His Perfect Alibi

Mark was seventeen when he learned to control his special ability, and used it to smother his father as the man slept.

Unlike his father, Mark was a good daddy. But, now, Susan wanted sole custody of their son, Timmy.

After being served with papers from his soon-to-be ex's lawyer, Mark went to Susan's to protest her latest ploy, and was arrested for violating her restraining order.

It had been a few months, but Mark remained confident in his skill.

Appearing asleep on his jail cell cot, he coaxed his gossamer shadow from his body, floating unseen toward Susan's house.

He might as well make use of his perfect alibi.
