Fantasy

Me and my wife have been married for many years. We are an open book between one another. There have been many trials and tribulations, but there is just one that was hard to accept. It took a long time for my wife to try to understand the special ability I had in life. I have a special power that no one that I have ever met can do. My wife now sees this as a gift from God. I could say that I’m lucky, but I know I’m blessed. I get to have conversations with people that nobody else can have conversations with daily. It is a wonderful thing and can be used for good.

               The other day my wife and I were at a party at a neighbor’s house. Everyone was having a good time. There was a lot of drinking, eating, and socializing. The neighbor’s dogs were barking. I went into my own world. In a matter of minutes my wife touched my shoulder and asked, “It happened”. I smiled and told her, “yes”. She can know when I go into my special power. We have been together that long where she knows my deepest secrets. She is my rock, and without her I would have went insane with this special power. Once the moment was over, we went back to socializing. It is funny that nobody had caught on to my superpower yet. It just happens in the most inconvenient times, but it happens all the time. We had a good time at the party that day and left to go home with no other incidents.

               Tonight, we are going out for dinner and a movie. She is in the bathroom finishing getting ready. I am tending to the dog and getting him ready for us to leave. By the time I was finished she was ready to leave. When she is ready to leave, she is ready quick. We would be driving about an hour away, so we would not have any of my incidents during the drive. It was a peaceful drive and much conversation between us. We pulled into the movie theatre parking area. Got out and went to give the tickets to the door person. We waited in line for drinks and snacks. On the way to our movie entrance my wife assured me that everything would be ok. As we walked into the theatre, we found our seats quickly. The theatre has assigned seating, so we always buy seats that are easy to get to. This is just incased I have an anxiety attack, then I can step out quickly. Watching the movie is peaceful with no interruptions. After the movie we left quickly to get to the vehicle. After leaving the movie theatre we decided to go eat Chinese food. We were in luck because there is a restaurant outside the movie theatre that serves that type of food. We went inside and got a sit. She went to get her food, then I went to get my food. After we ate, we checked out, and left. The ride home was a pretty fast trip. It seems later at night the back roads are not so bad.

               When we got home, I went to take the do outside walking. My wife finished washing some clothes while I was outside. Once I came back inside, we decided to watch a movie. We really couldn’t decide what to watch, but we decided to watch a comedy. Twenty minutes into the show the dog had to go outside again. We paused the movie and I took the dog for a walk. Afterwards I came inside, sat down, and started the movie back. Twenty minutes later the damn dog wanted to go outside again. I got up frustrated for the third time to take the dog out. We came back in and attempted to play the movie again. The dog started barking outside the window, and I was in heaven. I literally was in heaven. I spoke to the gates-keeper and asked to speak to my late grandfather. My grandfather had passed away in 2013, and I frequently go to have conversations with him in heaven. You see this gift I have is every time a dog barks I get to visit heaven. It’s a gift, but an inconvenience at times. I can’t complain because I get to speak to people in heaven when I get triggered. My grandfather and I had a great conversation, but when I wake back up into reality it is quick. When these incidents happen, the time is quick here on Earth, but in heaven time stands still. Seconds on Earth is like hours in heaven. 

               When I came too my wife knew what had happened. She asked me, “Who was it this time”? I told her, “My grandfather”. She said, “It must be nice”. I think she gets jealous sometimes because of my gift, but she is very supportive. We have kept it a secret for almost 10 years now. Basically, we have kept it a secret the whole time we have been together. It took my wife awhile to notice what was going on with me. When I moved in with her was about the time, she started asking questions. She thought I had something mentally wrong with me, but it was my superpower. We have tossed around the idea of helping people reconnect with their deceased loved ones. Basically, the idea was to get a list of questions from loved ones, when it happened to me, then I would ask to speak to their loved ones in heaven. When I came back to, I would deliver those answers to the questions to the people seeking answers. It would be a good cause, but at the same time we could open a business in delivering news to people from heaven. It a genius idea, and there is more to this story to tell. 

When this story goes further in depth it will tell how we manage this newly trip to heaven business. The stories and conversations I have in heaven will be presented to these clients. We will first look into this business as a local business, but a local business that has its privacy. We do not want this type of business to get out to the public. This will be a hush-hush business that only select clients that we know will be get my our service. Until we meet again go with God.
