INSTINCT WHISPER

 “My name is Peter, I’m 17 years old and I’m a student at college. I’m just a normal guy getting a good education in life, I hang with 3 of my mates John, David and Anthony, John’s a night out kinda guy, David is a guitarist, likes to write his own songs about what goes on in his life. And Anthony he likes to make jokes to make people laugh, me I’m a columnist for the college newsletter, it was my dream to help people, ease their pain anyway I could, no-one new I was the columnist, I kept my identity a secret and in someway I wish I could of done more to help and you know what about a year ago my wish came true something changed about me. Let me tell you what happened. 

“About a year ago I was on my way home from football practice in the rain, the rain was throwing it down and some lightning was striking around, I tried to get home as quick as I could, then all of a sudden a lightning stuck me right in the chest. It felt really painful and I blacked out. At first after that happen I thought I was dead for sure but slowly I began to open my eyes, the rain had stopped. I looked at my chest and there were no cuts, blood on me which was weird, I knew it happened not just because I felt the pain of it but because my clothes were ripped and smoking abit so I got up and ran home. That really freaked me out.

When I got home my mum was worried and saying “where have you been” because she said I was hours late home, I said hours. When I looked at the time it was 9pm. I was thinking then “what”, “how can this be, it was only 6pm as I was walking home.” “Have you been in a fight” my mum shockingly asked!!!. I answered “no” she said “how did this happen then” (pointing at my top), I shockingly replied to my mum “ I was stuck by lightning”!!!. “That’s it young man until you tell me the truth you are grounded that mean not to leave your room unless you are going to have your dinner, go to your school or to the bathroom” my angry mum said. “But my its true” I replied. My mum looks at me with one eye brow up, ok if its true where are the cuts and marks plus if you were struck by lightning you would sure to be dead, “Cheers mum thanks for the vote of confidence and it I was in a fight where are the bruises from it” I replied. She said hey don’t answer me back like that (then she points upstairs to my room).

So I went to my room, threw my football kit on the floor and lied down on my bed and thought to myself “ mum has a point where are the cuts and marks, why aren’t I in hospital or dead for that matter” I thought “weird.”

Later on I went sleep and had what I thought was a dream, it was where I was in my friends bedroom; he was there looking at some pictures whilst sitting on his bed, for some reason I could feel what he was feeling, he felt sad. At first I wasn’t sure if it was me feeling this, then I went over to him, he was looking at some pictures of his girlfriend and him together, and then I knew it was him, for some other reason I could sense what was on his mind, he didn’t feel right in the relationship and he wanted to break-up with her but he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings so he’s not sure what to do. So what I said to him “be truthful to her, she’ll respect you for that, she’ll be hurt but its best to be honest than to live a lie”. Then I just immediately woke up in my room. Wow what a dream, that felt so real, at the time I didn’t know it was real till the next day came.

The next morning I woke up, got dressed and went to college. I did some in lesson, during break I hung around with my group of friends Anthony, David and John only I didn’t see David that day (he’s the friend that was in my dream), I asked Anthony where David was and he said “ don’t tell him I told you this but he’s gone to break up with his girlfriend”. I was surprised at what I heard, I said to Anthony “that’s strange because….(then I went silent because I thought then its best to say nothing because they’d probably think I’m crazy), “because what” Anthony said. “Nothing never mind” I said, Anthony said “ok” (and looked at me strangely). Anthony, john and I hoped that he’ll be alright, I said he will be.
