Well, I finally went through with it.  The green vial rested on my desk as I considered the options.  On one hand, I could continue to live my father's life or I could finally make a change by taking the promicin.  Needless to say, I took it.  That was about 4 days ago.  Since then, something amazing has happened. 
     I was riding with my friend when I started thinking about how he could have missed this left turn we needed to take.  All of a sudden, I was seeing the road through his eyes!  I knew it was the promicin that was causing it but I didn't realize to what extent I could experience things.  I can use all their senses and even see their memories or daydreams if they start to picture them in their head as I am "overlapping" them (that's what I'm calling my ability). 
     But there is a bad side.  I was testing the limits of my ability when I overlapped someone I couldn't see.  Turns out, this person had a stomach flu.  As I was inside their head, I felt their upset stomach.  Somehow, because I still had a link to my own body, my body felt sick as well.  I told my body (I can control my body even though my focus is in another person's head) to rush to the bathroom to relieve my queasy stomach.
     This leads to a new set of questions.  What happens if someone gets hurt while I'm overlapping with them?  Since I feel what they feel, will I feel their pain as well?  If the person who I overlap is delusional, will I see their hallucinations?  This is all confusing.
