Super Powers
It was a foggy night in London and the city was quiet as usual. The only sound to be heard was the occasional chirping of the city's wildlife. But for one person, this silence was about to be broken.
James was a lonely young man, living hand to mouth in one of London's public housing neighborhoods. Every day was a struggle to make rent and the only joy he found in life was the evenings spent walking around the city seeing the sights. On this particular night, his nightly stroll was taking him through some of London's more deserted back streets.
As he neared a particularly dark alleyway, James noticed a strange glow emanating from within. He cautiously stepped closer to investigate. On the ground he found a glowing, pulsing rock about the size of a grapefruit. He picked it up and marveled at its ethereal iridescence.
But James had no idea what he had discovered nor the power it bestowed upon him. As he inspected the rock, his body began to tingle and a warm sensation filled his veins. Suddenly an unseen force pulled him into the air and he soared above the night sky. He had activated his newfound superpower.
Screaming in joy, he explored the city from a new perspective. He raced across rooftops and flew around buildings with ease. As he marveled at his new-found power, he was filled with joy and pride. Now he was not just a single man in a big city. Now he felt like part of something. He had become London's unique superhero.
He spent the rest of the night reveling in his new powers and coming up with ideas of how to use them to help people. In the morning, he kept his newfound powers a secret and decided to use them to help people in a more discreet way. He began to use his new powers to aid people who were in need and to help the city become an even better place to live.
James's new superpower had changed his life and the lives of those around him. He was now a force for good in the city; a true superhero. Thanks to his new found superpower on that foggy night, London was finally complete with its very own superhero.
