Book – The question
Nairb’s Stories
One morning, Nairb was roused from sleep by his coworker honking their car horn when they pulled up to take him to work. At the office, he finds himself in a series of strange circumstances. He was bewildered, and eventually explained his experiences to Grace, his wife.
He uncovered he can heal, ignite, interfere with electronics that release thick smoke, heat objects, and turn metal into liquid.
Nairb uses his powers to heal people during the story, sets his house on fire, melts a car, and evades the authorities with Jim’s help.

I swing quickly around the bed to grab my socks, pants, and shirt from the floor. Dashing to the kitchen, I almost slipped on the new hardwood floor. I grabbed a cup from the wooden table that had leftover coffee from yesterday; I took a sip, staining my shirt as I drank too quickly.
I don’t have time to change. I hurry back to the bedroom and kiss my three-month pregnant wife, Grace, on the forehead while she’s still sleeping like I do every morning….
