It talks to me. I have the spatial recognition part of my intelligence extremely developed (too much?). Sometimes, all these bits and pieces put together trigger an alarm inside me. It sometimes takes time for me to understand exactly why. Others cannot see it right away, and sometimes do all they can mentally not to see it as it attacks their perception of the world.

I have this recurrent dream. I am in a shopping center, everyone is shopping, normal life. But, the building is in bad shape. Then, the earth shakes, massive roar coming from outside. Everyone stops briefly, only to resume as if nothing had happened.

I pop my head outside and see a massive Kaiju destroying the city.

I rush inside and alert everyone of what is happening. They all look at me like I am crazy.

I rush to my father who is near a fridge in the grocery store. “Dad, outside, a monster destroying everything.” He looks at me for a beat. Then says “look, they have snappers today”
