"I'll go pack," aunt April says, adding as she heads out the kitchen that there's a hotel up the street...
"No!" I blurt out, knowing that there's going to be a blackout tonight.
"Its okay, sweetie," she assures me. "I'll still be..."
I know what I should say... warn aunt April of the impending power failure, but... But there's something else, something more, lurking just past that. Mom tells aunt April about my being able to see some events - important things - in the future. I test aunt April by hitting her weakest point. '...and that means I don't have a steady income.' Aunt April leaves. I fall ill. "No!" I repeate, hoping in vain nothing's written in stone. Turning to face mom, "Please? Can't aunt April stay here?" my face pleading, imploring.
"Oh all right," mom says.
"Yay!" I exclaim, hopping down from my chair for a hug. I don't want things to go that other way.
