The Ever Changing Date

A Story of Destiny and Free Will

By Ariana JeanPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

As long as she could remember, Emma had always been able to see the date of people's deaths. It was a gift she didn't understand, and it haunted her. She had tried to ignore it, but it was always there, in the back of her mind, a constant reminder of the fragility of life.

One day, Emma met a man named David. His date of death kept changing, and Emma was intrigued. She had never seen this before. His date would jump from one year to another, and it made her wonder what was happening.

Emma knew she had to find out more about David's situation, but she was hesitant to get involved. She had always kept her gift a secret, and she wasn't sure how David would react. However, as she got to know him, she couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that something was wrong.

Finally, Emma mustered the courage to confront David about his ever-changing date of death. At first, he was reluctant to talk about it, but eventually, he opened up. He told her that he had been diagnosed with a rare disease that had no cure. He was given only a few months to live, but he had refused to accept it.

David had traveled the world, seeking alternative treatments, and he had been successful in prolonging his life. He knew his date of death was still looming, but he refused to accept it. Emma was amazed by David's determination, but she knew that the longer he avoided his fate, the more his date would jump around.

Emma and David spent more time together, and as they grew closer, Emma became more determined to help him find a way to accept his fate. She researched the disease and contacted specialists who could offer advice. But the more she delved into David's situation, the more she realized that his problem was not the disease itself, but his refusal to accept it.

One day, as they sat in the park, Emma had an idea. She suggested they visit a medium she knew. Emma had never believed in such things, but she was willing to try anything to help David find peace.

As they sat with the medium, Emma watched as David's date of death stabilized. The medium told David that he needed to let go of his fear and embrace the time he had left. Emma saw a weight lifted from David's shoulders, and his ever-changing date of death stopped.

Over time, Emma and David's relationship grew stronger. They both knew that David's time was limited, but they were determined to make the most of it. They traveled the world, trying new things, and cherishing every moment they had together.

One day, as they sat on a beach in Bali, David turned to Emma and said, "I'm ready." Emma knew what he meant, and she held his hand as he passed away peacefully.

Emma was heartbroken, but she knew that David had found peace in his final moments. She had learned that her gift was not just about seeing the date of death, but about helping people find acceptance and peace. She decided to use her gift to help others, to guide them towards acceptance, and to help them make the most of the time they had left.

In conclusion, Emma's journey was one of acceptance and understanding. She had learned that fate could be changed, but sometimes, it was not the fate itself that needed to change, but the person's perception of it. Emma had helped David find peace in his final days, and in doing so, she had found a sense of purpose in her gift.
