THE PROPHECY OF THE WINGS

Was it a dream or was it reality?

There he was, standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down at a cold, lifeless world. Buildings had crumbled and fallen. Vehicles lay upon their backs; their drivers nowhere to be seen. The streets were filled with debris. Thick black smoke blocked out the sun, and darkened a once clear blue sky. Everything was in ruins. It was so quiet, so still, as though death had waved his hand over everything in sight. Had there been an earthquake? A tornado? No, it looked like something else. Something unnatural . . . 

Was it a dream or was it reality?

He suddenly awakened, covered in perspiration and surrounded by darkness. He reached over and switched on the small beige lamp that rested upon his night table. Looking around, he realized he was still in his bed, in his bedroom, on the upper floor of his family’s house, on the same street he had lived on since he was a child.

He managed to climb out of the bed and walk over to his window. In the still of the night, he could see by the light of the street lamps, that the world he had known before he fell asleep had not changed. He breathed a sigh of relief, and flopped onto his bed. There was an unexpected knock at his bedroom door. Yes? he said.

The door slowly opened, and his younger sister stuck her head into the room. Hey, Fortune, she said as she attempted to suppress a yawn. I was on my way to the kitchen when I noticed your light was on. Are you okay?

I’m fine, Haverdy, Fortune replied. He forced himself to smile; despite the fact the images from his dream were still fresh in his mind.

Haverdy shook her head in disbelief. You can’t lie to me, big brother, she said. She clutched her robe and opened the door the rest of the way. What’s up?

It was the dream again, Fortune said with a heavy sigh.

The one about the end of the world? Haverdy asked.

Yeah, Fortune replied. It’s always the same. Me, standing on a cliff, looking down at a world I couldn’t save.

You couldn’t save? Haverdy asked as she sat on the end of her brother’s bed. Do you think you’re supposed to save the world?

Fortune laughed half-heartedly and looked up at the ceiling. I don’t know, he said. Every time I have that dream I always have this strange guilty feeling. It’s like the world ended and it was all my fault. And now I have a feeling something big is about to happen to me.

Something big is about to happen to you, Haverdy said, as-a-matter-of-factly. You’re going to be eighteen in two days, remember?

"Yeah,
