 How old was the narrator when he discovered he had a special gift?
[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, January 1960. I always knew what was in Christmas presents before I unwrapped them, and therefore Christmas was always spoiled for me as a kid. This being earlier than I usually get up, it seems all I did during the night was feel my way past the escapement and balance wheel to see where the notch for the alarm was. No, none of them would know it was there. We'd be leaving the valley for the mountain range north of Los Angeles soon, if we hadn't left it already. I'd be a man not to be trusted, a prying man, a man literally with gimlet eyes.
