Great story. Love your take on Meggie's ability to see things -- and it's always good to see the bad guys get their just desserts!

Thank you Jean! I'm happy you liked it. And yes, it's cathartic to see those characters get their comeuppance.

Great job with this one Jennifer. I believe there are a lot of imposters in terms of people being able to see things, future and past, at the same time though I actually do believe there are a few people who are gifted with that ability. Something I have no way of proving or explaining. - And a just ending for good ol' John.

Thank you Jim.

I'm also very skeptical of people who claim to be seers. I was inspired to write this story after seeing an interview with a man who claimed to be just that. I'm not sure I believe him, but I do believe there are people with such gifts.

And yes, I'm afraid John had it coming.

“It’s not like this place. It’s like looking at the pictures in the Bible. I can see them, but they can’t see me.”

Such a cool take on sight!

Thank you, Leighton! I've watched interviews with people claiming to be seers, and this is similar to how one of them described his visions.
