My little brother keeps telling me about this recurring dream he has.

"There are these little talking lights and they tell me things. Things that are about to happen!" He always says.

"Really? Like what?" I always ask.

Each time he tells me something different. One time they told him about what he was going to have for dinner, a different day it told him he was going to win a game in our family game night, etc. Mostly little coincidences, but he's come to believe that they are prophetic or something. Last night apparently they told him something disturbing about me.

"Last night the lights told me something about you!" He said.

"Oh really? What did they say?" I asked him.

"They said that you're next."

"Next for what?"

"They didn't tell me that part."

Tonight I go to bed scared out of my wits. I know that the lights are probably just a weird dream of his but I can't shake the feeling that something's about to happen. I shake my head and try to fall asleep.

Just as I got to the edge of sleep I saw them. Two small lights on the edges of my vision.

"Finally we have found my replacement!" The light on the left said.

"You're lucky I still have a year left that I have to stay stuck in limbo." The light on the right said.

"Wha-what's happening?" I shakily said.

"Don't worry child, this won't hurt a bit." The two lights said as one.

They were wrong, it hurt a lot.
