Reading notes:
1. The blurb is in first person, but the story is in third person.
2. A short mystery story with some angst. Read with care.
3. There are no supernatural elements in this story, so don't be scared.
Blurb: ↓
I'm a genius. Although I've never taken any official tests, I'm certain of it.
I look down on the people around me. I think they're all idiots.
That's why I've never told anyone my secret: I can see a world no one else can.
I know the neighbor's cat will die tomorrow.
I see the woman in the coffin crying.
I found the mother who left me when I was very young.
But I don't know why she's gone mad.
At some point, a man started following me everywhere.
At first, I was happy, because I knew he would become my other half.
But he never spoke or showed any expression. He just followed me silently.
Then one day, he suddenly smiled at me,
and I became afraid.
But it's all right.
Now he's the one who's afraid. ;-)
Maybe this is another story no one really wants to read, but it means something different to me, and I'll quietly see it through to the end.
I'll post it once the whole story is finished.
