"NO!!! I shouted."
Why?
Because just now I saw someone die.
Wanna know who that person is?
My bff, yes she was best friend.
The one I was laughing and chatting with just a while ago.
I just can't believe she just died right in front of my eyes.
Do you know what's the most unfortunate and shocking thing is?
I knew she was gonna die.
How? Because I saw a number above her head.
'0', it's a zero.
What did it mean? It must be the question you are thinking right now.
It meant that it was her last day.
Last day means it was the day she waa gonna die.
Her last day of life, the end of her life.
How I knew that?
Because I have a power. I can see numbers above their heads which vary every day. But they weren't just numbers. They actually indicated how many days are left in someone's life.
How is that possible? How can I have such a power?
Just a few days ago I was asking the same question to myself.
Let me tell you how it all started.
I was just an ordinary girl like any other girl.
Until one day...
I woke up startled as I had a dream. A really strange dream. In my dream an old man wearing strange clothes told me something which I couldn't understand.
" After tonight you won't be a simple girl. You won't be leaving an ordinary life." He said with an emotionless face.
Just then he raised his right hand upwards and started chanting some mantras again which I'm unaware of.
Right after he finished a light passed through me.
I gasped as I felt something all over my body. I felt as if something ran all over my body, something strange.
Just then I woke up. I was sweating profusely and looked here and there. Then I realised that it was just a dream which felt very real.
I thought I shouldn't think about a dream so much. So I freshened up and got ready to to go to college.
But then I saw something . I saw a number above my mother's head. I thought maybe I was imagining things and didn't pay much attention. I told her bye and left for college.
When I reached there I was more than confused to see numbers above everyone's head present there.
I saw many numbers above many people's head.
Some had two digit numbers, some had 3 digit numbers, some had 2, some had 1 and some had even 0.
I actually found it strange at first.
I don't know why but I remembered that dream, that strange dream of mine.
I awoke a confusing power...
I could see a number over everyone's head.
It was so weird!
The number differed. And it changed at every moment.
What did it mean?
Their deposit? The lies they had told? The days they left? Or...
Then I thought maybe I was overthinking. It might not mean anything.
I shrugged away any unwanted thought coming to my mind.
Days started paasing by..
And something happened. People died.
You might be thinking people die. What's so new about it?
You know what the shocking thing is?
The shocking thing was the people which I saw having 1 number above their head the day before all died next day.
At first I thought in might just be a coincidence.
I calmed myself down and decided not to think about it anymore.
But it's only now after I saw my bff die I understood what it really meant.
I gasped and covered my mouth in horror.
It was just yesterday I saw 1 above her head and today she is dead.
I'm feeling like a useless person now who knew everything but couldn't do anything.
Then I thought it's destiny who no one can change.
I attended my bff's funeral.
I couldn't stop my tears but still had to as life never stops for anyone.
I too started to move on and focused on my studies.
Days passed by....
One month later.
I still see numbers above people's head but now I don't feel awkward or anything.
I now just think that everyone has to die one day.
It was moday...
I was drying my hair while looking at the mirror.
That's when I saw something.
'0'
I saw a '0' above my head.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
