I saw a child. Next, the little boy threw stones at me. I thought he was an innocent kid. But I was wrong, he was being possessed by a devil, with a devilish laugh while throwing stones at me. Next, I walked forward to a place.
I faced the right side, and saw a strange creature appeared out of nowhere. I cannot see his face, only his slimy, viscous body and monstrous hands with long black nails. I tried to reach out his hand. to hold him, to save him.
I was holding his hand, however, the longer I held it, the worse the pain I felt.
It's like he's poisoning me, and I felt a terrible unbearable pain.
I felt like I was dying and my body was slowly giving up. But I didn't give up, it seemed I was ready for whatever will happen.
I already resigned myself to destiny, accepting whatever my fate will be.
I was almost breathless, in a hopeless situation when suddenly, a divine being appeared above me.
I cannot see his face as well. I only saw his white hand dazzling above from the sky.
I felt that the dazzling white hand was not on good terms with the other monstrous creature. It seemed like they're in fighting mode.
I could feel the tension between them, they were not at peace with each other.
The divine heavenly hand seemed to offer his hand towards me.
Next, I decided to reach out to that heavenly hand. It's not easy to do it.
I was struggling hard to reach it, due to my unbearable pain and I felt too weak to move.
But I tried and tried to reach it. Eventually, I made it, I reached his hand and held it tightly using my remaining weak force.
Next, I wanted to reconcile both of them.
I tried to bring their hands closer together.
The two beings were like two repelling forces at first, as if they were both disgusted with each other.
However, I persisted and kept on trying to make them become close again.
After a long time of trying to make them closer, they finally decided to accept it and they shook hands.
In the end, I succeeded. I made it.
Then, out of nowhere, I was instantly healed.
I felt no pain anymore. My terrible unbearable pain disappeared.
I felt more alive than ever.
