I used to belive that one day I'd discover I had super powers. I figured that the trick to uncovering them was that I had to be in a situation where my body had no choice but to reveal my powers. I'd be falling off a cliff and my super powered instincts would kick in and I'd start to fly. This would be akin to people who perform extraordinary acts in situations in which their lives or the lives of loved ones are in danger.
I wasn't quite eager and willing to jump off a cliff or place my mom in the path of an oncoming train. I tried lifting massive boulders, jumpinf off balconies, jumping out of trees, and running really fast. I figured that super speed was my destiny; I was virtually owed it.
I ran anywhere I could, open fields, play grounds, to and from school, shopping malls, the hallways of my house. I theorized that I just had to hit a certain speed and then my super speed would take over and I'd be transformed into a human blur. I'd start to feel friction as my feet hit the top speed humanly possible and then my powers would be triggered and I'd move effortless as I whizzed by everyone. Scenery would blend and blur together. I'd be nothing more than a breeze moving past you making the hair on your arms stand on end.
Surprisingly enough it never happned.
Sometimes when I got older and we played soccer I had a feeling that maybe it could happen. I tried but I just bent over with pains in my stomach.
