Default SUPER POWERS

Do you ever have moments when you think you may have spontaneously developed a super power? This happens to me a lot. For example, the other day I heard some sounds in the distance and my first thought was I wonder if normal people can hear that? For some reason, I felt as though I had developed super hearing. I’m optimistic that way.

I also spend way too much time staring at objects and trying to make them burst into flames. I realize it’* a long shot, but how do your really know unless you try?

I grew up reading Superman and Spider-Man comics, so I take for granted that sooner or later I’ll have a freak accident that gives me a super power. It’ll hurt when it happens, for sure, but it will be worth it. I just hope it’* not a crappy super power, such as the ability to add long columns of numbers in my head, or the power to eat an unlimited amount of eggs. I want the kind where I can kill people and impress people and ultimately kill the people who refuse to be impressed. And the witnesses too, of course.

Apparently I’ll be quite busy. So if it’* not too much to ask, I’d also like a second freak accident that gives me the ability to secrete caffeine from my tonsils directly into my throat.

You have the super human ability to cheer up all of us. I can't speak for the rest of the bunch but you have made my day on many occasions!

No burning sensation but a little scared perhaps.

Yes, something more useful than eating eggs.
