Touch

by D.M. Rasey


I’m certain, sooner or later, everyone wishes for capacities that are resolved to be superhuman. So individuals searched for quite a long time, attempting to figure out how to make that conceivable. However, nobody has succeeded, as they regularly face devastating disasters. Thus, I understood the best spot to begin looking at currently would be outside that box. I read for quite a long time, each newspaper, tabloid or magazine story I found to be abnormal.

I talked with everybody from Nashville, Tennessee, to Brunswick, Maine. Be that as it may, not one of them could demonstrate their capacities under (controlled research center conditions) were anything more than a fantasy or unrealistic daydream. So, I had reached wit’s end, after working each day with wackos, weirdos, and the unadulterated insane. Until an unprompted visit to one of Berkeley’s old teachers gave me some comfort as he had stunning news.
Through a former colleague’s courtesy, he met a 16-year-old girl with some fascinating attributes. Naturally, I was cynical too say the least after first learning about her and her so-called capabilities. Nonetheless, playing a grainy low-quality video on his barely-functioning iPhone helped gain my confidence.
She was unique in the sense, however, she didn’t want people to know. Nor did her guard-dog-father, who constantly hovered over her, not wanting her abilities exploited. So I knew this wouldn’t be a walk in the park. Especially after so many years and so many failures. I thought this kid’s my Hail Mary, and if she wasn’t, I was done.
Because, after my wife found out that I was burning through my inheritance and maxing out our credit cards, she left as I expected she would, but it was a wake-up call. However, I also realized my publishers wanted proof, and without it, they wouldn’t take my book. But they would take back the $20,000 advance they gave me…
So, Elizabeth was my last hope.
