[ WP ] It 's been 3 months since you discovered your power to make people tell you the complete truth . How has your life changed ?

I plopped onto the lush couch and flipped on the TV. Price is right. why not I thought, and settled in. Outside my fancy hotel suite Washington D.C. buzzed with activity. How did it come to this I thought. 
 
 A few months back I woke up like normal and hit up the gas station for my morning soda, same as always. Idle chit chat with the Indian cashier, same as always. 
 
 `` how are you?'' 
 
 `` I'm high as a kite and this rash on my ass wo n't go away.'' His eyes grew wide and he blushed and gasped for air. Shocked I just accepted my change and left. Right outside a man was walking by and nodded. 
 
 `` What's up?'' I asked without stopping. 
 
 `` The sky, and all things elevated higher than us, also nothing much just out for a stroll'' 
 
 Okay that guy was a little too on the nose but whatever. There's always a few strange people in the city. At work that same day I received an email from my boss asking to see me. Into his office I strode. 
 
 `` You want something from me?'' 
 
 `` I want you to leave me the hell alone so I can continue to text Lisa about how I want to bend her over my desk!'' The words came out of his mouth in a rush. He had a face that can only be compared to someone who just realized they ate shit. He stammered and let me off work for the rest of the day. 
 
 Thus started the strange and utter deviation in my otherwise mundane life. I learned that when I ask someone a direct question they would respond with the truth. This sounds fantastic on the surface. But you know what they say: Curiosity killed the cat and do n't ask a question you do n't want an answer to. 
 
 Have n't you ever wanted to know how your wife or husband really felt. To ask them if they ever cheated or strayed, perhaps if they have any crushes. Do they fantasize about others while you have sex? Do n't ask questions you do n't want the answers to. I found this out the hard way. 
 
 So what do I do now? Well I tested this phenomenon. First I learned that if someone truly believes what they are telling you they can in fact speak a falsehood. They just do n't know it's a lie. No learning if God is real or not I'm afraid, only whether someone truly believes he does or not. Also asking someone something they do n't know gets you an I do n't know. 
 
 What to do with this power now that I have it fleshed out was my next thought. Justice of course! No one will believe me, I surely would be crazy to anyone who does n't have proof. But I do n't need to prove my powers. Just expose some of the wrongs in the world. 
 
 Cue the political world. A short time later I am at conference at my local university. The governor of my deep Red state was there to give a speech followed by Q & A. A few local channels were on standby to record it for the news. After waiting through the tediousness of it all I had a chance to ask my question 
 
 `` How much power and influence do the Koch brothers have on you and government as a whole?'' 
 
 Well you can imagine the shitstorm that brought on. It created a huge scandal in the following week and the governor was being portrayed as having a mental breakdown. Even so I was invited on a few news shows as the person who asked the question that broke the governor's mind. 
 
 I quickly skip over this dialogue in my mind as the only thing that really matters is that I created more scandal with every person i talked to. Then some sleuth from Reddit figured out that a post I created some time back when i first discovered my powers was from me and viola. The cat was out of the bag. It was n't long after that until they came. 
 
 Now here I am. In a fancy hotel suite in DC. There is a guard outside my door for my `` protection''. He does n't know crap. All he knows is that if I want something he procures it for me and I ca n't leave the hotel room. 
 
 Every once in a while they haul me out to some government building or other and hand me a list of questions. I walk into a small room. Ask whoever there the questions on the sheet and then I am whisked back to my hotel room. 
 
 It's time to spin the wheel on the price is right. I settle in and take a nap.
