It was so hard back then, you see? And you have to remember that I was the first. There had never been anything like me before. When my powers, gifts, abilities....curse, whatever you want to call it. When it first happened, man were people freaking out. I was called everything. Some people thought I was the devil, others thought I was the next step in human evolution. Everyone had an opinion, and it was everywhere! I mean how could it not be, this was back when the Internet was still like the wild west and media was still free and reported the truth. Before The Fall. Before The Reclamation. Your grandparents were lil tykes when I first started with all this so thats where I will start my story.

They couldn't of been no more than six, and they wanted to go to the park and get an ice cream. Well I had spent a week working at the reactor site and I could use some ice cream too. So we stopped at this little place right by the park. You know how things just start a little bad then avalanche? Well thats what happened. And it got bad quick. You ever get aggravated with people? I mean in general? And when you people watch you do that thing where you raise your fore finger and thumb to your eye so that when you look at a person it looks like their head is in between your fingers and then you imagine, "squish". When your playing the game you never really think it will happen. Well it did and thats how I discovered I was telekinetic. Why do you think they call me melon popper? I mean it messed me up! I wasnt right for years. Till they found another.....
