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...772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzPEbbfV6r

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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt1fXwPXfO

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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBxIHc0YxQ

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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk1eNUPTvH

“Are you talking a walk too?” I asked. He shook his head. I thought he looked rather miserable.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xf1HnarpF
He sat beside me without answering the question. Twice he looked at me as if he wanted to tell me something but didn’t.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3bvRnB4K0

“Do you know what day today is?” He asked me finally. “Did Tony…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U5jy1TaNR

I twitched uneasily in my seat, realizing what he was talking about. Clara…The name sent a chill down my spine.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1frqJxUAx

“He was my best friend. He could have told me…” The Inspector said rather wistfully. “He…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fDTaJSHT
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTZEa4FSLm

“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.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuupIXgHZj8

I tried to speak but he cut me off. “She ran away from home that day. I haven’t seen her for 18 years.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0wrqUrkv
