo; Why did I say that? Because it was the place where the accident would happen.<br \/>On the way to the computer shop,&nbsp; there were many tall buildings with a lot of air-conditioners. To me, they all seemed to fall down at any time. I was nervous.<br \/>While I was thinking, an air-conditioner fell down just right on top of Ken. I ran to Ken and pushed him off. So, the air-conditioner didn&rsquo;t hit Ken. &ldquo;Yes, I do it! I save Ken successfully!&rdquo; I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, it was too early to be happy. The air-conditioner fell down and hit my head.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Dong!&rdquo;<br \/>Everything was clear then. The one in the picture was not Ken. It was me&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I woke up that morning, I knew something was going to happen.<\/p><p>The night before, I had a nightmare I was in a forest.
