Landon Carter was driving home from work. He had just performed a
successful operation, and couldn't wait until he got home. He was a bit
distracted, so he didn't see the young woman crossing the street until she
stopped and signaled for him to do the same.
"Yo, what the heck are you doing?" he screamed as he got out of the
car, "I could've killed you!" The woman just stood there and said nothing.
Landon used that silence to look over who he was screaming at. At first,
something seemed familiar about her, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Then, to his horror, he realized who he was staring at: Jamie. Yes, it was
her, the hair, the expression, everything about this woman was seen by him
on his late wife. He sighed, and tried to start over.
"Hey, sorry for yelling at you like that. My name is-"
"I know who you are," the woman replied. "You are Landon Carter. You
are a successful heart surgeon who appears to have everything you ever
wanted, but still is missing something. Or perhaps someone?" This was too
weird for Landon. How did this woman know about Jamie, the fact that she
was practically a mirror image of her set aside? How did she know?
"Mr. Carter?" the woman asked, "Is something the matter?" Realization
hit Landon that he had been absently staring for about 5 minutes.
"Huh, what?" he said, still absently, "Oh, no, everything's fine. But
how did you know all that?"
"Know all what?" she asked, puzzled.
"About." he sighed, "about me, and Jamie?"
"I know a lot about you and Jamie, Landon," she simply said.
"Well, I'd like to know a little about you, if you don't mind. Tell
me your name."
"You can call me Faith."
"Okay, now tell me: how do you know what you know?"
"Do you have time?"
"Yes. Tell me."
"You won't believe me."
"Try me. Now tell me!"
"Okay. I'm an angel." The next thing Faith heard was a thud. Landon
had fainted.
