Super powers
Ya know what would be freakin’ awesome?
Having super powers.
And inversely, do you know what would really suck?
Finding out I had super powers after I died.
I know it sounds stupid, but this is honestly of a serious concern to me. What if, this whole time, I’ve had powers and have simply not been trying hard enough? What if Coca Cola is my Kryponite?
Maybe if I flap my arms a little harder I could actually be zipping around the globe right now. Maybe I could make the cat that hangs around outside my house float? Or perhaps I could be reading my romantic interest’s mind and discover that deep down inside — they really don’t reciprocate that interest.
No one here can tell me they haven’t dreamt of having super powers. We are secretly yearn to be different. We all want to have something like that can set us apart from the rest of the world. Be it for isolation? Perhaps making it easy to leave behind a legacy? (My personal reasons are obviously the two questioned.)
Why do you think that TV series Heroes did so well? Because everyone could relate to it. Every single person in the nation, while watching that show was communally thinking “Ohhh! I wanna do that!”
Albeit my strong belief system based on reality and facts, even I can admit to this longing.
I guess I’ll just have to call my queer, sometimes questionable cranial quirks, and my irregular, irrelevant, improvised yet incisive ability to alliterate — my super powers.
