1. Chapter 1

-Chapter 1: Concerning Telekinesis-

Telekinesis- /tel-e-ki-ne-sis/ - The supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means.

This specific sort of hidden ability of the mind has been talked about in literature, television, films, and have been researched by scientists everywhere.

The first time I've ever been exposed to such a power was in the first published novel of a master of terror who went by the name: Stephen King. The book was called 'Carrie'. It was about a misunderstood girl who discovers she has this power and uses it to take revenge on her tormentors and her mother on her prom night. King's books have questioned physics and science by discussing hidden powers of the mind, like in his other great novel, 'The Shining'.

But not only has this been mentioned before in Stephen King's literary works, but in the works of comic book writer Stan Lee, creator of the 'X-men' comic series. The main antagonist of the series, Magneto had telekinetic abilities and used them to commit great acts of evil to the humans and other mutants around him.

In a Sci-Fi action movie called 'Push' that was released in 2008, the main character is shown to have the ability of telekinesis. But there are others in that movie with that specific power as well, the called themselves 'Movers' as a simple way to describe what kind of power they had.

I thought I was the only one who had this extraordinary power, I thought I was alone. Now, I have been able to meet another who carried the power to move things with just their thoughts. Now I know the ultimate bearer of this gift, in the form of a spunky, trouble-making girl who always took pride in wearing a pink wool beanie. That little girl's name was Edith Gru. She was about eight or nine years old at the time. We met when her father, a former villain by the name of Felonious Gru called me to discuss this gift his adopted daughter had inherited from her birth family before being sent to live with her cruel and abusive caretaker.

My name is Shinigamilover2. But in this story, you may call me... Hayden. Hayden McClain is my name. I was a young writer, eighteen years old to be exact, that had just finished my latest book and searched for inspiration for a new one. I was also a teacher at a special school which housed and sheltered kids with special powers and taught them how to harness them. When I wasn't writing or teaching, I researched about those hidden powers of the human body, and of the human mind. Those were what the books I wrote were normally about. When mister Gru had called out to me after reading my book, and learning one of his three adopted daughters had an extraordinary talent.

The story I am about to tell you may, as I would normally say 'Tinker with your mind' and expand your view on reality and the world. Once this story is completed, please look at the world in a way far more different than you see it now. Telekinesis is a power that can be possible when it has been passed on from a family member or ancestor, or if you have walked out of a rather strange event where this just happens and you didn't know how it had happened yet.

The year was 2014, January to be precise. Winter was coming to a close and everyone was heading back to school or college to finish up their fall semesters and begin the spring semester. This all happened after an encounter with a crude and reckless bully on the playground of an elementary school, that my dear readers is where our story begins.
