Superpower

Terry was exposed to a mysterious meteorite, and it gave him a superpower—any woman he slept with became a genius. He discovered this when his wife, June, went from waitress to restaurateur in two months, and his mistress, Angela, stopped filling in crossword puzzles and started designing missile systems. He tried cashing in, advertising his service to college girls desperate for a good GPA. No one took him seriously. Worse, June and Angela left him. They didn’t find him charming anymore. His jokes fell flat. His promises all felt empty. There was no question that they could do better.
