HIDDEN TRUTHS
(A Gifted Urban Fantasy Short Story)
Sometimes a gift can be a curse …
I should know. As one of thousands “lucky” enough to inherit the Gifted gene, I’ve spent most of my life trying to limit contact with the world around me.
For someone with the empath gift, every interaction has the potential to drown you – to submerge you in emotions so strong that it feels like you might lose yourself in them forever. I’ve lost myself many times.
But when my closest friend is viciously attacked, and a young boy with a unique gift is blamed, I have no choice but to embrace my ability; it’s the only thing that won’t lie to me. The only thing I can trust.
The safe little bubble I’ve created for myself is about to burst. And when it does, it won’t just be my world that’s changed forever.
