Quote includes foreshadowing Quote does not include foreshadowing
Suddenly, you see your father. It cannot be. You never have believed in such things. What things?
Moved by curiosity, you want to follow him down the path where you saw him disappear, but at that very moment someone behind you pronounces your name.
You continue walking along the narrow path. The turmoil of the crowds and the movement of the lanterns come into view, yet they appear to be disconnected.
“Oh, don’t worry; we all feel bad after a while and long to come back here. You’ll get used to it.”
“We buried Juan years ago…” “But I just spoke with him a little while ago…”
