Make it happen

Don’t think about that again, DO NOT think about that car slamming into the wall or you will make it happen. I keep reminding myself not to let my thoughts wander. I’m not sure when I started piecing it together but all of a sudden it was clear as day. Sometimes if I think about something too long or too hard, it will happen. Not good things, but destructive things. Sounds crazy, maybe it’s all been a bunch of bad coincidences.
The first time it happened I was pumping gas. I was amusing myself by watching traffic wiz by, it was Friday and people were just starting to get out of work. I noticed a guy standing in the gas station across the street waiting for a ride. I thought to myself, “That guy better watch out or he is going to get hit.â€? I snapped back to reality and finished pumping my gas. I was about to get into my car when the next sound that I heard was the worse sound I have ever heard in my life. It took me a minute to process what I saw, a man on the ground and a car sideways on the sidewalk.
