"Last night, I dreamed about my aunt's death. In my dream, I was at a wedding. Everyone was dancing and laughing. But one chair at the table was empty. It was my aunt's chair.
I walked around the room, looking for her. I asked my cousins, "Where is Aunt Maria?" They looked at me with strange, cold faces. No one answered. The music kept playing, but it sounded slower and slower.
Then I saw a white door at the end of the room. I opened it. Behind the door was a hospital bed. My aunt lay there, very thin and pale. Her eyes were closed. Machines beeped slowly next to her.
I ran to her and grabbed her hand. It was ice cold. "Wake up!" I shouted. "Please don't go!" But her hand became heavier and heavier in mine. The beeping sound became slower. Beep... beep... beep...
Suddenly, all the lights went off. I screamed her name in the dark. No one came. The music from the wedding was gone. The silence was terrifying.
Then a nurse appeared. She did not look at me. She just pulled a white sheet over my aunt's face. "No!" I screamed. "She can't die! Not like this! Not without saying goodbye!"
I woke up gasping for air. My heart was beating wildly. I grabbed my phone and called my aunt right away. She answered after two rings, laughing at something on TV. Hearing her voice, I started to cry. It was only a dream. She was still here. I promised myself to visit her this weekend."
