The Thought Readers

Everyone thinks I’m a genius.


Everyone is wrong. 


Sure, I finished Harvard at eighteen and now make crazy money at a hedge fund. But that’s not because I’m unusually smart or hard-working. 


It’s because I cheat. 


You see, I have a unique ability. I can go outside time into my own personal version of reality—the place I call “the Quiet”—where I can explore my surroundings while the rest of the world stands still. 


I thought I was the only one who could do this—until I met her. 


My name is Darren, and this is how I learned that I’m a Reader.
