Snippet #1262603

October was sipping coffee at a Starbucks in San Fransisco. He sat looking deep in thought as people passed by him. It was 9:30 pm, sometime in December. It was cold and dark, but he didn't mind it. Every few seconds he would take his pencil and apply it to the drawing paper in which was kept in a drawing pad. He was drawing faces, with names. He was working on a person named Kate, beside her face under her name he wrote Bleeder, in cursive, and under that was a drawing of a Lilly. He put both of his fingers on his temples. He was a psychic known as a Watcher, all he could remember was taking a drug that enhanced his powers, and they did. His visions were more vivid, sometimes he was able to actually be inside his vision to get a better understanding of the surroundings. He could extend his visions from hours to days, and even years. His visions were based on decisions, because of this, the future is always changing.

He saw himself sitting at the Starbucks drawing, the time was 9:32pm, and before he could put his pencil back to the paper a black Convertible pulled up next to him, and too men got out the car and pulled him in. He tried to kick and fight but one of them made him look into his eyes, and he was paralyzed. Then they took him away. October took himself out of the vision and looked at the time. The clock inside the Starbucks went from 9:31 pm to 9:32 pm. October gasped, grabbing his drawing pad and begun to run down the street trying to dodge people as he ran. He looked back, and he could see the black Convertible drive down the road. October ran down a nearby alleyway, until he reached a dead end. He looked behind him and saw the crowd of people walking on the sidewalk as he was in the empty alleyway. He placed his fingers on his temples and closed his eyes again. After a couple seconds he hid behind a dumpster. Just as he did the two men ran down the alleyway.

"I thought I saw him run down this way! The Sniff said he would be here!" One of them said, their run turned into a walk, they were about to pass the dumpster, until the hear the Convertible alarm go off."Damn kids! Don't they know not to mess with things that don't belong to them!?" The other one cried as they ran back towards the sidewalk as fast as they could.

October let out a sigh of relief as he went crashing down on the cold damp rocky alleyway. He wiped his face with his hands and waited for two minutes, when he knew they were gone. Then he walked back toward the sidewalk, where he would begin his search for the people who were going to save his life.
