I miss the times when people would make up wild pseudoscience theories to explain coincidences instead of religion. I want a reporter wondering if this is proof that time travel exists or that time space loops might be a thing instead of just generic "Angels".

Hell, tell me maybe this was a Valar improvising on Illuvatar's music.

Pssh, clearly this woman was taken to the furthest reaches of space and time by a manic depressive immortal in a phone booth, at one point learning that she was fated to die the next day. Said immortal returned her to earth moments later from our frame of reference, after a spacetime accident wiped most of her memory of the events. Leaving her with only a bad feeling about tomorrow, and a deep sad longing she cannot name when she gazes toward the stars.

The dreaming godhead tried skooma and time folded in on itself for a second to show this person a glimpse of the future.

The fact this woman called out due to “premonitions” and found her way to being featured on the local news despite clearly not being at the scene tells me she is likely an insufferable, self-absorbed, attention-seeking lunatic of an employee, who will never ever shut up about this bullshit.

Premonition equals confirmation bias.
