[ WP ] You possess an ability to turn off one or more of your senses to heighten the others . Today is the day you make a mistake .

After today, it would have been twelve years of being on the force. My life had become a big action movie, in my own city nonetheless. With major trade, came 
 major crime. Over the years, I've lead extensive drug stings, help end human trafficking rings, and put some of the biggest crime bosses behind bars in this city. I was always persistant at my job, but it did n't begin there. I had always been able to ignore what everyone else is incapable of: Pain. Just feeling anything in general. 
 
 Ever since I could remember, I had a unique immunity to sensing touch and pain. My other senses were improved as a result. When other children would take one look at their scrapes and cuts, quiver, and cry for assistance, I would simply wipe the blood off and carry on. The doctors could n't explain it. I spent most of my school years playing Football and Wrestling. The fighting and endurance was a pleasure to me. I delighted in every second of it. I was n't the fastest person nor the most skilled. Most times it took someone else to tell me what was `` enough.'' I was young back then, and reckless. 
 
 That was long ago and I'm doing a speed trap on third shift in an hour. 
 
 The night pressed on and I was running on energy drinks and protein bars. I killed time looking up random names that popped into my head on our database. So far, not a single speeder had been caught. It was n't until an hour before the end of watch that my trap picks up someone going almost 200 mph over. I turned on my lights and pulled out of the small utility road I was parked in. I could barely see the tail lights of the speeder. I pressed hard on the gas and quickly accelerated to over 100 mph. I was n't gaining on the speeder. I could n't identify the vehicle. I started slowing down. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a pickup pull out from a dirt road. 
 
 It was too late. I hit the bed of the truck going 70 and was torn from my seatbelt. 
 
 I woke up in a daze. I could see the morning sun piercing theough the trees above. A man was standing over me. He had a cut on his forehead. I immediately sat up. My car was a twisted mess of wreckage, almost melded to the bed of the man's truck. The collison had spun the truck around and pushed it into a ditch. 
 
 `` Holy shit, are you alright?'' 
 
 I stood up. My legs did n't give out. They were n't broken. Neither were my arms. I felt weak. I could hear the wail of sirens in the distance. Must be other units and the paramedics. I walked up to the road and saw an Ambulance with two other units pull up beside it. I walked towards them, my movement becoming sluggish. I felt my sight fading with every step. I could see my fellow officers running towards me along with the EMTs. They were slowly becoming shapes. I collapsed. 
 
 I wake up, but in a hospital bed this time. No on is in the room and it's full of `` get well'' shit from the office. Flowers, cards, balloons, etc. A nurse walks in. She was younger woman, probably in her late twenties. I felt strange. It was n't like anything else I had experienced. The sheets were like waves over my body. I pulled my arm closer to me. The IV in my arm sent a piercing jolt up my shoulder and into my brain. The sensation was unreal. The jolt from my abdomen as I tried to sit up was even worse. I cried out. I could feel every tear rolling down my cheek as my eyes filled with liquid. I never cried before. It was a sweet release. I wiggled my toes. I could feel them tugging and rubbing against the fabric of the sheets. It made me wince. I began to laugh. Why was this funny to me? I pulled the covers off to see a large stitch across my abdomen. 
 
 `` Glad to see that you're awake now! Doctor will be here in a moment to bring you up to speed.'' 
 
 It was n't long until the doctor stepped in. 
 
 `` What happened to me?'' I asked. 
 
 Doctor grinned slightly and skimmed through his notes. 
 
 `` You're extremely lucky. Not only did we stop the bleeding in your lower intestine and started your heart back up, but we managed to find a blood donor for you in under 6 hours. You'll be back home in a couple of days.'' 
 
 The rest of those days, I spent watching sports channels and political news. Occasionally a family member or coworker would come visit. I just wanted to be left alone. It was the first time I felt human.
