Just Them 1: Him

This is just another story.
Nothing special.
It has everything you'd expect to find in a normal story.
Suicide, depression, insanity, someone gets abilities, etc.

Meet Erskine Devlin, just another person in just another story.
He hates who he is.
He's too shy - can't even start a conversation.
Extremely low self-esteem.
He's quiet, so nobody notices if or when he actually does try to start a conversation.
Despite contemplating suicide, he doesn't have the bravery to pull it off.

That last one should be a good thing, right?

Not when you think you're selfish beyond all reason.

One day, he meets someone who changes their life forever.

He even gets the ability of psychokinesis.
