Episode 1: The Unexpected Vision

The bustling university campus was filled with students hurrying to their classes, chatting with friends, and enjoying the sunny day. Among them was Mary, a diligent and somewhat reserved student. She walked briskly, her backpack slung over one shoulder and her mind preoccupied with the upcoming midterm exams. The day seemed ordinary, but a sense of unease lingered at the back of her mind.

As Mary approached the campus library, she felt a sudden dizziness. Her vision blurred, and the world around her seemed to fade. She stopped in her tracks, clutching her head as a vivid image flashed before her eyes. It was her brother, Max, trapped in a car wreck, bloodied and unconscious. The scene was so real that she could hear the screeching of tires and the shattering of glass.

"Mary? Are you okay?" a voice broke through the vision. It was her friend, Rose, looking concerned.

Mary blinked, and the vision dissipated, leaving her feeling disoriented. "I'm fine, just a bit dizzy," she replied, trying to shake off the lingering sense of dread

"Are you sure? You look pale," Rose insisted.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just need some air," Mary assured her friend. She quickly excused herself and walked away, her mind racing. What was that? she wondered. It felt like déjà vu, but much more intense.

Unable to concentrate on her studies, Mary decided to head home. The image of her brother in that horrific accident haunted her thoughts. She had to warn him. She pulled out her phone and called Max.

"Hey, sis! What's up?" Max's cheerful voice came through the line.

" Max, are you driving right now?" Mary asked urgently.

"Yeah, just heading back from a friend's place. Why?" he replied.

"Listen to me carefully. I don't know how to explain this, but I had this vision—like a déjà vu. I saw you in a car accident. Please be careful," Mary pleaded.

There was a brief silence on the other end before Max spoke again, his tone more serious. "Alright, I'll be extra cautious. Thanks for the heads-up, Mary."

Feeling slightly relieved but still anxious, Mary headed home. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Her heart pounded as she waited for any news from her brother.

Later that evening, Mary's phone rang. It was Max. She answered immediately, her voice trembling.

" Max? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mary. You won't believe what happened. I was driving, and this truck came out of nowhere. If I hadn't been extra cautious, I would've been in a serious accident. Your warning saved me," Max said, his voice filled with gratitude and amazement.

Mary's heart raced with a mix of relief and disbelief. "I'm just glad you're safe," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.

After the call, Mary sat down, her mind racing. How had she seen that accident before it happened? Was it just a coincidence, or did she possess some kind of ability? The thought both intrigued and frightened her. She decided to research more about déjà vu and precognition, hoping to find answers.

Days passed, and Mary couldn't shake off the feeling that her vision was more than just a coincidence. She began experiencing more frequent and intense déjà vu moments, each one seemingly more real than the last. She saw snippets of future events—some mundane, others alarming. She kept a journal, documenting each vision in detail.

One evening, while browsing through her journal, Mary stumbled upon an online forum dedicated to paranormal experiences. She hesitated but eventually decided to join and share her experiences. She posted a detailed account of her visions, hoping to find someone who could relate or offer an explanation.

To her surprise, she received a private message the next day. The sender was someone named Alex, who claimed to have similar experiences and offered to meet her. Skeptical but curious, Mary agreed to meet him at a nearby café.

At the café, Mary nervously sipped her coffee, scanning the room for Alex. A tall, dark-haired man approached her table and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Alex. You must be Mary."

"Yes, that's me. Please, have a seat," Mary replied, gesturing to the chair opposite her.

Alex sat down and wasted no time. "I've read your posts. You're not alone in this. There are others like us who experience these visions. I can help you understand and control them.

"Mary was taken aback by his directness. "How do you know so much about this? And why do you want to help me?"

Alex leaned in, his expression serious. "I've been dealing with these visions for years. I know how overwhelming it can be. There's a lot you need to know, and it's better if I show you. Trust me, Mary, you're not alone in this."

Despite her reservations, Mary felt a strange sense of trust towards Alex. She agreed to let him guide her, hoping to find answers to the mystery of her powers. Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a journey that would change her life forever.

As they left the café, Mary couldn't help but feel a mixture of fear and excitement. Her life had taken an unexpected turn, and she was about to delve into a world she never knew existed. But with Alex by her side, she felt a glimmer of hope. Together, they would uncover the truth about her visions and the dangers that lay ahead.
