A plummet. Panic, terror, a crash, surrounded by the darkness, crushed by the stranglehold of the river.
My mind keeps going on beyond the now, to the future. I don't know when it started happening, but as of late this is the thing that keeps crashing into my mind, replacing the oxygen, suffocating in the darkness of the water-- er, no, wait.654Please respect copyright.PENANA6hUkgks3LY
I don't know whether this is for me or not, the last one of these visions I had was of a car barreling down the highway, spinning mine out and injuring the unseen passenger, but I never got in a car accident. Jen did, she got hit by a car barreling down the highway, spinning her out and injuring her mother from a trip home from a convention. Ever since then, I have been worried about her, and this latest vision shocks me deeply, an icy rush hitting my skin all at once, sinking deeper and--
It begins with the fall, I don't know what precedes it, I don't know if its Jen again or anyone else, but it keeps rushing into my mind like a river bursting over its banks whenever I'm not thinking of anything else. I can't escape it, I get pulled under, a cold panic that drains the life from--
I had to approach Jen about this, I wanted to make sure she stayed safe because she was a friend for me when I needed one, I want to make sure she's doing okay.
"Are you doing alright, Jen?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, you know how you're always helping me through panic attacks?"
"Yes?"
"Well, did I ever tell you why I'm having them?"
"I just thought it was because of anxiety."
"Well, I've been having these visions, these flash forwards of the future, and the last one was of your car crash last month."
"What? How long have you had that one?"
"Like 3 months, I'm not joking, but the newest one I have been having is of someone falling into a river and drowning, and I'm just worried that--"
"Ash, what the heck are you trying to assert?"
"Nothing, Jen, it's just--"
"Ash, please just hang up and get some rest, you're not making sense."
"But I--!"
She hung up. I closed the screen on my cell phone, the crash against the keypad sending a wave up and over me, taking my air away--
I sighed, and went for a late night walk. Why won't she understand that I'm trying to help? This power has done more harm than good, it's driving me mad. I stared at the river for a moment, thinking about what had just transpired, that my only friend didn't trust me, and closed my eyes, and took a step. A plummet, panic, terror, a crash, surrounded by the darkness, crushed by the stranglehold of the river, and in that moment I discovered who I should have been trying to save all along.
