1 Awakening

As far as I can remember, in the history of humans on EeeArths, our ancestors had the ability to control things with their thoughts, break boulders with their fingers, etc. So why in the hell am I the only one to yet have my own ability?!

The minimum age at which one would awaken their ability is the age of five and the maximum was at ten. Yet here I am, in my mid-twenties, belly button under my tightly stretched shirt, and 4 foot 5. Yeah, I know the second reason is my fault, but why am I the only one among my peers whose yet to awaken?

John with his pyromancy and Levi with his insanely high resistance to poison.

" Umm... Hello, can you check out my stuff faster" the Impatient customer insisted.

'Oh yea, sorry I was just monologing (Beep...Beep...Beep)

...

Fhwuu!...haw...

Cough! Cough!

'Jesus... Mary, you got to stop blowing that in my face. ( Cough)

" Oh shut it, Nate, It ain't that bad" Mary would roll her eyes.

'Je, just asking.

Mary is my manager, she would always during the resupply and break time, smoke four cigarettes. Now I know you are wondering how she is not coughing up a storm and having a raspy voice. Well, her ability is that she is able to store any kind of smoke in her body and then release it either in a thicker form or lighter form.

So her body is immune to the bad side effects of smoking. Essentially she is a human smoke machine that could smoke a dozen steaks in a few seconds. That's why our smoked salmon is the best seller.

' Well, see you in the morning guys

.....

Lying flat on my wood floor, focusing on the water droplet on the ceiling. Trying my best to follow the so-called ways to awaken through an empty-mindedness and total focus. After a few minutes of silence and disappointment, I crawled back onto my bed.

Contemplating the many memories in which I followed methods that I knew were fake, but still followed through because of my stubbornness.

Ring...Ring...Ring

'Hello?

" Nathen, how are you son?

'Oh dad, I'm doing fine, just the usual you know.

" Son, if... If you need money just ask, okay?

' I know dad, I know

"It seems like you're tired so, I'll let you too it then.

Beep...

Hah... I'm sorry dad, for being such a useless son. Walking towards the balcony, I stared into the empty abyss of space. Like the one star separated from the others, I was different, yearning to be just like them.

Unlike those who accepted their fates of not being able to awaken, I yearned and fought to be one. I guess today I have to let that dream go. It's time to grow up and finally accept that I will forever be part of a normal society.

About to turn around and head back inside, I stopped dead in my track, staring into a translucent hovering message box.

Tears streamed down my chubby cheeks nonstop. Clenching my heart, I could not stop the relief of having finally lost the heavy weight on my heart for so many years.
