A Glimpse of Future
Once upon a time in the city of Brisbane, Australia, lived a man named Oliver. As a child, Oliver was different from others; he saw things nobody else could. Growing up, he realized he was blessed with the unique ability to catch glimpses of the future - it was a gift, but at times it also felt like a curse.
One day Oliver saw a blurry vision, a woman standing on the edge of a bridge, her face covered in tears, standing over the swirling dark river. This vision left Oliver perturbed. Suddenly the pattern of his visions changed; they kept leading him to the same woman. Seeing this woman again and again was an agony he couldn't comprehend as he never met her in real life.
The woman was beautiful, her delicate features are etched impeccably in his memory - long, silky straight hair, almond-shaped eyes filled with sorrow. He became obsessed with the idea of finding her; even though they had never met, he felt a strange sense of attachment towards her.
Oliver started a daunting search for the mysterious woman. Using his visions as the guide, he visited several places, asked people, showed sketches of the woman he made but nothing led him closer to her.
Days turned into weeks but the woman was nowhere to be found. With doubts about his ability and despair overwhelming him, Oliver was exhausted. On a rainy afternoon, Oliver was about to give up when he had another vision - the most vivid one yet. The woman was not alone; standing beside her was a little boy clutching her hand. There was a joyous sparkle in her eyes that he had never seen before.
This ignited a fresh spark of hope in Oliver. This piece fit perfectly in the puzzle he was trying to solve. He launched his search with renewed energy, hoping to prevent the tragic future he had foreseen. The fear for the woman's safety urged him to move faster.
In his relentless search, Oliver finally found himself in a quaint little suburbs of Brisbane exhausted but hopeful. There he found her, the woman from his visions, the one he had been searching for. Her melancholic eyes looked at him in bewilderment, she was alive and safe. Time stopped, and the world around him faded into nothingness.
He explained to her about his abilities as she listened wide-eyed. At first, she dismissed him as a lunatic, but the detailed descriptions of her life that she had never shared with anyone made her believe him. She slowly started narrating her life to Oliver, sharing her sorrow and the pressure she was feeling.
Oliver assured her that she wasn't alone, that he was there to help. They decided to fight this fear together, to change the future that pointed at her tragic end. The bond they formed after this meeting was something neither of them could explain.
Over the years, they worked together to prevent the accident that Oliver saw in his visions and slowly but surely, the visions changed. No longer did he see the women teetering on the brink, but instead she was laughing, surrounded by the love of her son and him. This was the woman Oliver had fallen in love with.
Their story is a living proof of the power of love, determination, and belief. A perfect example of how destiny can be shaped and molded if one has the will and courage to change it. It was a tale of a man who, driven by love and fear of a tragic future, managed to avert a catastrophe merely by the strength of his will.
Oliver never really understood why he was given this power but when he saved the woman, he realized that his ability was not just a power, it was a responsibility. He was chosen, and he had wielded his power, not just for himself, but for the love and life of a stranger too.
