I Sacrificed Myself To Save Lives Of 30 People
Hi, there! My name is Abigail and I am thirteen years old. Recently my whole life has turned into a complete mess. I even started thinking that I'd lost my mind after the horrible thing that happened in my family. But the thing is - I am afraid of my dreams. And I have a reason to be.
There was not even a hint of misery in our family and I lived a completely ordinary life with my beloved mother and father. My mom was a housewife and my dad had recently gotten a really high-up position at a trading company. It was cool, but he had to go away often on business trips and my mom and I missed him a lot.
But then everything changed for the worse. My father was about to come back from another city, so I was very excited. I went to bed late that night. I closed my eyes and... I saw something incredible. My father and I were watching a star fall in the forest. He was telling me about the constellations, when suddenly the ground started shaking. My dad slipped and fell into the darkness. He called for me and screamed for help, but I couldn't breathe or move. Then there was a flash of light and... I was sitting on my bed with my eyes wide open.
It took me a while to realize it was just a dream, but I couldn't sleep a wink afterward. I thought I could still hear my father's voice calling me. And I couldn't calm myself down, so I went to my mom's bedroom and told her about my nightmare with tears in my eyes. I was terrified, and I felt like we had to call my dad and check on him. My mom thought that it was a crazy idea to call him in the middle of the night, but I insisted. And my dad was really surprised to hear a, 'Hey, are you OK?' question at three in the morning, but thankfully he was alright.
He came back home safe and sound. My mom and I made a special dinner for him and we all made jokes about that crazy dream of mine. The next morning my dad took me to school. He winked at me and said: "We will probably find that forest with the shooting stars one day." Then he laughed his funny laugh and drove to work. Little did I know that this was the last time I would see my father.
I was still at school, when my mom called me. Her voice was trembling. She said that my dad felt really bad at work and he had been taken to the hospital. My legs just gave out from under me when I heard that. It was something called a perforated ulcer and by the time we arrived at the hospital, my father had already died.
My mom and I felt absolutely lost and broken and we both cried our eyes out. My mom has always been pretty skeptical about anything mystic, but she said: "Oh, how I wish we knew you had a prophetic dream!" Of course, this very thought was already torturing me. Was it a horrible coincidence? I had no more doubts. I saw my dream, I had a chance to prevent this tragedy, but I failed it! I felt so bad about it that I could not stop beating myself up over it. I even started thinking that it was my dream that made it all happen! I started keeping myself awake as long as possible, because I was afraid I would have another fateful nightmare. I finally drove myself to insomnia and total depression. My mom tried to do her best to comfort me and to persuade me that none of it was my fault, but that didn't help much. She even took me to the doctor. But there were no psychiatrists or sleeping pills that could help me.
My entire school was aware of what had happened and my classmates were pointing fingers and whispering behind my back. Some of them really believed I had superpowers or something and even asked me to predict their future, which was no help to my growing madness. It was all just so ridiculous, but it all made me deeply convinced in my higher purpose. And believe it or not, destiny gave me another chance.
Summer came and we were about to go on our annual school camping trip. My mom insisted that I had to go, to clear my head. And then it happened again. I was lying on the sofa, I closed my eyes and saw... a yellow school bus. It was driving down the road. Then I realized I was inside that bus. There were all my classmates and friends there, but they were all sleeping. I was sitting next to my best friend. I started shaking her, but she would not wake up. Suddenly she opened her eyes and they were empty and hollow! I looked around and saw what seemed like millions of those zombie eyes staring at me. I screamed and sprung up on the sofa. It took me a moment to come to my senses. I could not fail now! There were so many lives at stake! I had to warn them all!文本并非一一对应，且不完整，仅供参考阅读
