Synopsis of Story
The city of London is calm, yet the dark windy weather of
December bought more than just the cold wind into Sarah’s
life, the shy, eighteen year old teenager who never had the
confidence to speak up. Frightened of her future, she sat in her
the office of the confident, intelligent and successful
psychiatrist Dr. Sanam Ahmad, hoping for the doctor to bring
some light in to her life.
Sarah’s unusual visions of the future led her to meeting the
psychiatrist. The horrified girl has flash forward visions which
she sees as dreams. Each night her ‘dream’ reveals her to this
blurred image of people and places which eventually come true
and she realises that those dreams are no longer dreams but
visions of the future tense. After having these unusual visions
for a sustained period of time, the visions start to become more
sinister and take over her life as she is scared to death when
she sees that she is killing an unknown man. With fear and
confusion, she visits the psychiatrist, Dr. Sanam Ahmad where
she complains about her last horrifying vision, where she sees
herself brutally murdering a man.
Her meeting with the psychiatrist allows her to discover the
cause of these visions, which is her childhood! Her past causes
problems for her future. The psychiatrist makes Sarah go in to
her past, back to when she was a little girl living with her father.
Her father who was a failing scientist wanted to discover
something so exciting that would lead him to be the most
known scientist of all time. His passions for his work lead him to

2. work day and night, which made him move all his scientific
work at home. His day to day experiments, made him unaware
of his daughter that longed for his attention and love. Sarah’s
mother had died so her only hope was her father, but his
neglections of his daughter lead her to an isolated social life.
She lived her life with herself; her father put his work above his
daughter. Because of this Sarah had no friends, no mother, no
sister not even a father that she could talk to.
Sarah then comes out of her past and runs out of the
psychiatrist’s office. Scared and frightened of what she had
seen in the past, she ignores the psychiatrist and tries to avoid
her. However, the psychiatrist takes deep interest in Sarah’s
problem and wants to help her, not as a doctor but as a friend
but because of Sarah’s lack of socialising she is unable to treat
the psychiatrist as a friend, and still avoid her.
The psychiatrist does not give up and talks Sarah through her
problems. She explains to her that she needs to fight her fears
in order to get out of this problem. Sarah ends up listening to
the psychiatrist and goes back in to her childhood, to deal with
what she sees. Dr. Sanam uses many techniques such as
hypnotism to help get Sarah’s mind back into her childhood and
fight her fear of loneliness. As time goes by the psychiatrist
tries to bring happiness in Sarah’s life. However, unknowingly
she brings more grief into Sarah’s life as she persuades her to
wait for her vision to come true and whatever happens she
must deal with and fight till the end. The time of when her
vision does come true, the psychiatrist’s techniques fail and
Sarah ends up killing the man in her vision but shockingly finds

3. out that the faded man in her visions is no one else but her
farther whom she was neglected by.
