[ WP ] You possess an ability to turn off one or more of your senses to heighten the others . Today is the day you make a mistake .

I enjoyed reading articles about the modern understanding of sensory functions. I understood quite intimately how these senses worked. Ever accidentally turn off your monitor and freak out about how to fix it? When I was young, I had done this with my own eyes. My childhood was traumatic, but I have grown more powerful and wise now that I know so much more about this ability. 
 
 I can turn off a sense to improve other senses. Still, this was merely used as a hobby. I would watch films in silence. I would often avoid the smell of my backyard while working outside. I also had two amazing dogs that were dear to me, but they do make a mess. I also can fake being drunk really well, by disabling my balance. 
 
 I was, admittedly, getting more ambitious and risky in my use of my ability. I pushed the button on the traffic light pole. I then turned off my eyes. Traffic was light, but it was a real thrill crossing the street blind. My other senses enhanced almost immediately. 
 
 I could smell the food from the family restaurant on the corner. I could hear the conversations across the street. I could taste the air which was light with pollution. I heard walking and a car stopping. I had asked the city to add a sound for safe crossing. I could manage OK without it, however. At first, I heard was a soft scrape of rubber on concrete. I had little time to guess how fast it was or where it was. I really wished electric cars were louder.
