The Truth In Your Eyes

Prologue:

I see it happen.

Others don’t.

Why am I the only one to see?

This started since I was a child. I kept on seeing people die when I look deep into their eyes. I always knew what will cause their deaths.

7 years ago, mother died of cancer and I saw it 1 month before she died. They never believed me when I told them mother will die of cancer. After 2 weeks, mother was experiencing extreme pain in her abdomen. We had her checked just in case she was just ill of something. Then, she was diagnosed of cervical cancer and had her treatment for only 2 weeks and died because of organ failure. I could have done something for her but I couldn’t stop it. I only saw it before she died.

I can’t stop their deaths.

I only see what will happen.

One day, I looked in my friend’s eye and saw how he will die. In an alley way, he will be shot in his chest and die because no one will be there to help him. I warned him of what will happen but he made fun of me. After 3 days, he died the same way I told him he will die.

This is a stupid curse. My grandfather told me it was a gift to see people die.

“NO! It’s not a gift to see people die! I feel guilty all the time I see them die and I can’t do a stupid thing but tell them! No one believes me!” I argued.

“You see, my child. That is a special gift to see people die. No one in this world has the ability to see that. You’re special in a way no other has that gift. You are special, Mia.” He assured.

It was stupid talking with my grandfather since I can see that he will die in a gruesome way. He insisted on saying it was a gift even if it was not.

After 3 days, he died because he accidentally fell the railway in the metro and was squashed to death by a train. His death was frustrating and my family grieved on what happened to him.
