It was a nagging feeling.
and it started as i stood shuffling towards my seat with my bag.
as i sat down, i could feel everyone's eyes on me.
An outcast I was.
it felt like i was a bad omen.
even though they looked at me furtively, i could sense their unease. hell, i could feel it myself.
I sat there for awhile, watching the people fill into their assigned seats old men with suitcases, kids screaming, it was all a mess of life
as i observed them, i could sense the shivers that ran through them as they saw me. it was unearthly,they couldn't sense any danger in me, but their souls knew different. as they moved away from me ,
i closed my eyes to try to find that emotion which triggered the curse and i felt myself sweating. This was not the first and probably not the last. It always happened when i was about to get that vision
and i was right, within seconds i opened my eyes
i was in the same place
but the passengers were sleeping and the windows were dark, some of them shut tight.. as i wondered what i was in for, i felt it before i saw it
a blinding bright light, followed by burning heat
it didn't take long, it happened in seconds
some of the people were sleeping peacefully. probably dreaming of meeting their loved ones when they get off. Some of them were shocked and rooted to the spot, unable to move or make a sound as the final seconds ticked by, everything slowed down and i could see clearly. the fire entered the compartment majestically but with haste
It looked unearthly and demonic. as i gazed at it with awe and fear, i knew it was over for me or for anyone on this plane. it was over.
i awoke with a start.
it took me some seconds to find my bearings.
everything was as i left it, i have seen it all in a matter of 3 to 5 seconds. there were about 10 minutes left before the doors locked us in.
i did not waste my time as i knew i was alone in this world and i will be. my head felt heavy as i grabbed my bags to exit the plane
as i walked unsteadily towards the exit i looked around sadly
and i saw a plump women trying to shush a small boy of about 3, assuring him that everything was going to be alright. i felt my knees buckle as i saw that she had 2 toddlers too.
my eyes stung and i steadied myself.
Soon i was out in the open air then back in the waiting lobby.
I knew what i did was right, it wasn't my right to play with other peoples destiny. Fate, it is something divine.
and it will act upon its victims without permission or warning.
