The Sixth Sense

Not every gift is a blessing.

"We were supposed to draw a picture, anything we wanted. I drew a man who got hurt in the neck by another man with a screwdriver."
"You saw that on TV, Cole?"
"Everyone got upset. They had a meeting. Mom started crying. I don't draw like that any more."
"How do you draw now?"
"Draw... people smiling, dogs running, rainbows. They don't have meetings about rainbows."

    --  Cole Sears and Malcolm Crowe
 

"Do you know why you're afraid when you're alone? I do. I do."

    --  Vincent Grey
 

"Tell me a story about why you're sad."
"Do you think I'm sad?  What makes you think that?"
"Your eyes told me."

    --  Cole Sears and Malcolm Crowe
 

"I don't want her to know."
"Know what?"
"That I'm a freak."

    --  Cole Sears and Malcolm Crowe
 

"Instead of something I want, can it be something I don't want?"
"Okay."
"I don't want to be scared anymore."

    --  Cole Sears and Malcolm Crowe
 

"I see dead people."
"In your dreams?  While you're awake?  Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?"
"Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead."
"How often do you see them?"
"All the time."

    --  Cole Sears and Malcolm Crowe
 

"Stop looking at me. I don't like people looking at me like that."

    --  Cole Sears
 

"I hope no one was hurt."
"There was a woman on a bicycle. She died."
"You can see her? Where is she?"
"Standing next to my window. Grandma says hi.  She says she's sorry for taking the bumblebee pendant. She just likes it a lot."

    --  Lynn Sears and Cole Sears
 

"Look at my face. I was not thinking anything bad about you."

    --  Lynn Sears
 

"How does the story end?"
"I don't know."
