What if you could predict someone's life? Trust me, I never thought I'd say that but after today, I don't know what to expect anymore.

I looked around my room. It was a new place, it looked like a hospital. There were people all around me dressed in white. A lady with short blond hair came too me after noticing I had woken up. Our eyes met and thats when the visions started. I saw the lady, like jump cuts of her, she had a family and got divorced. I watched her timeline flood in front of my eyes. I watched her from this moment all the way to the date of her death in seconds. Then I came back to reality. She started talking to me, "How are you feeling?" She asked. I started to sit up. "Where am I?" I asked confused. "You are at the New York State Hospital. Do you know your name?" My name? I think, I don't quite remember anything. "Raven, I think. How did I get here?" This was so confusing. "We found you next to a broken car. You have been out cold for about 3 days now. We didn't  know your name until now. Are you alright? Do you know what happened?" The lady explained. No, I'm not ok. I just saw your life and, trust me, its not pretty. I wanted to explain but I couldn't. I wouldn't make any sense and would probably be in a mental hospital after this. Just then a tall man in plad walked in and I noticed he was her husband from my vision. Or at least, her husband for now. I met his eyes. Another vison started. He was in a strip club. Several girls around him. Then he was home, three of the girls were there too. Then he was sleeping with two of them on each of his sides. I figured that was why they get divorced, right then his "wife" walked into the room. The look on her face was scared. Then it jumped to the divorce. I watched her cry and all the way to the end of his life. I needed to stop making eye contact. The lady kept talking to me but, she was only getting answers from the doctor on the other side of me. I felt invisible. Nobody was explaining anything and I was just here. I pulled the covers down from the hospital bed and turned my legs to dangle from the side of the bed away from the doctor and toward the lady and the creepy husband. I tried to stand. My legs were bandaged and felt like noodles. I fell forward into the lady. She caught me and helped support me. "Where do you need to go Raven?" She asked in a sweet voice. I still didn't even know her name. I pointed to the bathroom and she nodded. She helped me walk there. i sat on the toilet and she asked if she should leave. I shook my head to tell her no. "What's your name?" I asked.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I forgot to mention that. I am Serafina." She said "And out there is my husband Gene." Oh, trust me, he won't be that for long.
"I'm so sorry for you." I told her.
"Excuse me?"
"Gene. My mom has brought him to my house before, she met him at the strip club last weekend. You didn't know he went there?" I explained trying to sound truthful. My mom was dead but I needed to say something to tell her he was bad news. Maybe she will be saved from heartbreak.
"What do you mean? Gene? But he was at work late last weekend. He wouldn't lie to me... I'm going to talk to him. But for now, want some help?" I tried to stand to wash my hands. Serafina placed her arm on my back and supported me. She helped me walk back to the bed and I saw her give Gene a glare of disapproval. She helped me lay down and I told them I was tired so they left and I fell asleep.
