    I sometimes wish I had the ability to let someone briefly feel what I'm feeling in a given moment, like when I'm sick, sad, angry, happy etc (things that are hard to explain). It would so easily remove those moments where people don't get where the other is coming from. Like instead of saying, "No you don't understand, it's like this.......", I could just say, "here let me show you." and then take their hand or something. This would also be amazing for when I go to the doctor. "So, what might be the problem?" I reach out and take their hand, "Here let me show you."

      You can only do this when you are exactly 2 kilometers away from the intended recipient.

        Haha that could lead to some rather weird situations...

        "Just hold on, I have to show you what I mean." Runs off in the opposite direction. "HEY WHAT THE HELL, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

        Or..

        "Seriously Wenjarich, you need to stop making me know what your condition is on your way to my office. Last time I was consulting a patient and almost threw up on them!"

      Your power is forced empathy. Every time you use they take a memory of yours with them. completely at random. Could be harmless or your most embarrassing moment.

        ooohhh....I like this, would actually have some story potential but I would add that they literally take the memory as in, you no longer have it. It's usually only a couple of minutes of memory but that can add up if you do it enough times. Plus you have no idea what you have lost seeing as you can't remember it anymore.

          That works! You give and they take. Also, the amount of time in the memory seems unnecessary just what the actual experience is. So if it's vital to who you are as a person it's lost forever.

              I request an executive producer credit if it cones to fruition.

              Haha, sure, however, it'll be a the most prestigious credit you'll get. Your Snapzu name written in a word document saved inmy dropbox file for short stories :P
