She always wondered if something what wrong with her. Thoughts running through her mind that spoke about other people even people she never met. So she lived in silence with this torment, a gift, wrapped in question marks that she could not open yet was there in front of her. That windy afternoon, grey angry skies chasing after devils to keep us safe she was heading home with her high jacket collar up, covering her face from the leaves being blown around in the fight, but also to avoid looking in the eyes of others that would trigger their thoughts to her like an open book...she's seen and heard enough for today. On the other side of the street a man with his coat over his face as well, rushing and not paying attention to the lights ran out into the street and was impacted by a truck that had the right of way. The impact of the jagged grill on man's body was perfectly lined up with the right momentum that his head severed and went spinning and bouncing while his now broken body flew back and rolled a few times on the ground.
The horn from the truck and the screams had her frozen her in her old leather boots that she likes to wear that she got from her grandfather before he died and she watched as the man's head rolled to a stop by that right boot. She immediately picket up the man's head, and turned his face to hers, his thick wavy hear now a mess sticking on his forehead and a few lines of blood flashed across his face. The fright of making his fatal mistake still showed on his face but he was till alive and she stared at him. She saw that his fright was more than losing his life, he had a daughter he's now leaving behind, still young and innocent. She held his head with her right hand and used her left to fix his hair away from his forehead and picked out a few Autumn leaves off his cheek. "Your time has come David, we needed a new leader for this world and your seed possessed the perfection they sought. Her mom will teach her wisdom and she will meet people who will shape her into the leader she was born to be, her path is already made, so rest now David." With that she leaned in and kissed David on his forehead and his face changed from the frozen fright to understanding what needs to happen. The peace on his face made her smile back at him and she used two fingers and closed his eyelids. She bent down, put his head down on the sidewalk, stood up and continued walking, this time lowering her collar..letting them...in.
