A girl finds out she can see into the near future and distant past, but she has to wound or injure herself to see it. She keeps her ability a secret from everyone. However, one day some men come and give her an ultimatum. What is the ultimatum and what are you going to choose?

Tips:

Foreshadowing

Keep your characters in the dark - they don't have to know everything that is going on.
