Greetings to my dear friends of the read.cash community, today I bring you science fiction.
What would you do if you were a writer that everything you write becomes reality? Well, I will tell you something that happened in the life of a very dear friend.
It happened that one day Richard was having a conversation with his friend Ramon about things in their lives, that's when Ramon told him something personal about his life.
“You know what? Richard, I would like to find my ideal partner. I'm tired of going back and forth and not finding my girl. What do you think?”
Richard looked at him and said... “That's easy, put an ad in the newspaper”. To which they both laughed, they soon closed the subject but continued to talk about other things.
That same night when Richard was about to do one of his narratives for his paper, he thought of writing an imaginary story. He thought about writing a story about his friend Ramon and a girlfriend for him that was just like he had described, his perfect girl, and so he wrote it.
A few weeks later Richard meets his friend Ramon again and after a cordial greeting, Ramon tells him about his recent good news...
“What do you think, Richard? I have found the woman of my dreams! It's been like a crazy story. A few days after I spoke to you on my way out of work I came face to face with this girl, I couldn't take my eyes off her and she couldn't seem to take my eyes off me either and we were accidentally seeing each other three more times or so during the day! We laughed, introduced ourselves, had coffee and kept seeing each other and eventually we realized that we had a lot of affinities. We are now more than just friends.”
Wow, Richard was surprised. This story that Ramón tells brings back memories but he decides to leave it at that.
A few weeks later Richard is about to tell another of his stories to turn in for his paper. He decides to write about his family and how nice it would be to have his family join him at around Christmas. It had been more than 6 months since his job had prevented him from seeing them, it would soon be Christmas and he wanted to see them on that date.
He spent long hours of the night trying to write as much as possible a coherent and credible story so that the whole family would be reunited near the place where he lives.
He thought it was a good story and edited it, took it to work and published it. It was very well received by his followers on the page he wrote at work.
…Two days later he gets a call from his mother. She told him how they had all agreed to spend Christmas in his hometown and gave him details of the crazy way they had decided to do it.
Richard could not contain his astonishment. And he said to himself:
“What's going on? What is happening to my stories… all of them are coming true. First the girl Ramon met… they met up just like how I wrote in my story, without missing a single detail… And now my mother is telling me the whole story I just wrote in my family reunion special.
But it can't be! It can't be that what I'm writing is coming true, it must all be a crazy coincidence! And the other stories, I have no way to check them… But I'll do another story today and then I'll get this paranoid idea I have out of my head.”
That's how Richard has sat in the quiet of his home and decides to write about the kind of pet that he always wanted to have, he had idealized it so much that there was no way it he was ever going to have a furry friend like that, so he edited it and got it ready for publication in the next few days.
The next day he was about to leave when one of his favorite neighbors intercepted him and after greeting him, she asked him a favor.
She has to leave town for a few years, but she has a small problem and that is that she can't find anyone to leave her beloved pet with and then she proceeds to tell him what she is like.
Richard listens dumbfounded to all the details he has just written about his favorite pet. He could no longer hear her, he could only hear his own voice in his mind as he wrote down all the details in the night.
This is how Richard realizes that he has developed a gift he never thought he could!. From now on he would take what he would write more seriously, no more writing mysteries, from now on he would take care of the narrative.
And so it was that Richard wrote stories about flora and fauna throughout his life. So he didn’t have to intervene in stories about people's lives.
Do you think anyone could have this gift of writing? Thanks to my dear readers and sponsors for following my stories.
What a good story and different from those I have read before, a success. It also reminded me of my student days, when I had a test nearby, especially a practical subject, in dreams I solved exercises hahaha, and more than once on the day of the test the teacher placed an exercise just as he had dreamed it.
