Experience Description It was a normal day on November 16th. I worked as usual, and my youngest son was dropped off at his grandparents. Around 6:30, I went to pick my son up. It was dark out. I put my son in the car, and we drove the normal route I always take to get home. A few houses down was my mother's friend Lena’s house. I looked at her house and felt something dark coming from it. Then a voice in my head told me to call my mother and ask her if she thought her friend’s son would kill her. But I didn't, because I thought she would think I was nuts. I have had a previous similar experience that I once told her about, and she said nothing; I would just be ignored again. So I told myself I would go see her the next day, but I didn't. I got carried away with my own life. My mother called me two days later to tell me her friend’s son had killed her in her house. He then went to the hospital to kill his wife and afterward tried to kill himself. He was the only one who lived. I was in shock and filled with regret for a few months that I had done nothing. I still feel regret, but I am no longer in shock.
