Everyone loves the first day of school right? New year, new classes, new friends. It's a day full of potential and hope before all the dreary depression of reality shows up to ruin the fun.

I like the first day of school for a different reason though. You see, I have a sort of power. When I look at people, I can...... sense a sort of aura around them. A colored outline based on how long that person has to live. Most people I meet around my age have a solid green hue, which means they have plenty of time left.

A fair amount of them have a yellow-orangish tinge to their auras, which tends to mean a car crash or other tragedy. Anything that takes people "before their time" as they say.

The real fun is when auras venture into the red spectrum. Every now and then I'll see someone who's basically a walking stop light. Those are the ones who get murdered or kill themselves. Its such a rush to see them a know that their time is numbered. That is, unless it's you who's life is coming to a big red stop.
