Experience Description

The high school that I attended had a jinx that had lasted for several years in that right around graduation a senior would be killed.

About a week after I graduated, four others and I were having coffee. It was decided that we should go to California. Eric was the only one of the group that I didn't know. When we got out to the car, I had a bad feeling about going but was talked into it. At that time, I had a small argument with Eric about who would sit 'shotgun' (by the door) and I won. The feeling that I had seemed to leave.

When I came to and asked about the others I was told that Eric's folks had taken him to Kansas. This seemed okay with me as I remembered standing in the hallway with Eric and a lady that I had never seen. In the hallway, there was an open door that led to a long hallway with a bright light at the end.

The lady said that Eric was going with her and for me to go through those doors and pointed to the emergency room. After my release from the hospital, I was told the Eric had died in the wreck. My thoughts were, 'No, because I had talked to him and the lady.' Later a friend of mine and I went by Eric's house to express my condolences. When we walked into the house, I noticed a picture of the lady that was with Eric and asked who she was. I was told that she was Eric's grandmother that had died several years ago.
