"Has Ken's death been confirmed?" Charles asked for confirmation.Elizabeth nodded. "Of course. The man is lifeless. There's no way he can live again. Don't you take my word for it? Do I look like someone who likes to spread fake news? Besides, didn't you see for yourself that the man was dead?" Elizabeth was a little offended that Charles didn't seem to believe her words."It's not like that. I just didn't expect him to die this easily.""What is clear is that he is already dead.""Alright. I'll tell Grandpa the news. It's good news to me. Ken deserved to die."Charles went to see Michael, his grandfather. The old man was relaxing in the den smoking a cigar.

"Nooo!"Michael exclaimed and instantly opened his eyes.It was the same dream all over again. Michael sat up with a sweaty forehead. His eyes were glued to his blanket-covered feet. The dream seemed real, as he was on the edge of a cliff and someone was pushing him from behind."What a horrible dream," Michael whispered to himself.He vividly remembered how his body turned as he plunged and he saw the grin on the face of the person who pushed him. He couldn't see the face at all, as the sunlight refracted behind his body. But he knew it was the grin of someone who wanted to harm him."This is all a dream. Yes, it's just a dream."Michael tried to calm himself down. Honestly, dreams were like a scourge that haunted him lately.They say dreams are the flower of sleep. But is that really the case?
