The meeting
August 1, 2030
My story begins with this, this meeting with the police and some interviewers from some network. They ask so many Questions it’s hard to keep up with all the answers, which I just say “don’t know” or “I don’t care.” Until I hear one interviewer says
“If you could change one thing in your life would you take away your ability to use electricity?”
Suddenly, everyone goes silent. For at least seven minutes everyone, even i am is silent, waiting like a panther ready to pounce on the answer. My mind, is fortunately blank which is the very first time and I’m happy for once with what I am and finally responded to the question with this.
“ No, this has changed my life so much that if they changed me back I would never be happy again.”
Soon the frenzy of questions started all over again but I didn’t answer, I only thought about me and how would I be different if I didn’t have these powers. If I were normal like everyone in this room then what would I do after this meeting? I thought to myself. Soon I looked up to see everyone still looking at me in wonder, ‘that’s strange usually they are looking at their notepads then at me with a questioning look.’ I thought. Then everything blacks out but before I fade in I send some electricity to my brain to restart it.
...
I wake up in my cell in Eureka County juvenile Jail in Nevada. I think but remember everything that happened while I was knocked out and found out that I was hit in the back of the head…wait, that’s why they all looked at me with wonder, well it wasn’t wonder, it was electrocution, from me. Then a person walks in with an absorber but he was in a suit with a label “Channel 7 News”, ‘great another interviewer’ I think. And like always they start off like every interview I have ever had.
“Age?”
“I don’t know.”
“Name?”
“I have no name.”
And so forth, all about me, until this question stopped my brain, yet again,
“They tell me you have power of the using electricity. Now how did this happen, from the time you are born to when you are caught, three months ago. And don’t tell me you don’t know. So everything, every place, every day, every month of every year, and before you ask why a reporter needs this information, well I’m not a reporter, I am an author. and I’m here the write your life into a story. And the names Gabe, Gabe Smith.
