[ WP ] all humans gain a super power on a random day of their life . you awake on your 70th birthday to discover you have finally gained your power .

The world had been in disaray for as long as I could remember, and that had been a long time - 69 years, 11 months, and 29 days to be exact. Ever since the event infused humanity with powers, the world had fallen apart. Rampant crime and terror had overtaken the planet as villains become supervillains, and heroes became complacent. No one wanted to be an accountant when they could save the planet, nobody wanted to work at a power plant when they could travel through time as easily as the rancid air that all on the planet breathed. But in the chaos of the world, the only rule was that the power always came before the 50th birthday. Except in my case. And although the people lived forever, and fought wars forever, were sick forever, and watched their society crumble forever, immortality to all had always been seen as the blessing that came after the Event. 
 
 Only I could see it as it was - the fence that kept the people in the cage that the God that had either failed them, played a cruel game on them, or been killed by the humans he raised so high that they could only fall long ago. They were all rats in a cage. All but me. 
 
 And so, on my 70th Birthday, I finally gained my power. I awoke. I breathed. I saw. I breathed. I saw. And so I chose, I used my power, and I died.
