[ WP ] You 're 99.999 % sure you have superpowers . Obviously , if you were 100 % sure , your life would be completely different .

I guess I should explain; I have really good luck. Not the kind of luck that involves me finding a twenty dollar bill when I'm broke or someone paying for my meal unexpectedly, but the luck that involves me almost dropping my grandmother's plates and catching them all before they hit the ground or when I just happen to out swim a shark the one and only time I went swimming at a beach. This luck is logical though, I mean once I ran out of gas in the middle of some train tracks and I was able to push my car and myself out of the way in time but you hear stories like that all the time about someone's adrenaline was pumping and they did what they had to do to survive. 
 
 I guess if I had a power then it would be survival because my grandmother would have murdered me ten times over if I had even chipped those plates and I'm not exaggerating. This one time I was walking home at night, minding my own business, and I noticed a person was following me. I would turn a street and so would they so instead of going home I tried to see how long they'd keep it up. I walked all the way back to the downtown district and so did they. I stopped at a gas station to get some gum, they bought a soda. I stopped to look at pamphlets at a nearby theater for a local production for that following week and they stopped to admire the mannequins in a closed studio next door. Eventually I walked down a dead-end, I do n't go downtown all that often, and the next thing I hear is a gun click and my heart stops. I turn around and they fire at me. I swear to you, I'm not sure what the fuck happened. One moment I'm frozen and the next I'm dodging this damn bullet. Then I run because the jig is up and playing follow the leader is fucking overrated. 
 
 The thing is nothing has ever happened to me, I did n't get bit by a spider or jumped in hazardous chemical waste. I have pictures of my mom pregnant with me and I look just like them, and have my dad's asthma to boot. 
 
 I'm not doing anything specific like climbing walls or even flying and there's no televised superheros on tv that prove that powers actually exist. What would mine be anyway? Good reflexes and sometimes strength? I should pursue a career in baseball then. 
 
 So when Danielle asked me out, I knew it had to be a joke and nothing special would happen to me to make me this great guy or even popular in some way for a girl like her to go out with me, I'm just a male Carrie - call me Carl. 
 
 When I see buildings on fire, I stand back and let the professionals handle it because who wants to be the guy that died being fucking stupid? Oh poor kid! Did n't his parents tell him to not run into a burning building without the proper protection? He must've been on drugs, to bad we ca n't do tests since his body is burnt to a crisp. 
 
 My life could be different if I knew for sure I had powers, but it's 2016 and I'm not taking chances with fate.
