Do I Have An Extra Sensory Perception..?!
68This is my 1st attempt in writing an english story. I hope you'll have some fun. Please let me know your opinions. Write comments. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My parents laughed at me when I told them a story about my dream. "Believe me guys, I'm not joking," I shouted because I could barely think above the loud noise created by their laughter. Unfortunately, I was not able to make my mom and dad take my dream seriously because they think I am just pulling a prank.
One day I decided to take my girlfriend out for a day at the beach so I could explain to her about what happened.
"You know I am way too honest to lie about a dream like this," I pleaded with her to understand. "I can't just ignore this dream and pretend like it was an ordinary occurrence. I had no idea of ESP few months ago, but then I learned about it when I saw a movie in which the hero had ESP.
However, I still wonder whether ESP came to me by chance or if it is net result of the impressions that movie left in my mind." At this point I was exhausted from my explanation and I began to stare at the tide coming in and going back out towards the ocean.
"Ok, my dear. What is an ESP?" my girlfriend asked with a sigh while we were sitting by beach. I had to explain it to her in Wikipedia words. (Read more - ESP Here)
Also, I explained to my girlfriend that a psychiatrist had confirmed I did have ESP. My girlfriend is my number one supporter, so after much skepticism she gave me a hug and told me she would try to buy my explanation about the weird dream.
Later that day I am sitting drinking tea and trying to explain the ESP episode. My psychiatrist friend is already in the loop, but I just asked my other friends what they thought about this entire scenario. I told them in my dream I saw the neighbor kid falling from the top of the building and that I was scared. I was too afraid to talk about it because it will only be a nightmare in others' view. I was sure it was not a dream, but ESP warning me to a horrible event.
I never remember my dreams, they just leave some impressions in my mind like mist on mirror. Otherwise, I could never narrate a dream fully like narrating a movie scene by scene. So, I was in dilemma, but not for long time. It turned out the neighbor kid threw a cardboard image of himself off the top of the building as a prank, so part of my dream did come true.
However I started to worry more and more about having ESP. Is it good or bad? Is it an advantage or drawback to me?
Then my psychiatrist friend said if I feel something through ESP I could not stop it from happening. In other words, ESP is only a preview of future events and we have no control over these. It is not like a dream, that's all I was told.
Now, I had another such an ESP feeling this early morning. I'm sitting alone and recalling it as I read the morning paper. This time the ESP episode was short, just like usual vague dreams I have in my sleep. My face appears has the color of blood all over it and I'm screaming in pain and anger - which is what I felt via ESP.
I'm biting my nails in fear, the most annoying point thing is I ended up getting in a car accident on the same day I had the ESP episode. So, it makes me feel sick and worried. It's already a fine evening...except now I have to go to my girlfriend's house and now it is late.
I'm still knocking and there is no response!!! What is going on? I couldn't make a positive guess because of my fear filled thoughts, so I push the door with full force only to realise it is already kept opened.
"Hey, are you there?" I'm running inside and shouting on. I hear nothing but some weird noises. Well, it is something mixed up with usual TV sound. It is something like things rolling on the floor. Is she trying something odd in the kitchen?? I ask myself.
My heartbeat is increasing, I'm shivering. Oh my...why I'm becoming so uneasy?! Calm down, it will be alright... or I try to convince myself everything will be okay. I have reached the first floor and suddenly, something falls on my face and I feel it's wet and messy.
"Oh S@#t..!! What the hell are you doing?" I wipe my eyes and luckily there's a mirror to see what is on my face. Oh, I got it - It's the same red, scary thing I felt in ESP. It's not blood, and it's nothing harmful actually.
What is it? I'm licking it as it comes down to my tongue. Oh, this is smashed tomato. The bowl that had this tomato smash is still rolling on the floor. Though it has just hit my head and gave me a messy facial, I'm feeling easy and relaxed as I got the answer to my ESP question!!
"...I'm sorry dear, please don't be angry..." I hear her voice coming the upstairs.
I begin to wonder where she is and I am climbing the stairs to see where the voice is coming from. I couldn't stop laughing, LOL she is hanging on the window and holding the window bars like a spider on walls.
"Hey honey, what's up? Come down" I told her still laughing at her.
"You know, my villain has come.." she replies with still shivering.
She jumps down and comes to me.... "What?" I asked. "Yes dear, see there" I'm looking at the wall where she is pointing to a tiny cockroach.
So, my dear reader.....have you ever heard of Indian women afraid of cockroaches and lizards??
I hug her with a sigh and smile, the rest is censored. Have a nice day!

div the story was going great till it get to the last part.something wrong there.a bit rushy rushy. it should have a nice landing but it felt like it was pulled away suddenly. really honest opinion since you asked for it. no hard feelings k. other than the ending the rest of the story was fine.
Good job with your story weblog :).
Thank you Ashwin, I'm glad to know your opinion.
Thank you SweetiePie.

SweetiePie, Thanks for visiting again. Yes, I'm waiting for more people to read it within hubpages and from outside.
Well I blogged about your story, so maybe this will bring a few more people :).
Nice Hub.
Thanks guidebaba.
Sweetiepie, may I know where did you blog about it..?
I have experienced dreams that actually came true. some people may have stronger ESP.
Thank you Morrison, nice to know.

Yes, I will.
Hey, your score is up to 80! Excellent. Maybe it is time to write a sequel :).
Yes, thanks. I'm thinking of the same :)
An interesting and amusing read. keep up the good work and write more hubs.

You have done justice to the story by making a happy ending otherwise writers enjoy making it a sad tale. Congrats for such a nice piece of work.
Thank you Prem. Having your comment is pleasing!
Hi,
I like your picture of MBBS, i saw that pitch 15 time becuse for your acting and you look too good in the saree
Very nice
Thank you Shinu.
Thanks for this story, perhaps ESP is more like receiving an omen that is a hint that something may be about to take place.
Bob, Thank you for the visit and comment.
weblog, Im sure with your ESP, you knew i would be pooping by to say!
Great hub!:)
Lol, wish I had the ESP power. Thank you compu-smart for stopping by!
Thank you for putting so much work into your blog. I like your story. I li9ker your picture. I like your country. I like your friend.
I, as a pychologist in America, would have a different cultural intepretation for your dream, and your esp is not a bad thing.
Your dream is a reflection of something that is happening in your life. I don't know you well enough to say yet. But from my point of view, dreams are not predictive and have no powers to do anything( begging the psychiatrit's pardon). They may cause some fear.
Are you feeling pressure to be married? Is red ther color of a wedding dress? you want kids but not now? Yoiu may be fearful of losing your identity in someone else if you marry, causing blind rage and fear to fill you and your dreams?
Like I said a little more information would help. Let me know.I do figure out dreams and nightmares so that the harmful energy may not be directed back to you. I like your blogs, innocent yet exploring some sexual rebellion--Your blog is great. I will watch for more.

I still enjoy reading your story and hope you shall publish a new one soon.
Thanks Sweetie, I will do that soon :)

Great story weblog. Amusing and interesting...well done. I look forward to reading more.
regards Zsuzsy
My pleasure Zsuszy. Thanks for the comment.
Nice job, weblog. Thanks for posting it so I could find it. Thanks!
Thank you, Christoph. Hubbers like you make me feel good with comments, Thanks :)
hmmm, I have also experienced events that would only seem attributable to esp....but as the events were all of no consequence I pay little attention.
please expand:
How did your psychiatrist corrobarate your esp?
why have a shrink in the first place?
how did you manage to drop a tomato on your face hard enough to break it?
If it is a fiction story, you should correct as none of those aspects are believable.
i could barely tell that english was not your first language, so GREAT job in that regards!

Sunforged, the tomato was already smashed(even before hitting face). I think I don't have answers for other questions. I will try to find out.Being this is my first attempt of story writing, naturally there can be some mistakes.
Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks Sweetie Pie for making this Hub Better..
Thank you Murali. She's really sweet.
weblog, looks like a great "first try" to me. You keep the reader engaged - wanting to know how the story ends - that's a biggie!
Thanks Dineane, I'm really glad to have comments from many great hubbers like you.
weblog - If this is your first story - well done indeed. It is quite charming and engaging.
My only small comment is to say that your timeline appears a liitle out of sync as per this para re "I'm biting my nails in fear, the most annoying point thing is I ended up getting in a car accident on the same day I had the ESP episode. So, it makes me feel sick and worried. It's already a fine evening...except now I have to go to my girlfriend's house and now it is late." if you see what I mean...the story is jumping around a little here....Plus I offer a small piece of advice - when I have written something I always read it aloud. You are then able to see what words are missing or do not sound quite right....I was advised to do this many years ago by a fellow writer and have found it most helpful more than once...... good story. thanks.
Thanks Ajcor, I will see what I can do for that.
Weblog- It is a good story. I guess you can have sequel to this story. Btw is it just a story or you really have ESP? Please continue writing great stories like this. I am sure you are a good writer and I just don't know why you feel otherwise. I myself by no means can be classified as a writer but when we write from the heart then the content matters more than the form (of course do a spell check). Hope to see more original works like this.
Thank you, actually it looks great because of SweetiePie helped in rewriting some parts of the story and I thankfully have mentioned her name.
Oh yeah, it's 100% a story that came in my own imagination. I don't believe in ESP or any paranormal experiences. I may be wrong about that, but it doesn't happen to me.
SweetiePie- Is really a sweetiepie as her name suggests. She is very supportive and encouraging of new hubbers. Just keep writing and have a draft then you can work on editing it later. Also if you need ideas their are many requests too which can be answered. I am looking forward to more such works of art from you.
Thank you again for your kind support, now I have come to the conclusion that I should write more instead of simply worrying about my english, and actually more concentration on writing and reading can help a lot in improving my english.
Great strategy to have twists in the true meaning of the ESP interpretations. That gives your story a strong narrative.
Thank you Teresa McGurk, for your valuable comment.
