My Superpower

 

Many of you won’t believe this and the rest may find it to be quite fantastic, but I have the ability to pass through time.  Yes, that’s right.  Like it wasn’t even there.  Not only that, but I’ve broken it down, so I don’t just pass through weeks or days at a time, I can do it second by second.

I never notice as I’m doing it, but others tell me they can see the side effects.  After having done it so many times, my hair has gotten gray and my skin shows signs of aging, with spots and wrinkles, but like I say, from in here I don’t notice a thing.  It’s truly amazing. 

I understand it isn’t the power of super-human strength, or invisibility, but that sort of thing can only lead to problems, I’m very much liking my superpower.  When passing through time I get to enjoy all that goes with it, the sights, the smells and the feel of everything, and all at just a second at a time.  I never concern myself with what the future might hold, I’m enjoying the now.

Sure, I can still look back and see what I’ve done before, but that is more of a preference thing.  My preference is always the moment at hand.  Picture time as if it were a thin curtain of smoke, odorless, and without any feel to it.  It’s simply hanging there in front of you, and you step through it.  That’s all there is to it.  I’d say it doesn’t hurt, but if I’m being honest, the more you do it, the more aches and pains tend to show up.
