Free Writing – My Super Power

I’ve often imagined what kind of super power I would have if I was a star in an X-Men movie or on the popular television show “Heroes.” Many people dream of being invisible or being able to fly or something fancy like that, but not me. I have long since come to the conclusion that I would like to be able to burrow like a gopher or a groundhog. I would use my special ability to save people in dangerous situations (use your imagination as to how I would do that!) and even find shade on a hot summer day. I would also be a natural landscaper and have the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood. Many people have made fun of me because of my ambitious desire, which has not phased me in the least bit. I don’t let others control what I dream about. Anyway, I have also thought about my natural abilities and which of them could be considered a super power, and I found one (so far). It is my ability to tell what time it is without the use of a watch or any other timepiece. I’ve never worn a watch, and yet my biggest pet peeve is running late. These things may seem contradictory, but I have developed a sixth-sense of being able to tell, with remarkable accuracy, what time it is at any given moment. My wife suggested that her super powers could be losing things or forgetting people’s names, but I know she has much more to offer than those abilities. The End.
