Mr. James was dying?

Well, shit. I felt like an asshole.

“I’m so sorry.” I didn’t know if I should hug him, or even touch him, so I just stood there.

Mr. James was always so nice to me, unlike Spratlin’s mother who, despite her coming around a little bit lately, wanted to see me banished from Blackwood the moment we met. Mr. James, on the other hand, was so kind and diplomatic. I guess that’s why he was such a good Councilman.

I thought back to the day at the Council. He looked so frail. “How long?”

Spratlin spoke softly. “Maybe a month.”

Damn. Spratlin was about to lose his father and yet, he chose to be out here with me. Now I felt like a double asshole.

“You should turn back. Take the scenic route home.”

“No way. I’m not leaving you out here.”

“I can handle it. This shit is nothing compared to…” I bit my tongue and silently berated myself for being so cold. “Sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize. I know what you meant.”

Spratlin started up the trail. I took just a moment to process the bad news and jogged after him.

“You’ve seemed tense ever since you freaked out in the woods. What’s bothering you?” he asked.

He was hurting. Maybe changing the subject to my experience would help. “Remember when I said I saw a body?”

“Yeah, I remember. You almost zapped me.”

“Sorry,” I mumbled under my breath.

“What did you see?”

I thought back to the image of seeing my dead face. The idea of not knowing when my next death would be my last sent chills down my spine.

I shook it off. “Just some weird shit.” No way could I tell the man who was about to lose his father that his girlfriend hallucinated an image of herself deceased.
