I’ve never got into comic books, but for some reason that’s how my imagination works. I don’t know if everybody is like this or if I just got lucky. In the busy and chaotic downtown that I frequent, I take mental snapshots constantly. This happens especially when my imagination kicks in with some scary and nearly impossible scenarious.
If I’m walking down a sidewalk that is empty, except for a single person walking in my direction, I go to work, unintentionally. Quick, extremely quick flashes of that person walking closer and closer to me pop in my mind. Then just as he passes, he throws me against the side of a building and chokes me. I can’t explain it in words. I go back to reality and cringe. I check my pockets and hope what I just imagined doesn’t become a reality. Sometimes I wish it did though..just to see how accurately I could envision what I think to be implausible situations.
I can see it all. Anything. And I think anyone can if they just focus and try. I see cars and semi’s on the highway cause huge pile-ups, buildings collapsing and this tree in front of me catching on fire. Hell, I can see this whole city on fire with me standing before it. A common one is a large, sudden panic in crowds of people. As I walked through the viewers of the “Bean”, I saw what would happen if a gunshot went off. People running franticly, screaming past me as I walk calmly and smile. I can’t imagine being without it.
