Flash Forward A.R.G.

LOS ANGELES – Psychologists in California have noted an unprecedented demand for counseling services since the events of the Global Blackout.

Dr Marcia Cleggs, spokesperson for the State Board of Psychologist, said that FlashForwards currently accounted for nearly 98 percent of patients’ primary discussion points with psychologists.

“Obviously, people have seen all manner of things in their FlashForwards and psychologists are working hard to help them make sense of it,” said Dr Cleggs. “Some of these things are traumatic but a surprising number of patients are trying to adjust to unexpected turns of fortune as well. It’s often unrecognized that an exciting new job or unexpected inheritance can place patients under the same high level of stress as a more unfortunate situation. We’re helping them cope.”

Dr Cleggs added many patients were people who had no visions whatsoever, but instead only saw darkness, which she referred to as “black visions.” Many have interpreted these as meaning they will be dead by the FlashForward date, which was seen in visions worldwide to coincide with April 29th 2010, 10PM.

However, Cleggs laughed off these theories, adding that she herself had experienced a so-called “black vision.” “Both my husband and I were asleep at the time of the GBO and we didn’t dream anything that night. But this doesn’t mean we’re going to die – it could simply mean we were sleeping 6 months in the future as well. It makes sense.”

There is strong debate amongst neuroscientists about what these so-called “black visions” might mean. Some theorists have noted that while “black visions” have affected people of all ages and backgrounds, they have been particularly prevalent in the elderly and terminally ill.
