Simon tells the story of a peaceful man that has lived his entire life with the fear that he has a great and horrifying power, the power to cause bad things to happen. The story begins years after the lone incident that has plagued Simon to become a recluse and run from the society he wishes to protect from himself. After refusing the help of a seemingly selfless Doctor that has offered to treat Simon “pro bono” for the rights to study and write about Simon, Simon meets a girl. What happens next is the oldest tale in human history, a fate that we cannot avoid.
