Back in high school, when this all started, I started to feel sick. Not wanting to worry my parents, I kept it a secret, and it's a good thing I did. The sickness I had wasn't the flu or some other disease, it was some sort of awakening inside me. Let's just say I gained an ability that no one else had.
Later on I continued my normal life by day, and practiced this power at night. By the end of my college years, I mastered this ability. Now it would have taken me longer if it weren't for a friend of mine that helped me along the way. He was trying to create some machine, and I was wanting to learn my ability. Somehow we were able to help each other. The second he became famous the fucker left me, my only friend abandoned me. Ever since then I kept my power a secret wishing no one would leave me again.
I'm now 30 and I've been doing good with my life. I have a girlfriend, a pretty good job, and I live in an amazing neighborhood. When no one is around, I use my power to make sure I don't become rusty.
If only I was more cautious.
I told my wife I was leaving for work and she believed me. After I reached a safe distance, I drove back home to see that she left too. Once I parked the car the garage, I made sure no window was revealing anything. I took off my clothes and activated my ability. Not even a few seconds after I activated it the front door opened. My girlfriend froze in terror as I deactivated my power.
”Wh-what the fuck d-did you just do?” she asked. I was unsure how to answer. We were both panicked and were shaking in our shoes.
”Listen, I can explain everything, but it will take some time-”
”No! You always give me the long answer Jon! Give me the truth and just that!”
I knew my time was up. Sooner or later this would have happened. ”Ok, I have the ability to ________”
