He jumped out of his sleep, sweating and gasping heavily. He rubbed his eyes to become fully awake. Which kind of nightmare had risen him out of his sleep?
He tried to remember, but nothing was left of the dream.
When the explosion of the radioactive tumor burned him to death hours later, Carson Beckett saw a pale woman, looking beautiful but cruel, in the blinding light.
In this moment he remembered the old fairy tales and legends of his childhood. Now he understood and knew, what he had dreamed of.
The cry of the Banshee had foretold his death.
