The Night I Was Left Behind: A Dream-Like Journey
***Based on a true dream that changed everything***
What if a dream wasn’t just a dream...... but a message from beyond the waking world?
In this poetic and intimate short story, a mysterious night bus becomes the gateway to a spiritual journey crossing the threshold of memory, loss, identity, motherhood, and quiet revelation.
"The Night I Was Left Behind" is drawn from a real dream for those who have felt abandoned by life, only to realise they were being led somewhere deeper, ahead of time.
In this beautifully crafted 28-page narrative, a young woman awakens to find herself utterly alone, not in her home, but in a strange, timeless world where echoes of her past murmur in the wind.
As shadows stretch and reality dissolves, she begins a solitary journey through a dreamlike landscape stitched together by fragments of love, loss, and the lingering presence of something unspoken.
Written by emerging African author Ing. Ellah Lawson, this story is a true, first-person narrative, drawn from a vivid dream experience; it’s a meditation on emotional exile, spiritual awakening, and the invisible places our hearts visit when no one else is looking.
