Summary: 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 hardworking. 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.
