When the darkness cleared for the second time, I was in my Dad’s car, which was presumably speeding towards a hospital. It took the whole day for the many different kinds of tests to be performed. The results, which a very puzzled doctor told my Dad, were baffling. There was nothing wrong with me that could cause me to pass out. Of course I knew the reason I blacked out but how in the world could I explain my so called power to a doctor? The old woman's words came back to me again and again...About how my powers would grow and eventually drive me crazy...Or make me slip into some sort of coma...701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqLaxTYuXT

I was dead tired that evening, my head feeling like it would explode. For no other reason than to calm myself, I took a walk to the park.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZbPvRrCMs

The untended trees and bushes rustled in the wind. Flowers bloomed here and there, scenting the air. I tripped on soda cans and paper plates god knows how many times before finally sitting down on a dusty old bench. I closed my eyes and took several deep breaths. Slowly, my headache started to subside.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImXeOOJ218

I jumped on hearing the voice, wondering who on earth had wandered into the deserted park. Inspector Vikram was already apologizing for startling me by the time I greeted him. He looked odd in his casual clothes.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MlwkC5Br0

“Are you talking a walk too?” I asked. He shook his head. I thought he looked rather miserable.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3PPcVOlDp
He sat beside me without answering the question. Twice he looked at me as if he wanted to tell me something but didn’t.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdIWp9j0qh

“Do you know what day today is?” He asked me finally. “Did Tony…”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoK0j7o3y7

I twitched uneasily in my seat, realizing what he was talking about. Clara…The name sent a chill down my spine.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV1Y4WS03U

“He was my best friend. He could have told me…” The Inspector said rather wistfully. “He…”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh87OnP880H
I didn’t need any special power to read the sadness in his eyes. What could I say to him? I thought for a while, trying hard to find something comforting. Nothing. Everything I came up in my head sounded so hollow and useless.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10XafJhpV

“This same day, many years ago…He married a wretched thief’s daughter the day he was supposed to marry my sister. I…I haven’t…” He paused, wiping the tears from his eyes. “Ask your father about it, won’t you? Ask him about the abominable way he broke a poor girl’s heart.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFGj5esoXM

I tried to speak but he cut me off. “She ran away from home that day. I haven’t seen her for 18 years.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk88AhhBgLC
