[ WP ] In a world where you gain the power of the object you were previously killed with . You were killed by a falling coconut

Usually, the day your power finally reveals itself is one of the greatest days in someone ’ s life. For me, not so much. You see, most people discover their gift pretty early. My dad always told me how he found out he was run over by a tank during the second world war when he ran headfirst through a wall. Mom must have been killed by a bomb shelter for their relationship to work, but I ’ d rather not think about that. 
 
 Anyways, so I found out today. I didn ’ t run through a wall like a tank victim. I didn ’ t fly around like someone who died in a plane crash. I couldn ’ t swim like a shark ’ s dinner and the fact that I can ’ t run faster than walking speed tells me that I didn ’ t get run over by a car. I am a bit… different, 
 
 When I fell off this palm tree, my life changed. I knew I had discovered it. Every other person would have broken a bone or at least suffered some bruises. I had nothing. Not even a scratch. I thought I must be invincible of some sort. The fact that I could easily cut myself with a knife determined this was not the case. Well, not invincible, but I could still have some cool power, right? Well, no. I tried everything. I couldn ’ t fly, I couldn ’ t run, I couldn ’ t jump very high. Swimming felt a bit easier as it used to, but that was about it. Sad and defeated, I went to bed, still clueless about my powers. But this changed a bit after I woke up. 
 
 The next morning I got up and went to the bathroom. Tired as usual, I didn ’ t pay much attention to the mirror, or anything else for that matter, but as soon as my brother entered the room he burst into laughter. Shocked by his unusual reaction, I decided to take a look in the mirror. What I saw there was no laughing matter. Over the course of just one night, I had developed a huge beard. But not just that, my whole body was covered in long but brittle hair. 
 
 I have seen this before. Fuck, I have seen exactly this before. We had one guy in our city with exactly this power. Hairy, invincible to falls from palm trees, good at swimming. Shit. I have the power of a coconut. 
 
 Ashamed, I went downstairs. My parents didn ’ t laugh, but they seemed a bit… disappointed. Well sorry I didn ’ t get ripped apart by an apache helicopter, mom. School wasn ’ t fun either. Most of my classmates hadn ’ t discovered their power yet, but they couldn ’ t get it much worse than I did. We used to make fun of my best friend who got crushed by a bookshelf full of dictionaries. I tried to get them to at least laugh with me instead of at me, so I tried to crack a joke: 
 
 “ Well, at least I ’ m NUTritious! ” 
 
 But then, my friend ’ s power kicked in and he said: “ Well technically, coconuts aren ’ t nuts but stone fruits; the part we know as nuts is only the core. ” 
 
 Fuck my life.
