Saturday

If every Monday, you would develop a new skill—— In the first week, you can hear what everyone is saying. When you hear your mother say "it's okay" you think "I feel so hurt", when you hear your wife say "whatever" you think "why don't you understand me", when you hear your leader say "do it well" you think "if you don't do it well get out". The second week, you can smell every lie. The person who said "I love you" was as sour as rancid swill. The person who says "I'm fine" makes your teeth hurt. In the third week, you can see everyone's death date. A college student who gives you his seat on the subway will have the number 3 above his head. Do you think this is a superpower? This is a curse. You know too many things you shouldn't know and see too many things you shouldn't see. You are so overwhelmed by these abilities that you are like a grass being stepped into the mud. But you're not dead yet. You have grown out of the mud again. This is not a book about superpowers. This is about how a person can live shamelessly after being tortured to death by the truth. Do you like to see it or not. Anyway, I wrote it.
