f you want to ask me what is unfair, I cannot tell you because you need to feel it by yourself.
My name is John, I’m a pilot. I used to be an ordinary person until an accident happened.
That day, all news has reported the accident. I was the only survivor of the plane crash
in the Gobi Desert. I woke up and I found no survivors, I picked up a phone and called for
help. ‘No signal!’ I was perplexed. I was hurt and then I closed my eyes…
When I opened my eyes again, I was in another place. There were some soldiers but they were
transparent. The sound was getting louder. I covered my ears and close my eyes. The second time
I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital.
‘John, are you alright?’ My superior-Peter was here and asked me.
‘Where am I?’ I was wondered
‘You were in the hospital, John. Your flight got accident in Gobi Desert and you are the only
survivor. You’re very lucky,’ said Peter.
Then he decided to give me a long holiday to be healed. Then I went to the British during
my holiday. On the other side, I was wondering what the implication of the dream is when I was

any help, just find us for help,’ he said
But at that time, I still didn’t realize that something was wrong to me. Then I went to the hotel
and take a rest.
‘Where is my beer?’ I was talking to myself.
‘It’s here……’
‘What!’ I was intimidated. I looked up and checked whether anyone was in my room. But I saw
no one. Then I saw my drink was on the table, I opened it and drank, and then I turned on the TV
and sit on the sofa to watch.
‘Welcome back to the News reporting. Last month, there was a air crash in the Gobi Desert,
this is the biggest air accident ever of the US. The only survivor-John Samson was dead yesterday.
According to the newspaper of US, when John was discovered, he was already confused. Yesterday,
John stopped breathing anymore and was confirmed that he was dead……’ said the reporter.
When I was trying to digest, the TV was turned off by itself and the light turned off, the
windows were locked. Then I tried to open the door to escape. But it didn’t work, the door was
locked and my key was broken when I was trying to open the door. Then I saw a man who dressed
