Chapter Three

As I stood in the shower, letting the hot water wash over me, I thought about how much sex I had had during the day. Four times so far. So far! God, that in itself was an incredible thought. Beyond the thought of how swiftly my life had changed, was the thought that usually I masturbated at most 4 times a day. It seemed my stamina had gone up. Working through the logic of it was a relatively easy task for me now. I needed more power, so my body adapted the necessary requirements to facilitate this. This wasn’t a conscious thought. So, I was operating on an instinctual level. Some part of me knew there was a threat out there. A threat I needed me to gain strength quickly to combat. It all added up rather easily to me; The Enemy. My body’s response, along with the theft from my mother’s car and then the warning of the night before. I had been thinking there would be more time to adjust myself to the Power and my new life. Perhaps that assumption was wrong. Would it come to a physical confrontation? Or perhaps something more spiritual or abstract, like a propaganda pogrom against me?

Standing there under the water I sent out my awareness. I probed in a large swath directly in front of me, in order to take in more minds farther away. Then turning, I did a full scan of the area, making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary or any strangers. There was a teenager who had snuck into one of the neighbor’s daughter’s bedrooms, the two were sneaking a cigarette and awkwardly flirting. Other than that, there was nothing amiss. At least nothing I could sense. I went to the first mind near me. The neighbor’s wife Mindy. I planted in her a subtle command to look out the window every couple hours or so, whenever she was home and except when she was sleeping. Then moving around the neighborhood from mind to mind I did the same. I adjusted the times for each so that there should always be a person monitoring the streets, leading to my house, for suspicious activity. When people would be sleeping or where there were gaps to fill I tapped into animals. It took a lot longer to explain to the smaller more primitive minds what it was I desired, but eventually I got through. The last and final step was to tie the whole web together with lines of Power. So that if anyone did notice something I would be made aware. One of the strands from my great web sending me a warning.

I came to myself then and realized I had been standing still in the shower for over an hour, my focus elsewhere, my hands and feet wrinkled. Then I beheld what I’d worked with the Power. The enormity of it stunned me. For 6 blocks in every direction I had built a security system.
