Chapter 11
I woke up and saw a bright light shining down on me. A beautiful woman came out of the sky and
stood next to my bed. She took my hand
as she looked down on me.
“Please, Brian, don’t be
afraid. I wont hurt you,” she said, as I
nodded.
Her hand was cold, and she looked a lot like the blessed mother.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“My name’s Mary,” she said, her eyes moving to the window.
“Why are you here, Mary?” I asked as my gaze went to where she was
looking. I noticed I was in the hallway,
looking at a body through the glass window.
“You have little time, Brian.
In that little time, you need to do the things that you think are
right,” Mary said as my eyes focused on the body laying in the bed.
My eyes widened as I got a clear view of who I was looking at -
the person’s body was my own.
“What are you trying to say, Mary, that I’m going to die?” I
asked.
“I can’t tell you that, Brian.
I’m just here to warn you,” Mary said, as she slowly started to fade
away.
“Mary, don’t go. I don’t
understand,” I said.
“You’ll see soon enough, Brian,” she said as she fully disappeared
into mid air.
I closed my eyes as I felt my soul start to feel warm again. I opened my eyes to see two pairs of eyes
looking down on me.
“Brian, you OK?” Howie asked me as I felt the cold floor against
my back.
“I saw a woman,” I said as they helped me up and into a chair.
What are you talking about, Brian”? AJ asked.
I looked around the room
and saw a picture of the woman I saw in my unconsciousness. My eyes widened in shock.
“I saw her!” I said pointing at the picture on the wall.
“You saw the blessed mother?” they both said at the same time.
“Yes I did, and I’m not crazy.
I saw her!” I said as they both looked at me strangely.
“Rok, I think you need some rest, man,” AJ said, as I nodded.
Maybe he was right.
I heard a voice in my head that sounded like Mary’s.
“There’s no time
to rest, Brian. You need to see Nick now
before anything happens,” the voice said, as I got up and walked out of the
room.
