"Sorry we took so long," Sarah said as we sat across from her."That was pretty quick, actually," she remarked in surprise. "Guess you guys just wanted to say your peace and get it over with, huh?""Something like that," I replied, prompting Sarah to quietly laugh. Jordan was a bit confused, but shrugged it off."So," Jordan said, suggestively, "I can probably guess what it was you guys talked about.""Of course you do, big mouth," I replied with a smirk, causing the two girls to giggle. "But its fine, I'm not mad. I'm just happier to finally get everything off my chest.""Same here," Sarah added."Well, that's good! I think the two of you make really great friends.""Yeah, I agree," Sarah said, smiling to me while I had a whole mouthful of pizza. I looked at her and nodded."Uh-huh," I replied with my mouth full, both of them laughing again.After we ate, the three of us hung around to chat about anything. I could never have imagined that a lunch break would've felt so fulfilling. It
"But... I-I heard this girl with gigantic tits say that you were like this amazing sex god or something. She was definitely talking about you!"I had the sneaking suspicion he overheard Natalie talking to someone. Why Natalie felt the need to talk about me or bring up our tryst, especially considering the whole time stopping thing was involved, was beyond me. I just sighed. Best to go with the old deny everything route and move on."I don't even know any girls with gigantic tits, man," I calmly said, much to his surprise. "Sorry, I have no idea what's going on, but, I really need to catch my bus. See ya.""Okay! Um... I'll see you later, man!"I shook my head and rolled my eyes as I quickly walked away from him. I really hoped I wouldn't see him later.I didn't think my escapades were going to bring trouble my way, or that I'd feel as annoyed as I did at that moment. If more people were going to act like Johnathan, try to suck up to me in the hopes I'd help them get laid, then I figur
Somehow during the night, I'd managed to fall asleep. Surprisingly enough, I didn't have any nightmares about the freaky guys in black. Instead, I was treated to a more peaceful dream. I dreamt I was just sprawled out in an ocean of colors without a care in the world. Maybe it was an embodiment of what my life had become: like a dream. Maybe it was just my mind trying to keep calm after a terrifying experience. But it was more than likely just a coincidental succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occurred involuntarily in my mind during certain stages of sleep. I awoke as I usually had, without my alarm clock, yet perfectly on time to get ready for school.The rest of the week was so calm by comparison to everything else that happened ever since I'd acquired my powers. I was just happy to get to see all of my friends, the girls that I'd gotten so very close and personal with, and to steadily build up my grades. All my teachers seemed to take notice, but I was still
All throughout eating my lunch, I couldn't stop thinking about my awesome powers. It didn't take very long before I started getting even more ideas. I had told Sarah that abusing my powers didn't interest me. But what if I used them to, say, help people instead? I started to think of myself as that superhero again, grinning in excitement. How cool would it be if I, I don’t know, could turn invisible? Yes! That would be so amazing! My mind began to flood with all kinds of possibilities of helping people while invisible. Imagine, sneaking into a house full of bad guys while they're planning a bank heist or something. I could alert the police and tell them everything and those guys would have no idea how they found out.I reached down to pick up some potato chips off my plate. That's when I noticed they were floating into my mouth. I gasped, dropping the chip back onto the dish and jumping up from my seat. I couldn't see my arms! Or my legs! It couldn't be! Could it?I quickly ran to the
I descended further, enough to keep well above people's heads while still being close enough to hear the chatter of hundreds of voices. I idly drifted by, wondering to myself how these people would react if they just looked up and saw me sailing like a kite overhead.I heard a woman talking to a friend as they reclined on their towels. "I told him, 'I don't want to hear it. We're through.'"I grinned, feeling a little mischievous eavesdropping on people."But dad," a little girl whined, "I wanna go in the water!""Not until I put your sunscreen on," her father replied.I kept on going, slowly passing over a small group of elderly people as they headed along the sand toward the water."I got fed up with that shit!" one of the old men said. "I'm not going to pay for extra rent in that dump!"Then, I came across a young couple starting to get a little frisky with each other. I was surprised enough by the sight to come to a complete stop. They were really starting to get into it. The youn
I headed to the outskirts of the city, looking out at the long rows of hotels and motels on the beach side and the small apartment complexes on the other side. As I flew near the bridge leading in and out of the city, I spotted something very colorful underneath it. I was curious enough to go and have a look.Upon closer inspection it was a very brightly-painted van parked in the shade under the bridge. And by 'brightly,' I mean decorated with huge, multicolored flowers and peace signs. It was a hippie van! I touched down a few meters away from it, realizing it was on and had music playing. Hits of the oldies, no less. I looked around carefully to make sure no one was around before making myself visible once again. I then inspected my body, patting myself, making sure I was all there before giving a nod of approval.I walked up to the van, curiously looking inside. There was a young woman with long, brunette hair laying down in the back seat. She was nodding her head to the song, quie
"I think you've got plenty here to get you to the nearest gas station," I said as I clamped the gas can nozzle shut."Sure am," she happily replied. "I don't really have anything to repay you with. I'd sure like to pay you back somehow.""It's fine. Like I said, I just wanted to help to get you back home.""Well," she said as she casually slithered her arms around the back of my neck, "you won't mind if I insist on repaying you, will you?""Oh," I replied in amazement before she planted a brief kiss on my lips and grinned. "Wow."She giggled. "You are pretty cute, you know and very helpful."To my surprise, she began leading me back toward her van with a mischievous look in her eyes. I was very intrigued as to where this was headed."You're really serious about this, aren't you?"She blindly opened the back door of the van where she'd been lounging earlier."Super serious," she replied with a big smirk as she tumbled back into the van. She laughed as she pulled me in with her, causing
"So... you really are time Gods?""If that is what you wish to see us as. For an infinite number of years, we have cared for and maintained the delicate fabric of time. We maintain every thread within its spool and we must act accordingly should we ever find knots.""I suppose I'm a knot then.""Correct. Many beings have attempted to elude time or to defy it. None have ever succeeded ... until you came to be. But you must understand that every time your power has been used, you have caused undue ripples in the fabric of time. Those ripples have recently begun to form tears. If you were to continue on, all of time itself would be completely disintegrated with your power."Sarah really did have a good idea when she asked if I would give it up. I'd have to thank her the next time I saw her."Then I'll just stop using it," I replied."A wise choice. But you see, we cannot go simply upon your words alone." I watched as the center one held its palm upward, creating a strange orb of light ov
