SOMETHING STRANGE IN A DREAM

KELLY.

I found myself back at the Hospital I worked from in my office looking at a picture, when I looked clearly it wasn't a Document of a patient but a picture, for some reason, I couldn't make out how the person on that picture looked like,

The picture wasn't burly or anything so I found this all strange and then suddenly, I thought it was a good idea to turn around the picture and see what was at the back of it

DEAR ISRAEL, immediately i saw those words, I throw the picture on the floor in panic and horror has I stood up,

What was this doing here, who could have written something like that at the back of a photo,

Looking down at myself, I realized I didn't look anyway pregnant like I should have, I touched my flat stomach in horror

"My baby" I said in more of a whisper, when my eyes turned to the floor to look at the picture I had thrown there, I was surprised it wasn't there,

I looked around the whole floor as if my eyes just decieved me but there was nothing,

Suddenly, I felt a cold hand touch my back, I dared not look behind me

"Mommy!" I heard a little child's voice say, maybe it was a patient I said and slowly looked behind me

"Baby wake up, wake up!" I suddenly felt familiar hands around my body and opened my eyes to see Jimmy hugging me

"Its only a dream" he said, I looked at his face and then at my surrounding, I was in the hospital laying on a hospital bed, it was just a dream, I looked at my stomach has reality hit me,

I was only dreaming, but what kind of strange dream was that,

Why did I see the same words again?

"Jim, did you go home?" I asked him

"Yes, I have been going home since you got admitted to freshen up, what is it?" He asked

"Did you see something strange there?" I asked

"Something strange, no honey, I haven't seen anything strange, was there something strange?" He asked

"Did you not see any piece of paper in the living room?" I asked remembering I had left that paper on the couch

"No, I didn't see any paper, I was even cleaning the house yesterday but I didn't see any paper, is it some important work document?" I found this all too strange, I was sure I had left that paper in the living room so where exactly had it disappeared to if he had cleaned the house?,

"How did I get here, to this hospital?" I asked

"I told you, I found the house empty when I got there and received a call from the hospital saying you where here, I immediately rushed here, A nurse found you at the front door unciounious" he explained, this was too strange

"But, I was home, waiting for you and then some strange things started to happen, someone pushed me from up the stairs and I fell down and passed out" I tried explaining thinking he would probably find this weird as well

"But honey, how could you have come to the hospital if you passed out at home?" He asked

"Was, was my car here, I mean was it at the hospital?" I asked

"No, the car is home, I found it home when I got there" he explained, was it just me or something really strange was happening?, all these things weren't adding up, if they all claimed I came to the hospital myself, then how did I get here when my car was back home?,

Our house wasn't near any hospital infact, the nearest hospital from our house was a twenty minutes drive which was also the same hospital I worked for

"What hospital is this?" I asked

"This is the Lionel private hospital"he answered to my horror,

This was the futherest hospital from our house which took almost one hour thirty minutes from home

"So I walked that distance from home to here by foot?" I asked thinking he would get a direction of my thoughts

"Honey, I don't know how you got here but you probably hired a taxi or something, how else would you get here if not so, don't you remember anything?, I shook my head in response,

How could I not remember how I got here?

"Enough with all these questions, I don't want you to worry yourself too much, we have already lost the baby and its probably for a reason" what reason would be the course to lose our first child?, no all this didn't just add up,

Something or someone was behind this and no matter what, I was going to find out

"One last question" I said looking at my husband, for some reason he didnt look too affected by the loss of our child, I hadnt seen him grif or anything of the sort, all he had been doing was trying to calm me down each time I broke down, no tears in his eyes and no sad expression on his face, but why? I wondered

"Okay, that question only and then I will go and get something for us to eat" he said with a smile

"Did you find a broken glass cup on the floor in the kitchen?" I asked

"No, the kitchen was clean, no broken glass whatsoever, enough with the weird questions am going to get you some food" he said kissing my forehead and then left,

How was it possible, first it was the letter and the strange things happening, then me getting to the hospital alone even though I couldn't remember doing that, the disappearance of the letter not to mention the nightmare I just had and now, he found the kitchen clean, no broken glass on the floor.

I was still deep in thought when for some reason, my eyes shut at their own accord, I tried opening them but they couldn't, I had the same feeling I had that night, I was no longer alone,

I tried to scream for help but no matter what I did, my lips could not open has if glued together, what was happening to me?....
