The Clairvoyant Gift by Carol Eliassen

Did this piece in a class I finished recently. It starts out with an assignment of a few starting words and then you write the story. Sometimes we all need a boost to get us started in our writing or at least a deadline to finish! Hope you enjoy this short piece. I have more - will post later.

Pat knew for a long time that a clairvoyant gift was a curse to some and a gift to others. Observing some of his peers he could see the mistakes that were made and had devastating results. Pete was one of them who knew better but he was set to save the world and use his gifts. He only created chaos and fear. Pat on the other hand used his gift for the good and kept secret the bad he would “see.”

As Pete’s voice became a high shrill over the group of clairvoyant members that had gathered for their monthly meeting, he prophesied, “the end is near!” Pat immediately jumped up from across the room and literally ran over to calm his childhood friend.

“Pete, we know what you are seeing but right now we need to keep calm and stick to the meeting agenda that is going on tonight,” he gently reminded him.

“But –“

“It’s ok, just not tonight. We can discuss it over coffee tomorrow at my house in the morning, say 10:00 am? You’ll be there, right?”

“Yeah, sure, I guess as he slowly moved to sit down again and regain his composure. “Not sure what came over me but it seems like it is happening more and more.”

“I know my friend. You’ll be okay, he assured him. “Maybe we should go see Dr. Moore next week and find out if he can help you with the new procedure he is testing. He would like you to try it –“

“I don’t think I’m ready for it and I’m not sure or really clear as to why I need it”, he interrupted Pat as though he was longer remembering what just happened.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow and I’ll invite Jack and he can explain it to you. You do remember Jack, Dr. Moore’s assistant?”

“Not really. I’ll be there anyway. Better get back to the meeting Pat. I don’t want to miss the Extra-sensory perception (ESP) coverage Joan is going to start covering in her presentation. See you tomorrow.”

Pat knew what Pete couldn’t remember. His dear friend and clairvoyant buddy had a head injury a few years back and would have random outburst and then not remember why. His gift only made things worse. Yes, it was a gift at one time but now a curse.

An Unfortunate Soul

I closed my eyes, and opened them, but all I could see was darkness. I felt a pain beginning in my toes and spreading upward through my feet, legs, thighs and then it zoomed to the top of my torso, neck, and head. My arms felt like darts shooting flames at the very same time. I clinched my teeth in utter pain and couldn’t comprehend what exactly was happening. Where was I? What happened after I went to bed and fell asleep? Could this be a nightmarish dream, or have I died and gone to …oh no, couldn’t be. There is no Hell. I was so sure of it. I kept thinking I would wake up and it would be just a bad dream. I had heard a street preacher this past week talk about repentance and belief in Jesus, or we would suffer eternal damnation. I had yelled out to him that at least I would be in good company partying away with my friends, who also did not believe. He responded that my friends would not be with me, nor God. I would be alone. All alone. My eyes were open, but I saw no flames, only

Love is Eternal

Love at First Sight The first time I saw your face Time stood still I didn’t know why But it was so, so surreal. I couldn’t speak the words. They came out all jumbled and weird I thought you wouldn’t want to know me Because I came off so bizarrely unreal. You seemed to think it was cute I thought that was something strange You wanted to get to know me I kept thinking you must be deranged. You laughed at my words. That didn’t seem so clearly spoken. I started to sense Our feelings were mutually beholden. My eyes sparkled From your reflection I didn’t want to close my eyes And have you deflected. You grabbed my hand And I didn’t pull away You had that magic touch And I refused to stray. Yesterday seems like a distant memory You’re still here by my side I can’t believe our love has never died. I gained confidence With you by my side You lifted me up And never said goodbye. Others come and go But you remained And your love for me It has never strayed. You gave me hope To believe in tomorro
