CHAPTER ONE

red

rain

The rain darkened the midnight sky and limited Martin's vision as it cascaded down the windshield of his car in one solid sheet. The wiper blades did very little to clear the waterfall away. The streetlights refracted through the water and blinded Martin every few seconds. He could not see clearly, even so, he still drove too fast.

Martin fiddled with the car radio and switched from station to station searching for an adrenaline rushing song. He could not find one so he began pulling CDs from the glove compartment. He read their titles and placed the older CDs on the seat beside him. When Martin finally saw the perfect CD, he strained to grasp it, but the seat belt held him in place so he pulled it off his shoulder to reach farther.

Through his peripheral vision, Martin first saw the red traffic light mutating in the rain waterfall. He sat up and strained to look out the obscured windshield, but he could not see anything clearly. He hoped there were no cars in the intersection. His eyes followed inches behind the wiper blades. They searched for a clear pathway. They only saw a man.

Time stopped!

The man's face was ghostly white in the bright headlights. Martin slammed on the brakes. The loud music playing on the radio, and the thundering rain on the car body covered the sound of impact. The man's body drifted away from the car and fell down out of Martin's sight. The car inched forward a few more feet before it stopped its agonizing skid and time returned to normal.

Martin shifted the gear into park, jumped out of the car, and ran up to the motionless body. He watched the rain explode in a red pool of blood around the man's head. Martin panicked and ran back to the car. He backed the car away from the body and turned around in the middle of the street. He sped away and time stood still a second time.

A radiant light gleamed into Martin's eyes through the rearview mirror. The light mesmerized him. In the heart of the light a woman emerged. She knelt beside the fallen man and placed a hand on his forehead. The man sat up and then a brilliant flash blinded Martin.

As quickly as the light had arrived, it left, and the two figures disappeared with it. At the next street corner, Martin turned the car right and his memory of the accident vanished immediately as his car rounded the corner.

THUS BEGINS MARTIN'S JOURNEY . . .
