On a winter night in Tokyo, a young psychology professor was preparing for her lecture the next day. At three o'clock in the morning, her phone suddenly vibrated, and she received a short message: "Don't be late." The professor was stunned. She clearly had no appointments, and no one would send her a reminder at this hour. Yet an inexplicably strong impulse welled up in her heart: she must leave immediately. So she packed her bags, rushed to the airport, bought a ticket for the first flight to New York. She didn't tell anyone. More than ten hours later, she arrived in New York, turned on the TV, and saw the news: a severe earthquake had just hit Tokyo, causing massive casualties. All her colleagues and students were among the victims. What is strange is — that message was never meant for her. Even more strange is — if she had not seen that message, she would not have died, but she would have made a decision she could never forgive herself for for the rest of her life.

The theater was packed with audience, but all I "saw" was dead silence gray-white, because the audience was too quiet. Before the performance started, the conductor walked up to me and handed me what was said to be the most perfect fiddle ever created. I played the first note. In that instant, I "saw" an unprecedented, dazzling golden color. I was so excited that I almost fainted, and the sound of the fiddle became more and more high-pitched. However, just as I was immersed in the wonderful golden light, I suddenly felt a chill in my palm. I instinctively licked the liquid on my palm, it tasted like bitter almonds, and also like withered roses. At this very moment, I rushed off the stage like crazy, broke through the theater door. Every passerby on the street outside was smiling at me, but I dug out my own eyes while screaming. Three days later, all oxygen on Earth disappeared, but no one died.
