I recently watched a TV show about beings with supernatural powers. The storyline of the show carried it well and the actors were also charismatic.
It's a dark show with a fair amount of gory fighting scenes where folks got messed up badly in fights. You know, it's a fight between people with supernatural abilities. You can already imagine how intense that fight will be. It was catastrophic.
Even amid all that catastrophe, goryness, and stuff, I still fondly imagine what the case would be if I'm allowed to make a choice and pick a superpower. Well, the opportunity has come in theory.
This writing prompt asks;
Tell us what superpower you wish to have if you had the chance.
Lemme tell you about me and the mindset I work with. I don't believe that we can sit on our ass somewhere and expect every good thing on earth to come to embrace us. I genuinely don't believe that. Instead, I believe in working hard, going through pain and suffering, and staying hard even when I feel like quitting.
My life is a typical example of that. I wake up each day and put myself on the line to do things I probably don't enjoy. I go for 2 hours walk. I push up and sit up till my body feels inflammatory. I do all these. Not because I enjoy suffering myself. Nope. I do that because I know that I have something I want to achieve and I'm ready to go through pain, get burnt to ashes, and rise again as a new, rebuilt, and upgraded version of myself.
Does all that give you a clue about the superpower I would want to have?
It's easy!
I want to have a regenerative ability.
This means the ability of my body and mind to rebuild itself with the speed of light whenever I experience any sort of damage. For example, if I jump from 10000ft above the ground and crash myself into multiple pieces, I would still be able to regenerate the broken pieces within the twinkle of an eye.
This isn't a fancy super power. I know. However, I'm not walk on a glittery path. I'm ready to go through the rough path of life, take huge risks and even go through death, knowing fully well that even if I die over a thousand times, I will still regenerate.
I don't have instant regenerative ability right now, but I can feel a part of me die each day while I try to be better than I was a day before. You just don't know how much I've pushed myself to get to where I am. I'm sure you also don't know how far I'm ready to push myself to get to where I plan to be in the future.
Deprivation? Suffering? Pain?
I've been through all that and I've been staying hard and winning my battles. Now, imagine what will happen if I grab an instant regenerative ability. Haha.
Think about that for a minute.
