The Mind Reader

Many people have wanted to read minds.

Some people have resorted to creating idols that can do what they wish that they could do, it's kind of barbaric when you think about it.

My name is Tony, I used to think it would be pretty cool to read minds...

My therapist, Dr. Reich, said that it's a common thing to dream about reading minds, he said that I might be lucky and maybe I'd eventually be able to read minds...

Sadly, I got what I wished for...

I was a normal guy, I had an office job, a house one hour away from that job, a dog, a cat, a divorced wife, you know, the usual. I had always admired the superheroes in comic books, they all got their powers when they could have lived without them, and they served justice, despite the fact that they had been cursed. My favorite power was mind-reading, I thought it would have been cool to read minds, hear all of the ideas of everyone around me, if only I had known.

One night in September, I was sleeping with my soon to be divorced wife, when suddenly I heard some weird noises in my sleep. I didn't hear them through my ears, I heard them in my mind.

The noises were things like in my wife's voice, "I'm gonna divorce his ass! He doesn't even have a burnt face which is super hot like Jeff the Killer!", and in my dog's voice, "WHY WON'T THEY FEED ME! THEY'VE ALWAYS JUST STARVED ME TO DEATH! THEY DON'T EVEN FEED ME LUNCH! WOOF WOOF!", I was terrified, I thought it was just a horrible nightmare, so I woke up, and the sounds kept on going, I couldn't stop them, I started screaming, desperately trying to stop the noises, I started screaming, "MAKE THEM GO AWAY!", and then the voices changed to in my wife's voice, "Oh no! He's gone insane!", and in my dog's voice, "THE ABUSER HAS WOKEN UP!".

In the morning, my wife scheduled an appointment with my therapist, Dr. Reich, but the noises didn't stop.

I barely could function since my body was overwhelmed, I almost vomited every once in awhile.

We went to Dr. Reich around 7-8 AM.

My wife left...

Dr. Reich came to see me around 9 AM. He was German, he said, "So vho do ve have vhere? Oh it's Vony! Vhat var you here?"

I said, "I've been hearing some strange noises in my mind, and I can't get them to stop!"

Dr. Reich said, "Vhat var the voices saying?"

I said, "They've sounded like the people that I'm near..."

Dr. Reich, "Vhat is vont good. I vill have to vave some MIR scans..."

That was the last thing I remembered before it happened...

I woke up to the sound of a metal door opening, I looked at my surroundings, I had no clothes on except a patient robe, I was in a pure white room, it wasn't padded, and there was a barely padded bed in the corner.

I looked at the door and saw that Dr. Reich was standing there.

"Vello, Vony! Vi'm glad vaht you woke up."

I screamed, "WHAT AM I DOING HERE!", the voices stopped.

"Vi vas the vone who made vyou have the voices. I heard you're dream, vanyone who had voices in their head is givin to me, vand I needed more test subjects, vand vyou vere perfect."

"Now vets get testing, you still vave 50 years to do this."
