[ WP ] Suddenly you can see anybody 's future by touching them . In an effort to improve the world , you walk around the city and try giving people individual advice ...

As soon as I walk out the door they scatter. No one wants to know their future anymore. They think I create it because it is usually depressing and I'm a depressive kind of person. They think their future should be full of lottery wins and promotions. 
 
 Everyone knows there's a war coming. That's not a secret. No one wants to see their loved ones drafted or thrown into slave-like work or blown to bits. I just wish I could tell them so they can take cover! 
 
 I'm just the messenger. 
 
 A lady grabs her child as I make my way down the sidewalk; as if even brushing against a person will make the war more likely. As if I'd tell someone that did n't want to be told what's coming. 
 
 I just keep to myself now, mostly. No one wants to know. They think it protects them. 
 
 It does n't.
