I was watching television one night. I’ll never forget what that particular show was about that night. It was about a robbery of Clynes’ Bank and during that robbery, Dolores was shot. I know that there was nothing out of the ordinary about the episode, and its nothing special, but the very next morning my husband woke me up to tell me my long time friend Dolores had been shot this morning and is now in the hospital!

            That night I watched the T.V. show like normal, except this time I kept a watchful eye for similarities to the town and right away I spotted it. A little girl, Cindy, was kidnaped by a Mr. Hinkleberry. I know several little Cindys, but Cindy Macantine is the only girl I know who Mr. Hinkleberry knows. He used to water the lawn for the Macantines. I immediately called the police and told them to go to Mr. Hinkleberry’s house and arrest him because he is about to kidnap little Cindy. However, since my only evidence was the T.V. show, they hung up on me.

            I quickly called Cindy’s mom and told her about Dolores and how the show knew it would happen. She didn’t believe me, but she decided to be on the safe side, and go on a trip to her mother’s house.

            I called the cops once again and I was astonished by what I heard. They told me today was a really slow day so they decided to check on Mr. Hinkleberry. When they got to Hinkleberry’s house, he was gone. They entered his house, and sure enough, he had pictures of Cindy pinned up all over his walls, every wall. They realized immediately that Cindy really was in danger. They drove to the Macantines, found Hinkleberry’s truck in the driveway and busted down the door. Hinkleberry stood at the door with several of Cindy’s dolls in his hands.

            If it weren’t for that T.V. show, Cindy would be gone. But when I called the network, I was told that none of the writers are psychic and that all episodes are written months ahead of airing.
