Secrets

"Here is your coffee, Master," Alyssa's voice interrupted my thoughts as I reclined on the couch. After everything that had happened, I needed a moment to catch my breath and collect my thoughts. 

Fortunately, the drum didn't explode, and we successfully sealed off the basement. To prevent any suspicious odors from escaping and alerting the neighbors, I found an inflatable pool and a hose in the basement. 

Then , I used them to direct the flow of air so that instead of the hydrofluoric acid fumes, the water in the pool bubbled, concealing any unusual smells. 

All of these solutions would have been impossible to come up with if not for my skills. I now fully appreciated how valuable and powerful my skills could be. Individually, they might not seem that impressive, but when combined with the adrenaline rush and the need to think on my feet, I found myself capable of generating ideas and solutions I wouldn't have considered in my everyday life.
