“Woah. Do it again!” Tyler said.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because, It is tiring.”
“You don’t seem tired.”
“Fine, then! Watch.”
I held up a hand, and closed my eyes.
For a slit second, the breeze turned into a rushing wind then, there was none. We look down from the highway bridge, and the headlights from the cars were just streaks.
“Oh….My…God….” He breathed.
He jumped up, and just floated down.
“You even slowed down gravity!?”
“Apparently so.” I smiled.
I swished my hand in the air, and everything was put back in motion again.
For a couple of seconds my breath was taken from me, then my breathing was inhumanly accelerated. Then I returned to normal.
“You okay?” Tyler said, gawking at me.
“I don’t even know anymore.” I said.

    Neat moment between friends, the gawking admiration of freak status rather than fear, which I think is cool. And an impressive creative leap from the picture as well. I liked the last line—very real reaction to the new freak status.

    This is awesome. I hope someday I’ll be able to have a similarly awkward coming to grips with my new mutant ability kind of moment too.
