I'm a special guy, no doubt. No one can do what I do. No one has the ability I have and if the government found out about what I can do, they'd probably lock me up to do thousands of experiments on me... and yet, I still manage to do everything wrong. Even with all the advantages anyone can possess and having the literal answers from the universe, I am absolutely lost. In fact, the universe and I have a rocky relationship and are in a constant fight. So, I hope you know that the universe is telling my story wrong. I am not a genius, I am not an innovative visionary and more importantly: I AM NOT GAY.

INTRO
Being impulsive and doing risky things is definitely NOT my thing. I'm shaking from head to toe, trying to ignore my inner voice begging me not to do this, reminding me of everything I'm going to lose… but at the same time, showing me everything I'm going to gain. The noise and mess in my head is so loud and irritating that it almost doesn't let me hear the words of the man in front of me. I have to pinch myself, take a deep breath and make use of all my mental capacity to focus on reality, ignoring the flashes of what awaits me."... And Charlie Lambert wants to meet you in person to discuss your ideas one on one. He's very impressed with you," my boss continues. Ex-boss, I guess. "So, would I have to travel to Chicago to talk to him?" I ask, even though I already know the answer. Sometimes I need verbal confirmation to make sure I'm not completely crazy."That's the detail I wanted to talk to you about," he begins, fiddling with my old contract in his hands as I sit in mine to s
Sheer Improbability The Denial
After I finish my nachos, I order a third strawberry daiquiri. Beau orders another dark beer at the same time, trying to smear his masculinity in my face, but no one else notices that. Samantha and Cain are too busy chatting about something in hushed tones. "How long will you reside here?" I ask just to avoid being in awkward silence. Beau turns to look at me with surprised eyes, as if he didn't expect to hear my voice at all. God, what an asshole. We're at a table together."I don't know. A couple of years, I guess," he answers in a distracted tone and squeezes his hand, making a fist. Again. Fuck, he really wants to hit me. Beau is a little taller than Cain and looks like he has muscles, which makes him bigger and stronger than me. If he decides to hit me, I think I could defend myself for a while, but in the end he'd win, "Are you guys close, you and Cain?""Yes, very. We don't see each other very often now that we're adults, but I've known his family and he's known mine since w

{ Pinky }I hate waiting while I'm alone in a public place and even more so if I'm waiting for Cain because no matter how many times we see each other in public, he's always late. And I'm always too early, but that's something I can't help. I also can't help noticing everyone's eyes on me, especially the eyes of that rude man who sat across from me just to judge me. As soon as he sat down, he gave me a one-second look and his face contorted as if he had never seen anything so disgusting in his life. Very obvious and evident. His fists on the table clenched as if he wanted to smash them into my face and he tried to look away so as to not be obvious, but he didn't succeed. Now my guard is on high alert and I'm ready for anything he might try to do to me.I know I attract attention wherever I go, I'm not stupid. My hair makes me stand out from others and I usually like that, but not when I'm alone in a bar full of men who might commit a hate crime against me just because of the color

My new office is a huge change from the old cubicle I used to have in Toronto. But to be fair, everything in this building is different from the one in Toronto. Better, newer, fancier. I like it. And I have no idea what my new duties will be, but I won’t bother to ask. It's not like I actually want to work anyway. I just want to be a lying parasite, collect my checks and have some fun. I have a big computer I can fool around on while pretending I'm doing something and a chair that spins around. I'm happy with that, that's all I need. Plus, my new best friend is only a hallway away and I can see him through the glass walls. This life couldn't be better. I've only known Cain for a few hours, but I can already see why he will be so important in my life. Always happy and pleasant, he's easy to like and love. And Sam just makes me feel better with her mere presence, she's my confidant and therapist when I'm feeling troubled, she’s my girl, my rock. I've always had decent friends, but

Samantha opens the door and enters the office first."Mister Claude has arrived," she announces like we're in a palace, then she gestures for me to come in as well. There are two men in the office waiting for me, both wearing full suits just like me. Thank goodness, I'm well dressed, "I'll be right outside if you need me.""Stay with us, Sammy," Charlie stops her with a casual tone and stands up to walk toward me. Imposing and just as tall as me, Charlie Lambert is a healthy man and he looks much, much younger than fifty two. He comes over to greet me with a hug, as if I'm as important as he is, even though just a couple of days ago I was a literal nobody, "It's a pleasure to meet the man behind the best idea I've heard in years.""Oh, that's very kind, Sir. Thank you for this opportunity," I reply and pat his back gently as he hugs me again. "This is my son, Cain," he says once he releases me and a near perfect copy of Charlie Lambert approaches us, greeting me just as effusively as

"This is my phone," the driver says, once he leaves my old suitcases inside this house that is worth more than me. Then he extends a card, "I’m at your complete disposal from seven in the morning to ten at night, unless it’s a special occasion. That's the boss's orders. I'll be here tomorrow morning at seven to take you to the office."I stare at the card for a few seconds and then at the driver's face. Samuel Michaels. My poor person's instinct is to tell him I don't need his services and I can find a way to get around on my own, but I have to remind myself that I'm starting a new life of luxury and comfort. So, I just smile at him and nod."Thank you, Samuel," I say and grab the keys he gives me before leaving. And when I turn to inspect the house, my head presents me with a series of images that I struggle to ignore, but cannot. I will live here for a long time next to a tall woman with long black hair and shiny brown skin. I squeeze my eyes shut and let out a cry of desperation

When I was seven years old, I had an 'hallucination' of my father being hit by a black car. I tried to warn him not to leave the house that morning, but he raised his hand to hit me on the cheek, yelled at me that I shouldn't say such things and he left for work, not believing me. A few hours later, we received a call from the police informing us that Frederick Claude had been run over before arriving at his office. He was dead. But of course, I already knew that. My mother didn't cry when she got the news, she just bent down to be at my level and grabbed my thin arms, burying her fingers, which I remember as claws."This was your fault," she said to me, in a low but clear voice. Her claws digging harder and harder into my arms, making me bleed and cry, "You put that idea into his head with your words, you made him hesitate and get run over. I hope you never forget that."After the funeral, she left me at her sister-in-law's house with two suitcases and a last cold stare, not a wo
