In a World Where Telepathy Reigns It's the year 2050, 12 years after scientists discovered cognitive use of 100% of the human brain. Since then, humans have been able to do certain 'tricks' with only their willpower. Certain uses of the brain, such as Telekinesis and Telepathy have created a new power-based hierarchy, and not just a few wars. The fact that every human doesn't have the same amount of power doesn't help. When Telepathy was uncovered, scientists discovered that every human has a 'bondmate'; someone born at the exact same time as them, and this timing enforces a similarity of power, and instant connection of their telepathy. Each person can feel their bondmate at all times, and this often caused problems for those with sadistic mates. Each mate-pair is one boy and one girl, and if they found each other, they often stayed and married that person. Not everyone found their mate, though. The rise in suicide rose due to depression of never seeing that person, and the population fell by half. The World now only contains 3.5 billion people, and the standard of living rose. These days, many parents go to find their child's bondmate immediately, and most succeed. I was one of those children. I was raised in a joint family between me and my bondmate. Her name is Amanda, mine is John, but most of the time we are just "we". Because of our early connection, we are closer than a brother and sister, and have our lives to show it. …the next moment changed everything
