I can see electricity. I don't mean electricity as in lightning and sparks but the actual electrical current going across a wire.

I didn't realize this was even a talent until I got to grade school. It was 2nd grade science class and we were doing a circuitry experiment (I was very advanced for my age). The teacher asked us a question about how to tell if electricity was flowing through a wire without something like a lightbulb indicating that the wire was active. I thought it was an easy question, it was obviously whether or not the wire was glowing blue (electricity is blue btw, in case you were wondering). When I said that everyone looked at me like I was saying something crazy, then the teacher moved on and showed us how we could see it using a compass. It was the first time I noticed that other people couldn't view it like that.

Over the years I learned more and more about my gift and eventually went into electrical engineering in college. My gift made it very easy for me to understand electrical energy and I graduate Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0. I now have a prestigious position at one of the top electrical companies in the world (I'll let you guess which, but I'm sure you already know.)


Oddly enough, if Westinghouse didn't bury Tesla's idea for wireless power, we'd never have any sort of portable electronics, radio, television, radar, GPS, computers or any of the trappings of modern society because anything "electronic" would induce the current and fry. Anything with any length of wire coming off of it would be live.
