He claimed he could look into our eyes and forage for hidden secrets within our minds.

‘Prove it’ we’d say. He’d shake his head, smile an inscrutable smile and say ‘don’t worry I’ll keep it to myself’.

We didn’t know what to make of him.

I know it sounds silly, but whenever I encountered him I’d try clearing my mind, just in case.

But yesterday day he squinted at me and I shivered.

To my cost, I’ve discovered our doubts were unfounded.

    No doubt he’d want to keep his “readings” to himself, since most people upon hearing such a claim are apt to think some rather uncharitable thoughts about him. 😉

    Ooh, I love that: ‘Our doubts were unfounded.’ Chilling. Imagine what a person could do with a ‘skill’ like that! Or maybe not!

    A gift or a curse? Given our fellow human general stupidity I’d say who wants to know what they are thinking? (:

    Wouldn’t it be fascinating to be able to read the thoughts of others? Like the use of forage, Keith.
