As Jake pondered the ethical implications of using his x-ray vision at the poker table, he couldn't shake the feeling that there must be a more virtuous application for his extraordinary ability. One evening, as he strolled through the bustling city streets, his gaze inadvertently pierced through the walls of a nearby hospital. Instantly, he was inundated with a vivid view of the patients lying in their beds, their bodies illuminated by the soft glow of medical equipment.
Curiosity piqued, Jake found himself drawn to the hospital entrance. With cautious steps, he ventured inside, his x-ray vision offering glimpses of the intricate network of bones and organs within each person he passed. As he approached the nurses' station, he overheard a conversation about a shortage of medical supplies in the pediatric ward.
With a sense of determination, Jake offered his assistance, explaining his unique ability and his desire to help in any way he could. Skeptical at first, the nurses eventually relented, allowing Jake to use his x-ray vision to locate hidden fractures and diagnose ailments with unparalleled accuracy.
Word of Jake's remarkable talent spread quickly throughout the hospital, and soon he found himself inundated with requests for assistance from doctors and nurses alike. With each diagnosis, Jake felt a sense of fulfillment unlike anything he had experienced before. No longer did he view his x-ray vision as a mere tool for personal gain; instead, he saw it as a gift to be used for the betterment of others.
As he navigated the corridors of the hospital, Jake realized that his newfound purpose extended far beyond the walls of the poker room. With his x-ray vision, he had the power to bring healing and comfort to those in need, and he vowed to use it wisely, always guided by his conscience and a desire to make a positive impact on the world around him. -

In the dimly lit casino, Jake's hand trembled as he stared at his cards. He had always been a decent poker player, but tonight, something strange was happening. As he glanced at his opponents, he noticed an odd sensation—a tingling in his eyes.
With each hand dealt, Jake's vision seemed to sharpen, revealing the faintest outlines of his opponents' cards. At first, he dismissed it as a trick of the light, but as the game progressed, he couldn't deny the truth: he had X-ray vision.
With this newfound ability, Jake felt invincible. He could see through bluffs, decipher the strongest hands, and anticipate his opponents' moves before they made them. The chips piled up in front of him as he effortlessly dominated the table.
However, as the night wore on, Jake began to realize the dark side of his gift. He saw the desperation in the eyes of his opponents as he stripped them of their hard-earned winnings. Guilt gnawed at him, but the lure of easy money was too strong to resist.
In the end, Jake walked away from the table a wealthy man, but the victory felt hollow. He knew that his X-ray vision had come with a price—a loss of integrity and the tarnishing of the game he once loved. Naturtally, his mind drifted to new ways to make this new gift open the world around him. -
