Have you heard the term Mental-time travel? Did you know that humans' ability to travel mentally sets us apart from other creation? It allows you to remember the old good or bad memories. By recombining the past, it ables you to think of the best decision in your present living. Did you know what makes human more special? We have an open-ended capacity to imagine our future events. Selecting possibilities in your life and picturing your future self. But...
What if this cognitive ability was uncontrollable and someone was not just imagining things? What if the window in his mind has the power to perceive future event before they happen?

"Dad... don't leave, please stay here "I convinced
"Leigh... your Dad needs to come in ”
Don't worry my son I'll bring your favorite toy when I'm home "
That day I couldn't stop Dad. I do not understand what I was seeing in my mind then. Imagination? dream? I have no idea but if what I saw was true something would happen to him.
I get out of the room when I heard Mom cried, talking to some of Dad's co-workers and cops. One of its co-workers came up to me and handed me a ball.
"It's for you" and tap my head.
My mom kept crying while explaining to her about Dad's death. My father was an engineer and he died in a construction site accident. It happened...the fear has already occurred.
His loss gave me light. My ability is not normal and I have to believe in it because what happened is irrevocable. I felt scared not only for myself but for other people but for the time being I gradually got used to it and accepted everything.
" who's ball is this? "
"That's mine! "I quickly took the ball to the girl, rolling it as my hand played.
"Yours?, you're already grown up and you're still playing that?" She laughed
"It's my Dad's gift! Why do you care? "
"I'm sorry I didn't know"
I was going to leave the woman who didn't seem to be here when I suddenly saw what's going to happen to her. Why would she pass through the forest if she's not familiar to the place? It's annoying!
I immediately chased her and guided her on the walk "I will accompany you"
"Hah? " She shockingly ask.
"You will go astray so I will accompany you"
" Excuse me? I've never been lost in my whole life! "
"Why are you alone? " I ask.
"I can do it alone! I'll just look for it- "she showed me a paper with an address.
"Are you laughing? that address of the forest itself... wide inside ”
" Really? Grandpa is tormenting me!! "
I ignored her and kept walking. I seem to know what she is talking about, only an old man lives in the forest. Now I just saw this woman maybe they were just new to our place.
"I already know why you're with me! "I stopped and looked at her, I just raised my eyebrows" by any chance do you like me?
"my forehead knelt. What? I like her? No way.
"I'll be leaving you"
"You didn't try to disagree! It's okay to leave,I don't need you!"she shouted.
I smiled... one... two... three, "AAAAHHHHHH!!! wait... Wait "she shouted as I expect" Something was moving there!"
"I thought you didn't need me? "
She sighed "I made a mistake... join me first please... "
We walked again until we reached a small hut, Mang Carding's home with his dog Achilles.
"Hermione? is that you? "
"Grandpa!!!! "
I was about to leave but Mang Carding first invited me inside his house and prepared a tea.
"It's good that you helped my grand daughter to get here"
"Yeah probably grandpa I'll be missing, Thank you Leigh "
"I'm going home now, because I didn't ask permission to my Mom "
"Mama's boy" she whispered.
"Okay Leigh.. thank you again "
From that day on, Hermione didn't leave me alone. Her house is very close to us and they seem to be capable of life as well. Even in the secondary school I went to, she became a transferee. It's good and I benefit from my ability. Whenever my mind saw us together I immediately hid where the case was not so easy to avoid.
"Leigh!!! "I just close my eyes hearing my name in her noisy voice, I just went straight for a walk until she reached" Hi neighbor! at the same time "
"What else are you doing? "
"You're so mean, do you think I didn't notice?that you're avoiding me? "
"Hah? "
" I'm still far from seeing you running away "
"Are you serious about what you say? I have no reason to avoid you "her face is serious about what I said, maybe she'll leave me alone this time.
"Ok" she said.
I looked around, there were kids playing on the field. My eyes widened... the ball will hit her... with the force of its impact her head will prominent on the wall. I didn't know when this would happen but I immediately pulled Hermione closer to me.
"Hey! what's your problem? you drive me away and now you will suddenly pull me? ”
"Ahmm because... I have no other accompany let's go home together... "I just tap my forehead, Shit! Do I look like a weird one?
Those words knock me. She would have spoken but it stopped because of the students running towards us. We were looking at the direction they were going through. Another woman was hit by a ball. Why is that? I prevented Hermione from getting to the position where she could be hit but someone else was hurt.
Hermione also approached the woman, I saw a facial concern. She knows who that is? I followed them until I got to the clinic.
"Do you know her? "I asked
"She's Hershey... my twin "I was surprised at her response" Maybe she was going to approach me earlier so she was hit... there... hopefully she's okay "
"Twin? But I only saw her now? "
"Compared to me she is different. She was just confined in the house and Mom is keeping her because of her illness. She's the only one who insisted on going to school too and I didn't watch her well"
After all it was my fault. If I didn't stop Hermione,she would see her twin and she would not hit the hard ball too. I'm confused... Did I do something wrong?
That day I was impressed by Hermione's love for her sister. They do not look alike and they make a lot of difference. I also noticed the difference in her Mom's treatment with her compared to her sister, extra care and vigilance. I saw Hermione fight and decide despite her problems. I just found myself listening to everything she was going through.
"Do you know the belief that when you have a twin... one of you is weak? Sometimes I think of that, what if I became weak? painful? Mom's treatment will also be reversed? "She's dripping with tears but it was hard to smile at its lips" Sorry... I'm so immature to think, I should be thankful that I'm not sick "
In the few years I was with Hermione we became close to each other. Even at the university I chose I was with her. If I had ever been disgusted by the noise of her voice, now I would be glad to have her happy. Until I can prove what I really feel about her.
