This happened to my grandmother around 20 years ago.

An elderly neighbour, H. San, was sick and in the hospital.

Well, it was mostly because of her age. She apparently kept asking

for my grandmother to visit, so when H. San's family asked her to visit her, she did.

However, when my grandmother arrived at the hospital, H. San's condition took a sudden

turn for the worse. She was basically a vegetable, and they feared she might

pass away at any moment. And so when my grandmother arrived, they didn't turn her away,

but rather let her in, perhaps to say her final goodbye. But then, as my grandmother entered

the room, suddenly H. San's eyes opened wide.

She looked at my grandmother, motioned for her to come closer, with her hand full of tubes,

and then passed away. Shocked, my grandmother barely finished her greeting before running home.

Something terrible happened, she told her family when she got back.

Well, H. San did like you, after all, they said, making fun of her.

That night, my grandmother dreamt of H. San.

She motioned for her silently to come closer,

and, pulled by a force she couldn't fight against,

she was drawn to her side.

Then what happened?

I asked my grandmother, as she told me about her dream one morning.

I punched her and ran away.

Supposing my grandmother lacked even the tiniest bit of spirit to fight back, then maybe

H. San would have taken her with her.
