Stupor Power

A question from the daily prompt – What superpower do you wish you had and why?

I guess what superpower you wish you had depended on how you feel at that moment. Right now, I’m relaxed and fairly content, but my first concern and thoughts of the day as always are my family and friends. So, I guess I’d make them healthy and happy.

Yesterday my superpower would have been to have a lane to myself on that clogged beltway around Baltimore. Unless you like sitting in traffic the why is in the answer.

Last weekend my superpower would have been to have one of the nicest hotrods in Ocean City and free fuel. Because I love nice cars and I like to drive with other hotrods.

Oh, and I’d also like to remove the bullies of the world. And I know where I’m starting. Why, to make the world a better place.

Oh, one more please. I’d like the ultra-rich to feel some of the pain and suffering and panic that the common working people do. Maybe like when they need the funds for a loved one’s illness and they don’t have it. Or out on the road in a piece of crap car far from home not knowing if you’re going to make it or not and not have a dime in your pocket for help. Or the million and one other struggles people face.

I am working on my superpower to leave a body of work to be proud of. As you can tell, I have a lot of work in front of me.
