Years after an accident in his Teen years gives Matt the ability to push his ideas into other people's minds
Some time in the late 80s or early 90s...
Matthew Thomas is by all accounts and average man. 6 foot 1 inch, 180lbs, dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes.
Around 4 years ago he and his father moved to this sleepy suburb in the shadow of a great city on the East Coast of the country.
Matt and his father lived in the second and third floor of a triple decker apartment building. There was one woman who lived below that Matt thought was a prostitute.
Matt's father worked during the day and was at his girlfriend's house after work. He left Matt money for food and in case of emergency.
While setting up his TV and gaming console Matt touched an exposed wire knocking him out instantly.
When he woke up he had smoke from his finger and toes. Blood from his ears and nose. He heard a low hum in his head the only got louder when he concentrated.
When he told his father he was dismissed and told to pay better attention.
First Instance...
Matt went down to the hot tub in the back yard. After a few minutes his neighbor went outside "Allright out of the tub, I'm having a 'friend' over" she bellowed with a tone of annoyance.
"Shut up, go back in your house and don't bother me again" Matt yelled back. He braced himself for a rebuttal.
The fight over the building owned hot tub had been going on since they moved in.
She turned around without saying anything and went back to her apartment. Matt laughed to himself if he knew all it would take was to be forceful he would have done it ages ago.
The hum In Matt's head had grown louder for a few minutes when he yelled be hadn't realized it until she was gone. Matt went back inside. He had a headache.
One day in Bio class, Matt came upon 2 jocks teasing and punk girl. The two football players were making fun of Nikky. Nikky had gone from a denim jacked warm smile freshman to a girl with short spiky bleach blonde hair, a nose ring, ripped jeans, a barbed wire necklace,and a spiked leather jacket.
The two jocks were loudly calling her Satan and laughing loudly. "Maybe you two shouldn't use his name like that. You should be afraid " Matt said calmly. Nikky stuck her tongue out with a "yeah" and a wide smile. The two jocks ran in fear and didn't return to school for a week.
"Thank you so much" she said with a smile. All Matt could think was he really wished she went back to dressing like she did last year before excusing himself to go to the bathroom, he has the worst migraine.
