LOCAL TALE OF PREMONITION

THERE WAS THIS COUPLE WHO WAS PARKING IN PERCY WARNER
PARK, AND AFTER A WHILE, THE GIRL GOT COLD CHILLS AND
REQUESTED THAT THEY LEAVE. THE BOY, THINKING THAT SHE
WAS MAKING EXCUSES, THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST BEING SILLY.
BUT SHE INSISTED THAT THEY LEAVE BECAUSE SHE HAD A
FEELING THAT SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THE BOY
FINALLY CONSENTED AND THEY LEFT. WHEN THEY GOT HOME,
THERE WAS A HAND PRINT ON THE DOOR OF THE CAR, AND IT
WAS SMUDGED AS IF PERHAPS THE MOVEMENT OF THE CAR AS
THE COUPLE STARTED TO LEAVE HAD SMUDGED IT.
