Written for Alexander McEvoy's challenge:

***

She was a doctor. A doctor, who made unforgivable mistakes and had to suffer the inevitable consequences: watching the people she injected slowly die, including her loved ones and knowing that she was the one their lives depended on, and that she will once be the next. It was only a matter of time...

When she realized what she had done, it was already too late... her actions could not be undone anymore.

After all it wasn't completely her fault... She didn't have a choice. If she didn't obey the instructions of the authorities and do as she was told, she would've lost her job, ending up on the streets unemployed. As a single parent it would've been impossible there for her and her kids to survive. But what would've been worse? Living in the shadows of dark and dirty alleys, spending the whole day begging people for money or having her kids watch her die, because of one stupid decision caused by the panic-like propaganda of the pandemic. On the streets at least they would've been together...

She knew that her days were numbered. Every single one could've been her last.

She would've done anything just to get back what she was deprived from.

And in fact not only her, but everyone working in health care and other social communities. Because these people were forced to take the death cure, with no complaint.

On a desperate night she went to sleep with painful tears in her eyes. She prayed and asked the Lord for time, the most precious thing she could've got.

On that day her prayers were listened to.

When she woke up, she found herself in their old house.

"That's impossible" - she thought - " We sold this house like four years ago..."

She unplugged her phone and checked the time.

"9:13 a.m" it said.

Nothing weird...

However when she looked at the date, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"3rd March 2020?!" She didn't need much time to do the math: "That's exactly half a month before the pandemic!"

And the craziest part was that she remembered everything.

"Did I just dream the future?"

Whatever happened she took it as a warning sign and decided not to let her life get messed up like that again.

As she was an experienced doctor, who already knew the approaching worldwide epidemic, she took this advantage and started to talk about it first only to her family, and then with the help of social media she managed to reach out to others too.

She told people that there's no reason to panic, and prepared them to what was going to happen in order to minimize their fears. She asked the government to pay attention and invest in the hospitals for a better health care and more developed equipment. She informed people that vaccines wouldn't be that useful, as the virus would mutate after time. Instead she asked them to stay at home and not overthink the situation.

She also asked the rich to raise money for charity so that the homeless wouldn't be neglected either. And people watched her... and listened to her... and admired her. Because all that she said did come true. She was known as the "fortune teller".

Soon she ran one of the biggest YouTube channels in the country. She became influential.

She donated a lot to different shelters, and encouraged the government to do so too.

She also talked about the war, that was following the pandemic, and that people need to find a way to maintain an proper government in order to make this conflict stop.

She did everything she could to make this world a better place. In fact it could only get better than this...

Warning! This story is a bit exaggerated. Many people think that we were manipulated and lied to by the numbers of Covid-19 while others state that the virus was a serious threat for humanity. I'm not participating in this debate. This story represents the perspective of a woman, who claims that vaccines were unnecessary and harmful for the human body in a long term. Since four years ahead we cannot talk about long term effects, we cannot declare if she's right or wrong.

Thank you for reading! If you're still here, would you mind leaving your feedback? It always helps a lot, and I really appreciate your support! :)
