Visions. I know who the killer is
Settlement. A street with private houses on both sides. Time of year: summer – August. A father and daughter live in one of them.
Karina Khromova, sixteen years old, brunette, medium height, shoulder-length hair, thin, knows how to stand up for herself. Character: strong-willed, honest, purposeful, kind. She dreams of working as a kindergarten teacher.
Karina and her father are sitting at the kitchen table, having lunch. On the table are two plates of borscht and a plate of pies.
– Daughter, have you decided to become a teacher? – asks the father.
– Why not! “I’ll go to college, study and look after the kids,” Karina answers.
“By that time you will need to start your own,” the father says, biting the pie.
– Wait and see.
– — I don’t intend to wait long.
“I’d better go for a walk with Dick,” says Karina and gets up from the table. The father looks out the window and says:
– — Be careful not to get wet, clouds are approaching.
Dick looks at Karina, starts jumping and wagging his tail. Karina attaches the leash to her collar and goes outside. The sun is shining brightly, it’s warm outside Karina and Dick are playing in the field. Dick, a German shepherd, has been faithfully serving his owners for eight years. Karina’s father often swears at him, so he loves Karina more.
Black clouds are approaching and she decides to return home. Suddenly a strong wind rises and it starts to rain. Karina and Dick are hiding under a large tree, she sits down and begins to stroke Dick.
“Don’t worry, now the rain will stop and you and I will go home,” says Karina.
Khromov Yuri Ivanovich, forty-five years old, dark-haired, of average height, thin, has a gentle character, rarely shows severity. I’m ready to lend my shoulder at any moment.
At this moment lightning strikes, Karina falls to the ground and loses consciousness. Dick whines and licks Karina’s face, then turns around and runs home.
After jumping over the fence, Dick begins to bark near the door. The father comes out to the door and asks:
– — Are you a dick, or what? Where did you lose Karina?
Dick turns around and runs to the gate. Yuri Ivanovich throws on his raincoat as he walks and runs out of the house, following Dick. Dick looks back, waiting for his owner, and picks up speed again. Ten minutes later, Yuri Ivanovich runs up to his daughter and feels the pulse on his hand.
“There is a pulse, which means he will live,” says Yuri Ivanovich.
He takes Karina in his arms and carries her home, Dick runs next to her and barks.
The rain does not stop, as if the heavenly office decided to flood this world.
Yuri Ivanovich takes Karina into the bedroom and puts her on the bed. He dials the ambulance number on the landline and says:
– Hello ambulance!
Chapter No. 2
An ambulance arrives, a doctor and a nurse enter the house. In the bedroom, Karina lies unconscious on the bed. The doctor sits down on the bed next to her and begins to listen to her. The nurse takes a chair and sits next to him, the father watches while standing.
– — What happened? – the doctor asks Yuri Ivanovich.
– — I don’t know, my daughter went for a walk with the dog. Then I found her unconscious under a tree,” Yuri Ivanovich answers, shrugging his shoulders.
On his right hand, the doctor discovers a dark spot the size of an apple.
“There is an assumption that she was struck by lightning,” says the doctor.
– — So what now?
The doctor gets out of bed and says:
– We need to take her to the hospital, there may be irreversible consequences.
“Then I’m with you,” says Yuri Ivanovich and puts on his cloak.
– Stay at home, you will visit her tomorrow. She is now unconscious and may spend the whole night in this state.
– But I’m a father!
– — Now you can’t help her.
The next day Karina begins to come to her senses and the nurse
who had been on duty next to her all night, leaves and returns with the doctor. A room with four beds, two of them are empty, an elderly woman lies on one, Karina on the other.
The doctor comes up to Karina and sits on the bed.
– Welcome back! – says the doctor.
– Where I am?
– You girl are in the hospital, I am your attending physician Roman Semyonovich. Do you remember anything?
– — I don’t understand what you mean? – Karina looks at the doctor in surprise.
– — You were brought to us unconscious.
– — I only remember that I was walking with Dick and that’s all.
The doctor on duty shows Karina a dark spot on her arm, in the shoulder area.
– — Apparently, you were struck by lightning yesterday.
Karina also begins to look at her spot on her hand.
– Then why didn’t I die?
– — This phenomenon has not yet been fully studied by scientists, so we cannot confirm anything or, on the contrary, refute it.
– —Are you feeling well?
– — Quite, only my head hurts a little.
“Well, this can be fixed, in our pharmacy they sell magic pills for the head,” the doctor smiles.
– Tell me, when can I go home?
Roman Semyonovich gets out of bed and shakes Karina’s left hand.
– — I think in a couple of hours. Yes, I almost forgot, your father is waiting for you in the corridor, I’ll call him now. “And you get well,” the doctor says with a smile on his face.
At this moment Karina has a vision:
