¤Episode 17.
I mysteriously saw myself under a tree planted at the roadside and I became extremely surprised.i looked around and I picture that I am not the only one that felt that way.
“what just happened?”
I heard from the car though I don’t seem to know who the person is but I could picture from the voice that it’s a she and the person was

Surprised just like me. The car is still at the spot where I stood before.
“how can a car which was moving in a fast rate suddenly stop and I suddenly find my self under a tree when I was standing close to the car few seconds ago?”I asked aloud in a high pitch of voice while standing with my Books hold famely to my chest.
“wisdom please wait for me”
I heard from my side at the direction of the car and I took a quick glance at the side and I saw Vincent trying to come out from the gutter where he dived into. I quickly took to my heel running as fast as my legs could carry me. I don’t even know why I am running or who am running from,i was just moving and running at a fast rate with Just one objective in my mind “to leave that area with immediate effect”.i could hear Vincent calling to me but I did not even turn back or take a glance at him as I ran with my might, legs and mind,running skeptically from the mysterious area .

“welcome my eyes”she replied with a bright Smile on her face.
“why are you sweating like this?”she asked staring at me as she sat down breaking the melon seeds in her hands.
