I have been plagued by premonitions lately. Dark, sinister thoughts have been haunting my mind, warning me of an impending curse. It all started with a series of strange dreams, surreal and disturbing. In these dreams, I witnessed strange symbols and heard eerie whispers that I couldn't comprehend. But it didn't stop at just dreaming. I started noticing unusual occurrences in my daily life.

When is premonition a curse? When glimpses are unfulfilled like a message written and never sent. When understanding falls like beads from a broken string. The walk in knowing is precarious. Peace of mind is elusive, anxiety can leave the seer in constant chant and prayer, searching for objectivity and pleading for Divine oversight. The ‘wys’ or seer becomes reclusive, living humbly and without desire to affect or manipulate. To be disbelieved, ridiculed, and persecuted can be some of the woes of premonition. Society fears what they don’t understand. Often, the seer has just as little insight to the meaning of premonitions, yet is cursed to recognize what others do not. It’s okay. You have a gift to see the extraordinary. Go slow. The Divine won’t charge you with a task unless you are ready for that task.
Even the people around me seemed to be plagued by an air of unease and discomfort. As the days went by, the signs became more apparent. A black cat would cross my path, its eyes filled with an otherworldly glow. The moon would often be obscured by eerie clouds, casting an ominous glow upon the Earth below. I could sense a presence, a dark energy lingering just beyond my reach. But what could have brought about this curse? Was it an act of vengeance by someone I had wronged in the past? Or perhaps it was some ancient force that had been awakened by my actions? I searched for answers, seeking solace in books and consulting with spiritual guides. Yet, the more I delved into the matter, the less clarity I found. The curse seemed to be growing stronger with each passing day. I felt its grip tightening around my very soul, draining me of energy and hope. I could no longer ignore the signs, the undeniable proof that something sinister was happening. It was as if the universe was trying to send me a message - a warning of an imminent catastrophe. But I refuse to succumb to this curse. I refuse to let fear control my life. I will fight back, armed with courage and determination. I will not let myself be consumed by the darkness that threatens to engulf me. Instead, I will face this curse head-on, seeking inner strength and finding a way to break free from its clutches. The journey ahead is treacherous and uncertain, but I will not falter. I will gather every ounce of my willpower to overcome this curse. I will find a way to sever the ties that bind me to this dark prophecy. For within me, lies a resilience that refuses to be broken. So, to the curse that looms over me, I say this - your premonitions may be strong, but my spirit is stronger. I will not let you control my destiny. I will rise above your darkness and emerge victorious. For I am the master of my own fate, and I will not be cursed into submission..
