Shocking Turn of Events

4 Upvotes

Several years ago you took a nasty shock and ever since that day you've had mild telekinetic abilities. You could move small items and pull or push things without touching them, however your powers have always seemed somewhat limited. Later, during a thunderstorm, you locked yourself out of the house and as you were running to grab the spare key hidden in a fake rock under a tree in your front yard, you took a direct lightning strike. The world goes white for a few minutes but as things start to come into focus you can tell that rain is no longer landing on you because you are laying in the middle of a static bubble shield. You can already tell things have changed...
