Be All That You Envy — Larry Gent

My name is Benedict Thompson and I'm a superhero. With one touch I can see that object's past. I can see who used that pen before you, I can see what went into making that shoe and I can see everything that happened in that hotel room or that public washroomNot every power is a blessing. Ever since Ben returned home from Iraq Ben hasn't been the same. He'd seen horrifying things, had his leg pumped full of shrapnel and watched his friends vanish before his very eyes. Now he lives alone, shut off from his family, with only his TV to keep him company.This changes when two government men show up at his door and demand his help for national security.Now Ben is thrown into a world of government lies, espionage and worse still, he might miss supper and Ben HATES missing supper.
