Why I Do Such Things

As the sameness of my work and environment closed in on my mind and soul, feeding the now formidable flames of my cynicism and disaffection, I knew something had to be done. Something life-changing.

When that didn't work, I started moving to bigger things, such as chairs, or people. I concentrated very hard on using whatever force I could summon to move these various objects, however if was to no avail. I tried a different tactic. It seems that telepathy can not only refer to moving object with one's mind, but also communicating with another person. After giving small tasks in my head to those sitting near me failed, I decided that my telepathic abilities must be dormant. I'll try again next year.
