Something a friend wrote.

I found this in one of my "Things to keep around  because I'll work on it soon" boxes. This was a short story written by one of my friends. I typed it out just so I could throw away the original. I made some minor tweaks in the spelling, grammar, and word choices, but the text is the completely from the original paper. So any story errors are not my fault.

One morning, just like any other day, Tim woke up from his nightly sleep. But then his head felt funny as he would say.

"Ah! My Head!" he bellowed and started seeing  images in his head. In these images he saw his old friend Drake holing a gun to him at McDonalds of all  places. And then the image suddenly stops. "Oh man. What was that?" Tim says grasping his head. his strange migraine just vanished. He moves on with his morning. Tim heads of to his 9 to 1 Japanese class at college. He walks past his old friend Drake. "Hey Drake! How's it going?" Tim said, Drake just walks past ignoring him. Tim crosses Nel on campus, too shy to even talk to hr he starts to walk even faster to his class. When his class starts his professor starts to tell the students to open their books to a page. Suddenly, Tim starts to break down. He grabs his head and falls to the ground, seeing more visions. This time he saw himself getting shot in the shoulder. When he regains consciousness, he is on an emergency stretcher. Tim jumps off the stretcher, peeling off the paramedic's hands and runs to his car. There he crosses Drake again, this time he gave off an evil smirk. Tim stops short,

"What's going on?" he asks himself. He gets into his car  and he collapses again right before starting it. This time hew saw the gun aimed at Nel and then he saw himself jumping out from behind to block  the bullet and Drake turning fast. The vision ends there. He figures he just needs a little extra sleep so he drives home to settle his nerves.

            He feels no different, so he goes to work. He clocks in and to his surprise Nell walks up to the register. Time asks if he could take her order.

"Yeah...um... I'd like a small Coke with a salad..." Nel stares at Tim, "Wait, don't I know you?" she asked.

"Yeah," Tim replies, "We go to the same college." Nel tries to say something when all of a sudden the door slams open and to Tim's surprise it was Drake in a black trench coat and cargo pants. Tim hides, fearing because of his visions. Then he hears Drake yelling.

"Everybody down on the floor!" Drake begins to make demands. He says he wants money but then he sees Nel. "Oh hey there pretty. Why don't you come with me?" Tim just assumes it's another customer, but then he hears something as he grabs a filled coffee mug. Nel screams then Tim jumps over the counter with the mug. Drake turned quickly and aimed the gun at Tim while Nel runs away. 

"What are you here?" Drake asks,

"I work here! Tim retorts. In anger, Drake pulls the trigger on his gun and Tim throws the coffee mug at him. The scalding liquid lands on the side of Drake's face. Drake falls holding his face screaming and cursing. Tim falls backwards. The image of a hospital comes up in his head. Five days later, he wakes up and to his surprise, Nel was at his side crying and thanking Tim for saving her. Nel then kisses him. Tim tries to get up but flinched at the pain in his left shoulder. Just as his vision foretold, there was a gunshot wound deep within.

"Take it easy." Nel requested.

"Where's Drake?" Tim asked

"They sent him to the insane asylum." Nel replied

"Oh my God!" Tim yelled hysterically, "I can't believe what happened today!"

"Me neither!" said Nel

"Hey Nel?", Tim asked,

"Yes Tim?" Nel looks to him

"You want to go get some Burger King when I get out of here?" he asked

"But why?' Nel inquired, "Why go to Burger King when you work at McDonalds?"

"Because I work there and I'm sick of the food!" Tim replied. They both laughed!

Since that day Tim has had more and more visions. Each time, they got less painful and though these visions, he managed to get the girl of his dreams and saved hundreds of lives.

-The End.
