Have you ever wished you could see what someones worst sin is? What would you do if you could see a persons sin written on them like a sign? Would you ignore it or would you do something about it? Would you think you were going crazy? That's what I thought was happeneing to me when I first started seeing sins. It started when I was around ten years old I looked at my neighbor who seemed like a really nice man and then a suddenly saw words scrolled across his chest I was a bit intigued by the words so I read them and at that time I wish I didn't my eyes stopped at the word murder. I think after seeing that I let out a scream cause my mother came running outside thinking something was wrong I told her nothing was wrong since I didn't want to worry her but, after that whenever I saw my neighbor I couldn't look at him the same.

The next time it happened I was in middle school at the time and was thirteen I was hanging with my friends and one of them was going on about his girlfriend and that's when I saw it written on his chest was the word cheated. It took me sometime to figure it out what that meant cause soon after he broke up with his girlfriend because she found out he cheated on her with someone else I couldn't believe it why was I seeing these words on people, was I going crazy? That thought sunk in more and more each time I saw those words and each time the sins went from simple ones to extreme ones I once saw a man whose sin was polygamy and another time I saw a man who had rape as his sin. I had no idea why these words were only visible to me that's when I decided to find the reason behind it, I looked online I looked through books but, found nothing about seeing words on peoples chests.

I was in highschool at the time I started to look into it I was also sixteen years old at the time I was at home looking through more books as I was going to grab another book off the shelf I made other one fall to the ground when I looked at it I found it was a bible. I don't know why but, I fealt like somehow that book would have the answer I was looking for so I picked it up and looked through it and read many stories in it about men and women who commited sins and I recognized some of them and that's when it hit me I was seeing the sins that people had commited the ones they think were the worst thing they did that's when it all came flooding back to me all the times I saw those words on people I was looking at their greatest sin. It took me a while to catch my breath after finding out what I was seeing then another question popped into my head, Why was I seeing these sins? I wondered how come I was able to see these things, was I some kind of psychic or was I something else?

After finding out what I was seeing I started looking into how it could be possible so I did something I don't normally do, I went to church, I stopped going after I entered highschool.

My mom had tried to get me to go back since she was really invested into it but, after many failed attempts to suade me to go she just gave up and left me alone, I think my mom would be cracking a smile if she saw me walking up the steps of a church. I stepped through the huge double wooden door and at first I stood there I had no idea why but, I felt like I wasn't welcome inside and I felt like something was trying to force me out. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach but I ignored it and continued inside I looked around for a priest I could talk to after searching high and low I finally found one he saw me and walked over to me. He greeted me with a smile and hello and asked me if I had some sort of problem I nodded my head to him and I asked if I could talk to him somewhere private he agreed and brought me into his office. He sat down in his office chair at his desk and I sat in the chair in front of his desk he told me to tell him what was bothering me and so I spilled everything to him. I didn't know if he was going to believe me or not but, I just wanted to get this off my chest since I never told anyone about this ability of mine.

After I had finished he took a while to take it all in I looked at his face and thought for sure he would think I was crazy or just a teenager on drugs but I was surprised to see him smile he got up from his desk and walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. He told me that God had given me a gift to see the evils in the world and that maybe I had some sort of roll to fill with it I smiled I was a bit thankful to here him say that the first person I ever told about this ability and they believed me but deep down something told me that this ability was God given at all but I ingnored it I was just happy to have finally learned why I had my ability. I left the church and went home happy.

It had been at least three years since that happened I'm in college now and I'm twenty-one years old I still see peoples sins but, I choose to ignore them because I felt like I was looking in on a persons private thoughts and life by being able to see their sins. The sins of college students aren't that big some have cheated on the boyfriend or girlfriend some have stolen something, normal college student things but, I wasn't prepared to see what I saw today as I was walking I saw a girl she had long black hair that stopped at the center of her back she wore all black and her skin was pale her eyes were a bright amber color that made me think of the sun in the afternoon. She looked at me and gave me a smile a waved casually and that's when I saw it her greatest sin 'Child of Satan' I just stood frozen in fear and watched as she walked away It took me a moment to collect myself after seeing that because that was the first time I ever saw that sin written on someone.

I had no idea why she had it but, I came up with a reason as to why I then pushed that girls image out of my mind and for a few days I tried not to see her in the hall on in the classroom. I began to relax after not bumping into her but nothing could have preared me for when she found me and she took me by the arm and pulled me along with her.

I had no idea what she wanted with me and I was too paralyzed by fear to actually try to break free she then took me to a secluded hallway with no one in sight and she out and asked me "Did you see it?". [END]
