Imagination

Chapter 4 - Something Weird Is Happening

The 5 of us were still there at Eric's house. Only a couple hours ago that happened. I couldn't believe we did that. I never knew I could bring myself to do such a thing. But, it was an accident, so it's not like I purposely killed this annoying little dweeb. With me saying it that way, it sounds like I would. But, I'm not the killing type! You believe me, right?

The 5 of us sat there talking about it. You know, it helps to talk, so why not? I sat there and listened at the 4 of them talked. I began to remember what happened. It was like I was there again, watching it happen all over again. I must've zoned out or something, because I couldn't hear what they were saying. I couldn't see them. All I could see was that house catching on fire. If only there was something I could do about it. 

Well, maybe there was something I could do. But, the truth is, it probably couldn't happen. It's not like I can rewind time here. I couldn't hear or see my friends anymore. I kept replaying the fire and Jake's head coming off and everything. Each time I felt worse and wish I could do something about it....But who says I can? Nobody, nobody does and nobody will. 

That kept playing itself in my head. I wish I could do something, I kept thinking to myself. If only I could. If only, If only, the woodpecker sighs. I saw that in a book once. It's pretty cool. But, I don't remember the book's name, shame, I tell you, shame. 

Anyways, I was thinking of that non-stop. Seeing it happen repeatedly, all I could hear was my own thoughts. I couldn't see anything but Jake going on fire. 

All of a sudden, my body went numb. I couldn't move, and my mind was still on that same time. I fell to the ground. I don't know what happened, but when I awoke I was in the woods. I was lying on the ground, my friend surrounding me, asking me if I was okay. I must've some how gone back in time. But how is this possible? I don't know, but it must be if it actually happened, you get what I mean?
