Don’t pull me, don’t slap me, please

'Then I saw him or it? He looked like a normal teenage boy but his eyes shone with bright white lights.

His right hand was stretched with an open palm like he was holding me up in this hand like a simple

bug or doll. And I know it sounds like my imagination or hallucination from a near death experience but I felt heat and pressure from the bottom of my feet and then I started floating up.

I'm back on the bridge but this kid or some other creature disguised as a human boy was already gone.

This was my new lease on life so I took it with relish.

I took a course in Cybersecurity and got a pretty nice gig in a big corporation. Renew contact with family and old friends.

For a while life was good and simple. But there was a constant itch in my brain.

Who saved my life that day?

Was this superhero, ghost, alien or something completely different.

To find the truth I integrated myself into an online community researching paranormal events.

Then with most involved members of the community I founded Paranormal Research Club.I didn't tell them that my primary reason to start our operation is to find my secret saver.

We interviewed hundreds of people about their paranormal experiences. But there wasn't any story similar to mine.

Then I realized I had to research my experience from another angle.

I decided to infiltrate the government monitoring center and find recordings from that day.

For some time I had bad feelings. Maybe I'm paranoid but I could be monitored by someone.

So If I disappeared you know why. Don't let it discourage you and never anyone stop you in searching for the truth.

Keep wondering for what's beyond.

Love, Richi.'

"That sounds like a fantastic movie plot. I would remember if some magic creature showed up out of nowhere and he didn't even jump. I stop him. What he's trying to do. Was he scamming some poor gullible supernatural believers?"

I admit I'm a bit hyperbolic but common what's up with this science fiction b-movie plot.

"Maybe he is scamming but I don't know. A.I. searched all names on other testimonies and they are all real people whom he met for sure."

"How can you be so sure of it?"

Shadow click out of encrypted folder and opened internet searching engine then open YoTube.pl

"Because they uploaded them on their official

Paranormal Research Club Yo Tube page. They even got a decent amount of views."

He opens up one of the videos and turns out that interviews being real are not the biggest surprise.

"You shiting me. All men from the river are there."

"Yep, they're all together in their paranormal club.Weird, no?"

"What does this mean? They were all abducted? Why does someone possibly want to kidnap paranormal fanatics!?"

Shadow watches me a little more attentively. Something dark flashes in his gaze and he grabs me by the collar to bring me to his level of his eyes. Full on interrogation style.

"Are you sure you are not bullshiting me Kido? Are you comprehending that a real man died and this is not a game so don't play with me." his voice lowered about an octave or two.

"I told you everything I remember from that day.I would definitely remember if something of this sort happened. I'm not lying!"

Shadow pulled me even closer. At this point I feel his breath on my face and see laser focus on me.

"Are you sure. This is the last chance to tell me the truth without consequences."

His fist tightens on my collar cutting my air flow.

"Puff, puff. I swear Shadow I didn't lie to you. Why would I do that?" I sound like a squeaky toy but it's not important right now.

As rapidly he caught me by the throat he let me go as quickly. I fell on the floor on my suddenly soft noodle legs.

"Hua, hua." I hyperventilate a little on the floor and when I feel like a person I get up.

"Sorry Kid. If I didn't scare you, you wouldn't be as honest. It's an automatic human response to not being able in sudden and intimidating situations."

He smiles like it somehow makes it better. Probably that's the way he uncovered the truth in any case. He is a crazy genius with pressure on crazy.

'Why tho he is still so cool?'

"Okay, sure. Cool. Cool. Dude if you do it again I will just fall and die from the stress?"

Shadow started ignoring me again and searched for some more Richard computer.

When I was sure we spent the whole day searching through victims data something happened that changed our plans wholly.

Shadows phone from the future started flashing red. I thought he would ignore it also to not be distracted from his research.

But to my complete surprise he picked the phone practically immediately.

"Kid, let's end for today. I have an emergency."
