The Empath (The Above And Beyond Series book 1)
“Why not give them to someone, anyone but me? Why me? Why? I hauled the remains from the kitchen out into the yard and bellowed at the sky. “What the hell do you want from me?”
I slumped down next to the rubble, feeling so empty, so tired. What was the point in giving someone like me superpowers? I couldn’t use them, I didn’t know what to do. Why not endow a world leader or someone who counted with them? Why me? Who the hell was I?
“You’re no one,” I told myself.
I sat staring at the pile of rot...ted wood as though it represented my life. I was in a daze, and I don’t often feel that way. I keep going, I don’t even know why half the time but I do. Right now, though, I felt like asking the point of it all.
Everyone else seemed to play at life on an easier level—settling down, raising kids, a career, and vacations in the sun, laughter, happiness, friendship. It all seemed a given to them, some more than others. I felt like I was playing life on nightmare level. Everything I wanted to do, even the simple things were guarded by twenty-foot walls and the snarling hounds of fate.MoreLess
