"Byul-ah, wake up. You're gonna be late!"
I ignored my mom's call for the 3rd time and stared blankly at my ceiling. The scene from yesterday is still at the back of my mind.
I really thought that falling off the train platform was gonna be my death but instead I saw a vision of how I am actually gonna die. It was only for a brief moment but it felt so real just like with the other visions I had in the past. Except this time, I saw myself die in someone's vision.
Was that the reason why I can't see mine? Because it occurs with someone else's death?
And to think that the person who helped me was also the person who's going to be the cause of my death. How ironic.
If I were to prevent our deaths, what should I do and when should I intervene?
Ugh this is another one of the limits of my ability. I can only see limited snippets of the actual death. It doesn't show me exactly how it happens like a step by step manual guide but rather I have to put the images I saw altogether to determine what would happen.
I got up from my bed and started pacing around my room.
Okay, let's try to analyze it one by one.
If I remember correctly, he lost control of the vehicle since he looked frantic while driving. The weather wasn't in good condition that day too, so is it safe to assume that the road was slippery so he wasn't able to maneuver it properly? But he didn't look like he was speeding for him to slip along the road.
Plus, he looked older in that vision but when I met him he looked like he was my age and I'm only in highschool right now, so our death must have happened in the future. But how long is that future from now? I didn't manage to see the numbers above his head because I was too shocked to even think about those things.
As for my self, there wasn't much of a difference apart from clothes that I've never seen before. It's not like I also knew the guy in any way, so it really was just a bad timing kind of thing.
This is confusing the hell out of me. Should I just let it be like how I always do?
I stopped caring about my visions and tried to not use my ability as much as possible after my grandma died. Back then I used to warn people of their deaths even if they think I'm some lunatic because that's the least I can do, right? What's the point of seeing someone else's lifespan or death if I won't do anything about it?
I felt like it was my duty to save them and that it's my fault if I failed to do so. This has caused me huge stress that was too much for a young kid. My grandma used to console me that it was and never will be my fault because I don't have the right to control other people's fate. And it was just so hard to accept that reality especially when I can see her death inching closer day by day.
She never really asked me about it nor did she ask me to prevent it.
'That's the flow of life, Byul-ah. Remember you are not a god. You're human. Death is something that we will all experience and it's not always a bad thing.'
I tried so hard to prevent her death as best as I could but it was futile. Whenever I try to do something that will disrupt death's course, it doesn't do much since it does not eliminate the certainty of it but only postpones it for a while. There are some things that are out of my control.
