Thinking Fast And Slow Novels & Stories

He is swift, making people feel like he doesn't need to think, just reacting out of habit. 'Ace...' Her lips moved slightly, staring at the document on the desk that was constantly shrinking. This was the work she had to do today, at least half an hour, but Ace probably only needed 10 minutes. After all, what's going on? She is not dreaming. Blinking his eyes a little, Ace's speed seemed to get faster and faster, evidently adept at this. Is his mental strength a problem? If that's the case, then how did he do this? Why is he so bright?

“This was done by engineers who took a correspondence course in anatomy.” I let that percolate. Elky decided the silence needed more bad news. “OK. When you’re threatened,” he went on, “when somebody’s gunning for you—not just loud, not just sore, but ready to punch your ticket—your brain drops into something else. Your focus sharpens like a razor. Pain backs off. Your reaction time could beat a rattlesnake. And your rage—” He stopped. I raised an eyebrow. “You’re describing my quiet Tuesday,” I said.

PETER The human nervous system is an incredibly inefficient electrical matrix. It relies on chemical synapses that travel at a maximum velocity of one hundred and twenty meters per second—a sluggish, prehistoric latency that introduces catastrophic delays when a variable demands an immediate, kinetic response. My brain does not suffer from latency. 5:48 PM.

“Tell me what you're thinking.” “I’m thinking about how much I want to bury myself deep inside you,” I confided, starting to rock my hips back and forth and coating my entire length with her wetness before lowering a bit and aiming right where I wanted to be. “But we'll take it slow, okay? I want to savor this moment to remember it my entire life, Vivienne.” Her lips parted, but no sound escaped from them. Her eyes narrowed and didn't leave mine as I started to fuck her slowly, inch by inch. Her vaginal walls parted to welcome me into her warm, wet interior until I was finally fully buried in her.

So we have to pay for air to be transported around the country in order to fool us that we are getting a good deal. 'Have you ever noticed that local stores have essentially the same layout and never change it? Supermarket chains on the other hand, change their layout regularly, to disorientate us. As we search for the eggs, we are forced to look at things we don’t want, but may buy on impulse. It doesn’t matter how poor the customer is. Screw the maximum out by fair means or foul.

No stupid, he said face to face, as using our mind link will make this worse! I chastise myself, blaming the lack of sleep for my dumbing down lately as I slide trough the kitchen unseen and get to the back-porch door in record time. Getting used to my new speed and zipping around when you don’t want to be seen is the perfect practice. I’ve stopped bumping into things and tripping over my own feet in hyper speed mode, but I haven’t yet mastered how not to get breathless. It takes it out of me after a short sprint.

Even if his brain was slow, he wouldn't care as long as his reaction speed and movements were fast! In his own words, 'Screw brain tests and all the scheming b*tches and bastards in the world! All they know is to run their brains! Countering this shameless bunch is not by being intelligent too, but by being faster than them! While they are still hatching ways to kill me in their minds, I must already run towards them to kill them or run away to not be killed by them!'

A routine action. Just information. Just clarity. The page loaded. Slowly. Carefully. And what I saw, …blew my mind.

I was lighting speed before, I almost thought I had a photographic memory. But now, I was barely hanging by a thread. “Jeez, Pentium 1. Even worse actually,” I mumbled. I berated myself because I had to go over a single document for the third time in the last hour just to get the gist of it. My mind just isn’t downloading the information.

I said. Kaiden nodded. “Yes.” “Fast.” He shook his head. “No.” I frowned. "What do you mean, no?" “I mean not fast.” “I don’t have time to take it slow.” “This isn’t about speed.” “It is when Nate is…” “It’s about control,” he cut in. I stopped. “You’re not ready to move faster,” he continued. “What we can do is move smarter.” “That sounds like something Axel would say.” “It’s something that’s true.”
