Supermind - Desmond Young (good book club books .txt) 📗

I remember day that goes back a decade as if it was yesterday. It was a hot summery day and around that time I was twenty-one. I had been living on my own for about three years. I had already bought a house and I had everything that I could ever ask for.
That day I remember, everything changed. I still don’t know how that change happened, but it happened. That day I gained a super power which was mind reading.
When I first discovered that I had that ability was when I had gone outside and looked at a person. I caught onto how the power worked and I then used it to mess with the people. The way I messed with the people was by starting off with reading their minds, and then waited for a few seconds, and then I said what the person was going to say.
After a while of playing around I had gotten really tired and took a long nap. While I was napping I had an epiphany. It told me not to use my power to joke with people, and instead I should use it to improve the city. After I had woken up from my nap I started to think of a way to improve the city.
Three hours later I had only thought of a bunch of bull crap. Another two hours later I had finally came up with an idea, which was to practice using my power so that I could maybe read the mind of a person that the law wanted caught. So for the next couple of hours I had practiced my butt off and I had finally gotten to a point where I thought that I was ready to put my plan into place and come to find out I was ready.
I then went to the town council and told them that I could read minds. They then laughed at me and said, “Son don’t waste our time!” Then I told them to think of something and that I would know what they had thought. They then started to think and I then focused on each of them and then told them what they were thinking. They were so shock and amazed of what I could do.
They then took me to a secret building and they told me to focus on this one guy and to tell them what he was thinking. So I did. I then told them that the guy was asking himself where he should place the bomb in the area’s mall.
So they then called the cops and gave them a photo of the guy. Twenty minutes later the cops called back and told us that they had caught the bomber. By then I was really tired and I laid my head down and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was morning and I had lost my power. Later that morning I realized that I was normal again.
