There’s this guy named “Alan” and here is his life story.

So Alan is a young boy that is 20, he has a blessed family but Alan was annoyed with one thing. He has bad luck, But one thing that made almost EVERYTHING change. What happened was he found mind reading cool. He researched hard and finally found something he was interested in. He decided to try it on his mom and let’s say it went well, TOO well.

He did it too easily, it felt like they had traded minds, then he decided to try it on his dad without sitting together. so he said “lock in a color in your mind, I’ll guess what it is”. He managed to actually do it again: he guessed the color cyan, his dad said “correct! That’s impressive.”

So then he found out he could read minds and decided to mess with his friends. One of his friends named Damien met at the park then, he read his mind and he found out something awful. He didn’t want to be friends with him any more because he just used him to have free food and others. He didn’t actually expect confirmation of this suspicion when he asked, “Do you actually not want to be friends anymore?”

Damien responded saying, “Yeah, of course! You were so boring. I just used you! Such a fool, lol!” Alan looked teary and depressed but didn’t want to show it. He just ran home and when he arrived, he went into his room and slammed the door then cried hardly he has ever cried. His fake friend Damien knew he was sensitive so he thought that was lame and ditched him.

After crying for hours he finally had an appetite to eat dinner after his mom called him 2 times. After that he went to sleep. But he barely did because he was thinking so much about the trauma he had, luckily he did get to sleep. He just cried himself to sleep, and couldn’t wake up sooner. He didn’t have an appetite to eat breakfast either, he instead only ate lunch and dinner. After days he finally forgot and became happy again.

Next day, he decided to take his dog Akari to the dog park. He read Akari’s mind since he kept barking at something near the tree. Akari was trying to tell him it was a loose dog without a collar that wasn’t trained and furious. He immediately ran away from what Akari told him.

His life was very good after one time, he now knew that sometimes mind reading can be fun, useful. It can also reveal what needs to be revealed. He learned his life lesson and it’s true.
