That's a good one. This reminds me of a story I wrote once about a character who was never honest with himself and always acted out of impulse, saying the first thing that came to mind, agreeing and disagreeing with others for the sake of being part of the conversation, never looking deeply inside himself to find the truth. One day he was asked a very important question, one that he had always asked himself deep down and he decided to find the truth. He closed his eyes and thought about it, ignoring all the voices in his head that tried to answer for him until he found a voice that he couldn’t ignore. Without saying a word he thought This must be the truth. When he opened his eyes he saw his sisters face, the same girl who had asked the question smiling at him and said “that’s right”. That was the day he learned the truth. She could read his mind. In fact, everybody could. From that day forward he never lied ever again.

Reply to [WP] You have the peculiar ability to pause time. Nothing can move, including yourself, meaning all you get is time to think. Today you find yourself paused with a bullet right in front of your eyes. by Votbear
