DREAM ON is a story about a boy who is transported back to the times of the gladiators in Rome... or was it? I can't quite recall anymore... I would be going through the story again as I retype it here...

Next day, everyone woke up early and were getting ready for the new day.
“Come and get it!” Ms. Austin said as theothers were running towards the kitchen and were taking their seats.
“Mmmmmm! What a nice breakfast we have here,” Mr. Miller said. “You really are a good cook,” he said as he looked at his wife saying, “second only to my wife of course,” he ended as Mikey gave a little laugh. “Well, ket’s eat,” Mrs.Miller said as she was getting a plate filled with bread.
“Where are you going, Mrs. Miller?” Mikey asked as he noticed that they were dressed-up.
“We’re going to the office,” Mr. Miller said.
“This early?” exclaimed Mikey.
“Well yes, if we left a little later the streets will be filled with people already, which makes a lot of traffic,” Mrs. Miller said.
And in the middle of the conversation, Mikey heard Old Hernews’ voice. “Mikey, we better go now,” he said as he told Mikey to go to his room for awhile. “Excuse me,” Mikey said. “I would like to go to my room for awhile,” he said as he ran to his room.
In his room, Old Hernews appeared to him. “We better go now,” the old man said.
“But why?” Mikey asked.
“As I told you yesterday, your time is up! We better go,” Old Hernews insisted.
“But can we wait until Mr. & Mrs. Miller leave?” Mikey pleaded. “That’s what I’m afraid of,” Old Hernews said as he sat on Mikey’s bed.
“:Afraid of what? Come on, you better tell me!” Mikey exclaimed. “Don’t you remember?” Old Hernews asked.
“Remember what? What are you talking about?!” Mikey exclaimed. “Don’t you remember how your parents died?” Old Hernews asked. “Yes, I know they died in a vehicle accident.,” Mikey said as he sat beside Old Hernews.
“Why, Old Hernews?” he asked. “Today is the day of that accident. That’s why I want you to leave this moment, so that you wouldn’t be here to see it,” Old Hernews explained.
“Mikey,” Mrs. Miller called out as she and Mr. Miller walked towards the room of Mikey. “We’re leaving. We would like only to say goodbye to you before we go,” she said sweetly.
“Bye. Take care of Ms. Austin and the baby for us, okay?” Mr. Miller said as they walked outside of the room and went towards the front door.
“Old Hernews, what will I do? They’re leaving already. I better stop them…” Mikey said as he quickly ran outside of the door while Old Hernews was following him.
“Mikey, where are you going?” Ms. Austin asked as she saw Mikey rushing out the front door. But he was too late. The couple were already on the street and were on their way.
“Stop!” Mikey screamed. But the couple did not hear him as they increased their speed.
In Mikey’s surprise, he saw a pickup truck with a drunken man behind the wheel, speeding at a very fast pace. The truck was zigzagging its way through the street, not knowing that a vehicle was coming his way.
Mikey reacted quickly and he ran towards the speeding car of Mr. & Mrs. Miller and was signalling them to stop. “Stop the car! Stop the car!” Mikey shouted as he saw the two vehicles, nearing each other in collision. Mr. Miller is trying very hard to outrun the truck but failed…
C-C-C-C-C-C-R-R-R-R-R-A-A-A-A-S-S-S-S-H-H-H-H!
“NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!” Mikey screamed.
