Some people don’t believe supernatural things exist. Some do. And that just means some people are intelligent. While others suffer from the misfortunate of ignorance.
Growing up was interesting. Especially since the world I grew up in was different from the one in my dreams. Because in dreams…there’s happiness. There are boundless freedoms. And endless potentials. But in reality…my reality…there’s only sadness. At least that’s what I believed before I met her.
From a young age I noticed I was different. And these differences only seemed to become more apparent as I aged. It started with the little things one would hardly notice. Like only crying on the nights of rain. Or the small thumps of thunder I could hear from the distance whenever I would scream into my pillows. Then the bigger things. Like killing my best friend.
It was years ago. On a playground. We’d always play this stupid game where you see who could hold their breath the longest. And every time we would play, I would win. Truth is, I could probably go days without ever breathing at all. But this time when we played things were different. And for the first time I felt challenged. No less from my best friend, Zoe.
And as we held our breaths our faces turned purple. And I lost. And she gloated. And I became upset. Frustrated. Irritated. And I don’t know why, but I was mad. And as I stared at her in anger…all of a sudden…lightning came from the sky and struck her. And as we ran to her. And screamed for help. We also watched the life leave her eyes. And I knew in my heart it was my fault. I knew in my heart I killed my best friend at the age of 9. Something I would have to live with for the rest of my life. And something I have lived with.
Everyone expects you to have your life figured out at age 25. But that’s not the case for me. Because living in a world where there is no one else like you is hard. And dealing with supernatural occurrences in silence is lonely.
But one day I found out there was someone else like me. Someone else that could control the weather. And this has forever changed my life. For finally I was happy. And I had someone that knew all my darkest secrets. And I knew theirs.
And as the years went by, her and I fell deeper in love. Eventually getting married. And making me the happiest guy on this planet. And later even blessing me with three children with three abilities. One could create thunder louder than anything the heavens could produce. One could drown the world with waterfalls from the sky. And one could summon lightning even Zeus would be in awe of.
See my wife and I was always strong. And we both had all three of these abilities to some extent. But for our kids…well…they exceled at their various abilities. And unfortunately, they’ve abused their powers. Unfortunately…they were three disasters.
