The chance to know, a feeling of being powerful for those who are suffering daily. It was my dream in life, from the very moment I saw the blue horizon across the ocean. I knew that there were those out there, less fortunate than me, that would practically trade anything for this type of life. I mean, don’t get me wrong.. There are a ton of flaws in my life as well, but I’ve learned to be thankful for all the amazing things I have. A superhero - yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to be. I wanted to freely and confidently answer the calls of my name, letting people know that I’ll be there for them no matter what the case.
That night, I fell asleep with all of these thoughts circulating in my head. It was as if I was getting a call from the universe - it wanted me to get up and ready to fight against the injustices. As I lay in bed, I couldn’t help but think about all of those fantasies. Night based like day, and before I knew it, the sun was shining right through the closed california shutters lined on the walls of my bedroom.
Things felt different all at once. I felt like I could fly, maybe even change the world with my two hands. It felt like the day had finally come, a purpose that I can now see fulfilled. At that moment, I didn’t know just how wrong I was. As I excitedly scrambled out of bed, I felt much lighter than normal. It was as if some drastic change had happened to me while I slept; nothing physically, but more or so something internally. Suddenly, a loud thumping came from around the corner. The weight of the world began to fall on me, as I fell to the ground after hearing such a thunderous noise. Just as I fell, I noticed a crumpled piece of paper on the ground. It read, “Congratulations on getting a new superpower! You can now hear other people’s hearts beating”.
