With the sunglasses on, no one knew that David was steering at them. Certainly they didn't know that he was admiring their naked bodies. David simply walked down the street, seeing all he wanted. He was steered particularly at one lushes piece of eye candy strolling unsuspecting right ahead of him when something strange happened. Text began to appear over the person. Flitting by quickly. Yet dissipate the amount of text and uneven background, David absorbed every word without even trying. It took him a moment to realize that this was the person's thoughts. He could read minds!
With a flick of his eyes, the text changed. No longer stray thoughts. It was all kinds of detailed information personal information. Name, age, gender, sexual orientation, address, favorite color, favorite food, how hungry they were, who their parents were, friend status, phone number, relationship status, hobbies, fears, hopes, bank accounts, social media passwords... Everything. Right down to their preferred cereal. It flicked by in an instant and somehow David got it all and memorized it with perfect clarity. He knew the person better then they knew themselves!
His eyes observed yet another person. Then another. And another. Their minds, identity, personality, social life. It only took a few seconds to scan a person. And he wasn't even feeling overwhelmed by it. To his surprise, it even worked on objects. He focussed on a building and in the blink of an eye knew who owned it, when it was built and more. He was even able to see into it. At the flick of his eyes, they passed through every corridor and every room. It was a talent that grew ever easier for him. Controlled by his mind.
He passed a library and devoured the contents of over a dozen unopened books in under a minute. He had to pull his sight away from that, as interesting as it was. He could gorge himself on literature and become an expert in any field when ever he needed. Now that he was getting the hang of this power, he realized he could see people's clothes if he so wanted to. Dress them or undress them as he pleased. Partially or fully.
Effortlessly he adjusted it so that he was fully dressed in his vision, but left everyone else naked and exposed. What else could he do with these? He'd been looking for a date recently, but he was rather a picky guy. A refined taste, as he'd like to put it. Maybe he could find his perfect mate with these?
At that thought, his vision cleared the street ahead of him of cars, trees, buildings and people, turning them transparent, but still visible enough not to walk blindly into anyone. A multitude of dispersed people in random distant locations remained more opaque than the rest. Beautiful people all. They too faded one by one, leaving just the most perfect match. His sight zoomed forward like the eyes of a hawk, landing on the object of his dreams.
