"I Lift Things Up And Put Them Down"

During the course of what seemed to be an ordinary day, I became aware of the fact that I had telekinesis - giving me the power to levitate myself and other objects, by thought. Needless to say, I was completely in awe of this, and just went around levitating any and everything I could. One of the first things I did was pull out my cellphone and record a video of me picking up some small object, like a pen, and making it hover over my hand. Even with this footage, though, I knew that people weren't going to believe it was authentic, so I decided to go around and show everyone that I could, for fear that I would lose the ability, somehow. I walked around the house to show some of my family, which included my old best friend's sister, from Houston. No one really had time to watch, though, and everyone pretty much just went on about their busy lives, without giving me any of their time. It was kind of disheartening, but I just shrugged it off.

Later, I was at work, which was a cross between the place I work now, the telemarketing place I'd recently left, and my old neighborhood. We were all clowning around the office - chasing each other and throwing things across the room. While chasing a group of girls through this surreal maze of cubicles and hallways, I decided to show off my new power real quick. When one of the girls turned a corner to go down the parallel hallway, I simply levitated myself into the air, hovering over the top of the cubicle wall, and floating down to the floor, directly in the path of the girl. Her eyes grew wide with fear. She stared at me for a short moment and then began to freak out, as if I was some kind of demon. Soon, she was hyperventilating, and trying her damndest to crawl away from me. Again, I just shrugged her off and went on about my business.

Shortly after this, some other co-workers had become interested in my ability, so I started going some parlor tricks, levitating random objects like lighters and pens and stuff, causing them to stick to my hands as if I had magnetic palms. Finally, I had gotten someone to pay attention to my awesome new ability, and I spent a while just wowing everyone with my power.
