My special talent, though, is finding needles in haystacks. If you lose something tiny in an impossible place, I will find it, and pretty quickly. Recently, I 've found a tiny (eyeglasses) screw on a huge grey "sculptured" carpet, and a regular-sized bolt on a half mile stretch of road.
I'm like you monster- I can find anything lost on a whim. This is also my curse because it seems too uncanny that I could find a lost item so quickly. This makes it look like I misplaced it or tried to steal it....So I have decided only recently to quit helping.

This happened for the first time in memory when I was about 10, and I recovered my grandmother's wallet. (It was behind her drunk, I mean, wet bar) From that moment on I should have recognized that this kind of uncanny talent is a curse and could get me in trouble.....
:p
