It's a typical Tuesday morning. She gets up and gets ready for work, grabs her purse, her keys and heads out the door. Ooops, its Tuesday, and the garbage man comes today, and the can isn't out at the curb. Normally, this doesn't phase her, and she just cruises on to work. But today, an inner voice told her to go back and get the can out to the curb. Of course, as it is with most logical people, she begins an internal argument about being late for work; but the inner voice wins out and she scoots the can to the curb before climbing in to her car and begins the morning commute.
She drives the same route she's been driving for two years now. It's still winter, so the sun hasn't begun to climb in the sky and everything is still pitch black. All of the streets are familiar to her, as well as the buildings she passes. She approches an intersection and glances off a little to the left. Just over the top of the corner gas station, she sees something different. At first, what registers to the logical mind is a tall building, and it appears as if there's a fire inside, the windows red and glowing, almost pulsing. Adrenaline kicks in as awareness of her surroundings begin to listen for the inevitable sirens. But there's nothing to be heard! As her gets closer, another car speeds up and zooms around hers. Hey buddy, don't you see that tall building's on fi--- wait a minute, there are no four or five story buildings in this area! What the heck???
She continues on her commute, but her mind is still arguing with itself over what she saw. Should she circle back? Make sure there's not a fire? She rolls down her window, assuming if there is one, she should be able to smell smoke... and nothing. The chilly air slaps her face and she wonders if she's been day dreaming on her way to work? By this time, arriving late for work is more than likely inevitable, but if there are people in danger....... She whips into the left turn lane to circle around the block to take another look. And by the time she gets there: nothing. Everything seems in its own place, and nothing untoward is going on. Huh.
As she drives on into work, knowing she's going to be late, she can feel her mind working over what just happened. She doesn't try to think thoughts, just lets the random thoughts float in and out of her consciousness. After parking, she grabs her purse and briskly walks into the building to the time clock to get started on her day. How odd? It's only 5:44 and she has to wait a minute before she can actually clock in. "How did that happen?" she wonders to herself, running the times through her head again. Alarm clock snooze pushed twice, so not up and moving til 4:55am. Makeup. Hair curled. Lunch made. Take out the garbage can. A few extra blocks circled.... damn. *blink*blink* This is unusual.
The woman she works closely with on a day to day basis has a history of having some "sight" -- sometimes auras, sometimes future snippets, but more of her 'talent' is centered on the astrological aspect. (At least, from what's been said and gathered in past conversations.) Trying to put it out of her mind and focus on work, she gets busy and starts the work day. Strangely, its a quiet day. The other woman, who usually chats on and on, is strangely silent. Is this the silent treatment for something? It isn't until looking back that she begins to wonder if the other gal could see or sense something as being different today?
This isn't the first time something strange or unexplainable has happened. And she can't wait to get home and write it down, to share with her friend who will understand, and not think she's gone off the deep end!
What do you think ?
