Lily

So my name is Lily, and this story happened in 2011. I was in the 11th grade, and my grandpa had been in a nursing home for... maybe three years at this point and nothing like physically wrong with him, but his mind was pretty gone. Never officially diagnosed, but he had some sort of dementia or Alzheimer's and he'd just become too much for my grandma to take care of.

So they'd moved him into this home and we got updates here and there about him. We'd gotten the latest update we'd gotten was that he was moving rooms from the room he'd always been in into a different room with a new roommate. And we just totally assumed that that had happened. And then maybe like two weeks later, I go to bed one night and I have this dream that I'm in the nursing home.

And my family lives in Canada near Toronto and my grandparents lived in New Jersey. So we really only got there like in the summer. So I'd only ever been in the nursing home maybe two or three times before. when we would like visit once or twice a year.

But it was like super vivid dream of me being in this nursing home and I'm sort of running through the halls trying to figure out where his new room was. Can't find it. I stopped this nurse and I'm like, hey, I'm here to see my grandpa and he had moved rooms and I'm not sure where his new room is. Could you lead me to his new room? And she just sort of goes, Oh no, he never moved rooms.

He's where he's always been. So I'm like, okay, cool. Start walking through the nursing home again. towards where I knew his room was, and his room was sort of at the end of a hallway, like the door, and on the right side of the hallway there was like four sort of waiting room chairs.

So I turn the corner and see his door, it's shut, and there's these four waiting room chairs, and there's this sort of human-like figure sitting in one of the chairs,
