If Hindsight’s 20/20, Foresight’s MUCH Worse.

What do we do? What do I do?

The thought kept ringing in Edna’s head. She had to sit down and do some serious planning and plotting. The POW wow she’d had with her sisters had left her eyes wide open and staring right at problem at hand. She’d had no idea just how dire their situation was and she had no idea what to do next.

Preston Williams was becoming a bigger threat than she’d initially thought and she still didn’t know what his endgame was. Why was he so determined to buy their ancestral home from them? Why was he so focused on antagonising them all? Smart people didn’t usually take on the Hestons just for the fun of it. She shook her head. What was she missing?

Edna closed her eyes and let her subconscious rise to the forefront. Her gift of prescience was a strong one, one of the strongest the clan had ever seen and she’d practiced long and hard to perfect her control over it. She willed herself to calm down and focus. She let herself travel through the layers of time and distance and tried to see what the future held for her and her family.

She pictured the room where she had seen Preston and Burt discussing earlier and willed her astral self to eavesdrop on their meeting. Hovering near the ceiling, she saw the two of them talking in the same room. She couldn’t help the slight softening on her insides when she saw Burt. He was really cute. She couldn’t understand how he could bear to work for a slimy fellow like Preston but apart from that singular lapse in judgement, he struck her as being a good guy.

Pay attention here, Edna, she told herself sternly.

Focusing closer on the scene in front of her, it appeared that the two men were arguing. Preston seemed to be giving Burt instructions to so something and Burt didn’t appear to be going along with it. Seeing that Preston so angry and agitated made her grin fiercely.

Good.

It perked her up to see that he definitely had some bad days coming up in his immediate future and Edna could only hope she’d have some way to make it worse. She noticed Burt looking up at her again as if he could see her (What was up with that?) then he turned, said something sharply to his boss and left the room.

She hovered there for a few minutes then saw one of Preston’s other employees, Lester entering the room.

“Lester,” Preston said without preamble, “I’ve had enough of this Heston witch,” he spat.

Goodie, I did have something to do with it, Edna gloated silently. At least that’s something to look forward too. I wish I could tape this for the girls to share.

His next words wiped the smile off her face and sent a chord of fear thrilling through her insides.

“This has gone on long enough. I am going to put an end to this insanity and make a statement for the whole of Silverline City to see.
