Holy bleep, Apperson, that was good! It was kinda like reading a furry adaptation of a Code Geass fanfic...
Thanks, Enigir. I basically took a few special power ideas, put them into a short list, and thought of a story for each of them. Mind control was by far the best one. After coming up with a basic outline for the plot, I thought to myself; "So I'm going to find out the power, and later escape the facility. Now how am I going to do this while causing as much chaos possible?" And beyond that it was pretty easy.
However, nitpicking my own work, it appears I left out the period at the end, so that just lost me some self-respect points, and I was wondering if the power I had is too OP? It's not as bad as being able to set people on fire at will, but certainly worse than being able to bend shadows.
