[ WP ] Turn some mundane action into a legend of great ambitions and action of selfness redemption .

It has been said that if you stare into an abyss long enough, the abyss begins to stare back. I do n't know who said it, nor what it means, but it sounds as mysterious as it does ominous, so it'll do. 
 
 My name is Henry Schneider: Lone wolf extraordinaire and hero to the people; today I'm going to slap that abyss in the face for staring at me without permission. 
 
 A cool breeze fills the room. The sun is going down, and I take a last look out at it. When I next see it, I will have been reborn as someone else. Some*thing* else. But only if I have the courage to take the leap. To meet the abyss on equal terms, and emerge triumphant. Do I dare? Is this too much power for one man to hold? My heart pounds its response in my chest: *Do it, do it, do it*. 
 
 Through the air, I can hear the people calling, urging me on. Those who could not do what I do. It is for them, not for me, that I must pass this test. My hands are shaking. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and hold them steady; and then I do it. I feel the cosmos, all of existence, converging on me. The eyes of millions appraise their new legend; before me, I behold my magnificent feat of courage. The abyss stares back at me. It reads *3,000,000 people like this*. 
 
 A single tear runs down my cheek and I let out a sob: it's over, it is finished. Somewhere I know that millions around the world are at this moment rising from their deathbeds, blinking in the light of a new horizon. I sink back in my chair, trying to control my rapid breathing. *My God. * I think *I just cured cancer. *
