           "Who are you", George asked, referring to the person clothed in white garments, backing him.
  
Slowly, the figure turned and faced the petrified boy.
 
"Dad", he gasped in surprise. "What the heck are you doing dressed in these", he motioned to the garments. "Don't you know you look scary?".
          
            No response.

"Dad, what's the matter with you?".
           No response.

"I get it. You do not wanna talk so I will just leave , the boy said and turned away.

"Never steal or kill to get what you want in life. God will stand by you in times of sorrow, trials and tribulations. Please stay strong  for yourself and your mum because I will be embarking on a journey
of no return", Peter said in a deep voice.

The boy turned to face his father, a puzzled look on his face.

  "What do you mean by a journey of no return?, he asked in a fear-griped voice. "Why are you saying all these things? You are scaring me", he cried.
 
" It is my greatest pain thatch I have to leave you at this tender age of your life but the Lord's time has come and there is no escaping it. You have to stay strong and you have to stand by your mum. I love you", Peter wept as he disappeared out of sight.

"Dad. Dad. Wait Dad, wait".
   
"Dad. Dad. Dad, wait Dad, he kept on screaming as he jumped out of bed.
  
  "What's wrong", Scott, his best friend asked as he helped him back to his bed.
  
"Something is wrong", George said.

"Wanna talk about it?", his buddy asked.
  
"My dad appeared to me in my dream clothed in white garments saying that he is embarking on a journey of no return and other scary stuffs like that", he explained.

   Scott laughed heartily till his ribs ached.

     "What's funny about that?", George asked with disgust.
   
"I'm so sorry but it's very funny. How can you take a dream so serious as this? Dreams can be very deceiving so they shouldn't be taken so serious".

   "But it looked very scary", Peter said.
   
"Don't think about it else it would weigh you down. There is nothing to worry about", Scott said and hugged him to allay his fears.
  
"I'm really getting apprehensive", George said with fear written all over him.
 
  " Don't be. Don't be"
