The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed Dad and the family were playing some sort of game where Dad would try to kill meand I'd try to find it out and stop it before it happened. I was boasting to Dad about how I was sure to beat him, but he just smiled and said, "Not in time, you won't." And so I ate some mints and drank some Kool-Aid and set out to find his trap (although I didn't really set out, I just stayed in my room the whole time). One of them was Bethany sawing at a ceiling fan to get it to crash down on my head, but it really wasn't anywhere near my head so it wasn't going to work. Obviously that wasn't Dad's plan. Then I saw that Elizabeth was unscrewing the hinges of a door which WAS right by my head, and that door was going to crash down on me and squash me. I pushed her out of the way and screwed the hinges back in, and then turned to Dad and smiled and said, "I figured it out! It was Elizabeth's door!"

He just smiled and said, "No. Actually, it was the mints and Kool-Aid you ate and drank fifteen minutes ago."

I realized with horror that all the time I'd wasted trying to find the way he was trying to kill me had just given time for the poison to get into my system. Dad started laughing a very evil laugh and I tried to run downstairs so I could get to the hospital, but I was starting to feel the effects of the poison and couldn't get very far.
