It's About Time

So, it finally happened. I developed superpowers. I was beginning to think it just wouldn't happen. I mean, puberty was kind of awhile ago, and that's usually when these things manifest, right? So imagine my surprise when, sitting in my living room this morning enjoying my morning cup of mint-flavored hot cocoa, I happened to squeeze the handle of my mug a little harder than normal, and, with a sudden snap, it popped right off the mug. I sat there in shock for a few moments, covered in hot cocoa and smelling of peppermint, staring at the broken mug handle still in my hand. It didn't take long for the realization to hit me.

I have super-strength.

Or, possibly, a faulty mug. But I like the super-strength explanation better. It made me feel better about having to change my cocoa-soaked clothes and wash out the chair I was sitting in.
