Everyone wishes they had a superpower right? I know I did, I wanted to be able to fly, read minds, or walk through walls. I even remember as a child having dreams that I could fly. Granted it was after playing too much Super Mario Bros III and I had a raccoon tail in my dreams but it was still flying.
As an adult the wish for a super power slowly faded and I had more realistic dreams, a great job that pays well, buying a house, getting married. The list goes on.
In the past few months though a super power has finally started to emerge. I don't remember being bitten by a radio active spider or swimming in some purple ooze but who knows I did sleep walk as a child. My power is the ability to make people disappear! Ok its not as fantastic as you might think, its actually just making people leave the room. I'm not even sure how I do it. Is it body odor? I shower everyday and always remember to use antiperspirant and wear clean clothes. Do I suck all the fun from a room and people have to escape?
In reality it is likely coincidence and people leave to go upstairs because they already had the idea to do so before I walked into the room. But while I make my transition into British life I can't help but be over sensitive to the smallest of things. I know it will pass and if not then at least I finally have a superpower.
