[ WP ] Your whole life you had an ability that seemed normal to you . Now you realized you 're the only one with this ability .

The human lie detector. That's what they call me. I've always skirted around what I do in interviews as frankly I did n't understand. Micro-expressions, nervous tics, word usage. These are the things I used to distract. I never realized the truth, not until my 100th case at the precinct. Number one crime solver, internationally recognized, Time magazine's man of the year. I helped put away rapists, murders, serial killers. Sometimes there was no evidence, I would ask leading questions like if the body was in a forest. From there the truth would be apparent from their lies. Sometimes we did n't find the evidence, but that was alright. They always confessed. I thought that being able to tell when people were lying was my ability, my place in the world. But I want you to think this through. If someone can tell if your lying, how do you not incriminate yourself? Do n't talk. Everyone knew about me yet they could n't resist talking to me. And that's when I realized I had put away countless innocent people. I was the liar, but everyone could n't help but believe me.
