Now we've all heard of coincidental media such as the popular theory that the Simpsons can predict the future:

And like most media, the real life result is not quite as 100% accurate as what's portrayed on these shows and movies, but so close enough that it either fascinates or scares people.

Depending on what the prediction was, there was even variations named by TV Tropes such as Hilarious in Hindsight, and Harsher in Hindsight. In which depending on the prediction makes said prediction even funnier or in some cases, scary, disturbing or not as funny/not funny anymore. Case in point. The Movie Heathers, which was basically Mean Girls of the 80s, got away with a lot of shit that wouldn't fly today and was even on the teeter totter of what was funny in the Dark Comedy Genre, because the premise was deemed too ridiculous. Teens getting revenge on popular cliques by killing them using guns, explosives and chemicals. Sound familiar? Back then the idea of a teenager going nuts and going on a shooting spree against his or her fellow teens, was considered laughable. But in the wake of Columbine and the school and public shootings that came and went, the premise was less of a dark comedy joke and became more of a realistic horror movie. Making it harsher in hindsight. Whereas Hilarious in hindsight is like Louis Tully in Ghostbusters II referencing Super Mario Bros. Only for Nintendo to get inspired by and parody the movie through the Luigi's Mansion series.

Now you're probably wondering where am I going with this?

Well as you know I did a prequel series for my Lovecraft Noir series. In the first episode of that series:

Basically the story goes that a rich explorer goes to the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and as a result of being devoured and taken over by our Lovable Lovecraftian Anti-Heroine Eldra, she was a declared missing person found. (Eldra disguised as her returning). Now like I said before, like most media predictions this one isn't accurate to what I'm about to mention. Yet it was way too close enough for comfort.

As you all have been aware recently, there has been reports of a missing submarine last seen heading to the Atlantic ocean. The submarine called The Titan, a tour submarine who's goal was to explore the wreckage of the famous sunken ship, The RMS Titanic. Do not sing the Celine Dion song. Anywho Five passengers including the CEO of the tour company Ocean Gate. As of the time they were last scene they had 96 hours of oxygen left. As of the time of that NBC news report, 41 hours. Now as I write this possibly 39 hours left. In all sincerity I do hope they are found alive and well, but I'm a realist. I believe they'll either die of lack of oxygen, water pressure compression or panic induced violence. And should that happen, my heart goes out to their family, friends and loved ones.

With that said, I noticed some similarities and differences between my story and this event.

For starters, in terms of accuracy:

1. Both events started with a rich explorer riding a submarine down the depths of a major ocean.
2. Both submarines start with the letters "T" and "I"
3. Both vessel and passenger alike were declared missing and presumed dead.
4. Both explored a part of the ocean depths with a structure that is believed to be cursed.

In terms of differences:

1. There was more than one passenger on the Titan. Many of them male. Whereas the person in the story is a female pilot.
2. Their submarine was called the "Titan". The story's sub is called the "S.S. Tillinghast." which was a reference to Lovecraft's main character in "From Beyond."
3. While the search is still ongoing for them dead or alive, the character in the story was declared found when Eldra took her form.
4. The Titan was exploring the Atlantic Ocean and The Tillinghast was exploring the Pacific Ocean. In terms of curses, Titanic has had many rumors, conspiracy theories and even haunted house stories regarding the sinking and the current wreckage below. Whereas The Tillinghast was searching for a lost Lovecraftian City rumored to be cursed with Gods, Monsters and other abominations.

That being said be it prediction or mere coincidence, it freaked me the fuck out. Makes me wonder what other things my entertainment predicts. Though if it were a %100 accurate prediction, I'm pretty sure infighting and lack of air are the least of their worries. Unlike some people, I don't rule out the possibility that one of those things or a large undersea creature is lurking about.
