Past Imperfect
Krane brought the car for a song from an auction. A house was about to be demolished due to the previous owner dying and subsidence had pulled one of the walls down. Before razing the building, a car, previously missed and in perfect condition, was found in the garage. Documents cited Harold Weisz as the owner. At the auction, anyone who had attempted to bid suddenly had a coughing fit, stopping any competition. Being just in his twenties, Krane was jubilant at the ease of acquiring this beautiful vehicle.
Now, whilst out on a drive a flashing red light caught Krane’s eye. Keeping his eye on the road, he leant and tapped the light. A wave of dizziness overtook him and he shook his head. As his vision cleared, he grinned, looking in the mirror seeing not Krane, but the newly installed Harold Weisz ecstatic at gaining another life to live.

yes for sure–after scanning again–when the dizziness comes over him, I want him to cough (with reference to how this is very similar to the auction house attendees sudden fits) and then for him to look in the mirror and see this harold fellow. perhaps replace dizziness with coughing altogether. That could be the plot device–the superpower–that Harold has…
