Hero or Villain?

I am 23 and I still have the desire of every 10 year old boy: I want to be a super hero in the worst way! I have always wanted to be part of this amazing world where people can do things that make them anything but normal. But my dream, after so many years of waiting, might be coming true, and I find my self at a cross-road! Here is my story:

This past fall I started watching seasons of Smallville and began having strange dreams at night. I would dream that I had the powers of Clark Kent and people were always after me. I would always wake up right taking care of a bad guy or two, and these dreams started to become addicting. After a while I found myself turning into Lex Luther (the villain in the story); I found myself wanting to get back into the story. But this lifestyle started to leak into my everyday life. I would find myself in staff meetings trying to get a pen to slide across the table into my hand, only to feel defeat. Well, as Smallville went downhill after season 6, I started to watch a show that introduced me to the hunger, leading me to my crossroad. That show was Heroes! If you have no idea what this show is about, all I can say is PLEASE WATCH! 

Watching this show introduced me to the hunger, the hunger for power! There is a character in this show known as Sylar, who for some reason I developed a liking for. Sylar is the villain of this story, who has a hunger for other people's abilities. After watching this show and being introduced to the hunger, I went to my girlfriend's house. While jumping on my girlfriend's trampoline I decided to lay down and relax. All of a sudden I started to notice something: I could hear static electricity surges building up while the hair on my arms started to stand up, then I felt the charge. After feeling this energy coarse through my body, I decided to try something that I had attempted before. I put out my hand, focused, and then it happened. There were a couple of leaves and after hard concentration, they slid across the trampoline and floated to my hand. NO JOKE! I finally had it, the power was mine.

Keeping this secret to myself, my girlfriend and I went to Wal-Mart. While we were walking around, and thinking about what had happened, I reached out my hand again to touch my 
girlfriends arm and thats when it happened. ZAP! I shocked her and I saw the charge leave my finger and she let out a loud OUCH! Was this because of the trampoline? I wasn't sure, so I tried again....ZAP ZAP! She yelled again. It wasn't a dream, I had a power... I could produce electricity! We walked around Wal-Mart for almost an hour, and every time I touched her or anything metal I could see and hear a shock. Then when I explained what had happened to me, she touched me and she was shocked as well. Sadly, after we left, my power was gone.

But now I am in Kansas, and it's back!!! I touched my friend's washer and dryer at the same time and I could feel electricity pulsing though my body... this time, it hurt. Soon afterward, the zaps started again. Now the hunger for power has returned, leaving me with a question: What is my destiny, Hero or Villain? I guess I will just see what happens.

hahahahaha. It's settled; if you weren't a Christian, you would definitely be a serial killer. Good luck on putting to use your "power" of static electricity.
