Being human and being able to go into the future simultaneously had to be the most difficult journey one could ever embark on . What is the point of knowing what is going to happen but not be able to change the future ? Being human comes with a lot of good things, you are the wisest of all animals and the wiser one is always given the hardest tests . This is a story about a boy who could foresee the future , he wasn't special to be specific but he was one of a kind .

Growing up i was always troubled by my big ears , i looked like a dark alien from the galaxy . I had a lot of friends and families including relatives , i had classified the people around me into people in need and people indeed . I was short tempered and kind , i was a normal judicious kid to be precise . Everyday was like a mission in my life , i would wake up and set a goal for my self and before the watershed i would take the goal into submission . All that was to awaken the inner me , i believed that as human beings we are given two lives the day we make our first breath . I was given a life of a normal kid and a life of prophesying. During the day i would be myself , i could do my school work , i would go to church , i could chill with my friends discuss about life and uplift each other emotionally and spiritually . Everything in my life during the day was just so perfect , i was always stress free . There was a time in life where i doubted the existence of God , a time where i would look in the mirror and be ashamed of myself , i would say to myself " you are in the wrong world , hell is where you are supposed to be situated " and a voice in my head would respond " until you find your abode , until you compesate with your ancestors you wont find peace , you will forever cry .
I could see a different me in the mirror, i had a dark cloud over my head calling out to be wiped . In the evening its like i transformed from being myself to being a seer , at first i hated how my mind works during the night , i would dream about funerals of people including people i know , i could see people being killed before they were even killed i would try to save them but i always seemed to fail to even raise a word .Some would die of accidents which i had seen but still they died infront of my eyes . I could dream of a very bad day and cry when it was six and sevens because i had to go and face a diificult day full of troubles which i had dreamt of the day before . People use to refer me to Lucifer , not in the manner that he is the most beautiful angel but as satanic. I would eat myself up in the morning to be told about the passing away of one which i had already dreamt of . I hated being my self , i tried placating myself by saying that i didn't choose to be how i am but my dreams were degenarating to nightmares . I was now dreaming of my mother dying after we had just buried my father , in my dream she had passed away by a gunshot shot by a local lowlife ganster called Sam.
I tested my faith one day and went to the mountain embarking on a 2 months fasting prayer praying to God whom at first i doubted his existence , begging him to give me power to be able to change the future , asking for power to can command a bad thing from not happening , the first week went and i was now loosing balance , my body was now dehadrated , i couldnt even see clearly , i was smelling bad like a bag of garbage. I kept on praying , i cried , cried .......until i lost my voice and a resonant bold voice out of nowhere said "My son! ask for what you wish and it will be done , your prayers have been answered now if you dream of a bad thing and you dont want to happen , you immediately say No!! out loud and you will save a bunch of lives and incarnations from passing out my Angel " and from that day foward i saved a lot of lives , i could stop bad things from happening , my parents death never got to happen the local lowlife thug had gotten arrested during the time when i was in the mountain. I didnt get recognition for what i was doing for the world but i was proud and relieved that i wouldnt live with knowing that a person passed off while i was watching and didn't do anything . I had made death not to be inevitable. And thats my story .
