My brother is magical.
He has a magical memory; he remembers numbers, train timetables, phone numbers, calendars and the sequence of random of things (like the order of everyone's birthday.) He also has magical hearing, he can hear clocks ticking, blood rushing, normal sounds make the land shake like an earthquake. Another impressive ability is his magic touch; fibres in your jacket when they rub against your body can be a bit bothersome but he can feel every one! Super annoying for him sometimes. He also has magic language, he doesn't need the whole sentence, and his powers are so marvellous; he only hears the words he needs. Sometimes he gets a bit cross with the 'muggles' around him because they don't understand that he just needs to use the verbs and nouns! One of my favourite talents of his is his tremendous magical sight (there are two aspects to this.) He doesn't look at people's eyes or mouths when they speak; he has the ability to see their voice! He listens to speech with all his amazing sense organs! His enchanted sight is miraculous. (Magic sight part two.) When we look at objects we see the whole thing, he sees the little details. He can tell you everything about your ear (all the specifics you missed) and every last thing about a butterfly that hovers in the back garden! He can remember all the times on a bus timetable by looking just once. (He is really good at paying attention to little things like that.) The most astonishing power of his is that he has the ability to time travel! Sometimes he can slow down time (a bit like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve) a second seems like infinity but sometimes he can make 24 hours go by in a flash!!! He is also a spinner, a tornado that is swooping across, towns, cities, counties and even other planets far out in space! Astonishing. He can spin and spin and spin without getting even a little bit dizzy, he gets faster and faster every time he spins! It is not only himself he can spin he can also make cups, tables, thimbles and wheels all perfectly balanced and spinning - spin, spin all day long. He has splendid super swiftness just like the comic super hero Flash!! He runs at top speed faster than a cheetah, he runs, whoosh - catch him if you can. Sometimes he runs so hastily that he teleports from one place to another, amazing right? My brother is so fantastic that he can actually fly! He works his magic by flapping his hands and then suddenly he lifts up off of the ground. Better than this he can control light, he is bathed in light from the skies high above our world. He says that particles of dust pour down on him as he is flapping and working his super flying, his magic powers are amazing. My brother is magical, but other people call it Autism.
