The Secret Power

Our protagonist at a low point in his life when he acquires a small power. Not a giant super power but a small whiff of something which could give him an advantage over everyone else. A small telekinetic power is bestowed upon him. It first appears to be inconsequential but becomes a major influence. But all things come with a price and learning to use his power and deal with the everyday things in life comes with many trials. With his new power comes new perceptions which he must integrate into his existing view of the outside world. The ability to sense objects behind him and out of visual range with a textural clarity becomes central to his new life. Skills as basic as driving his car have to be relearned. Interaction with others must be conducted carefully. Disclosure doesn't appear wise, even to his best friend and co-worker. Loosing his job and remaining financially solvent become his prime concerns. Ultimately the power becomes an ally which he has to manage.
