I've decided I'm going to get on the homework train once again. I've been a rebel, @missy & @rambo.
Sure, it'd be great to be invisible every now and again, to be able to teleport from one place to another, MINDREADING, ooh... to have the power of super strength or super senses but I've really thought about this. I'm sure in the past I'd have said every one of those aforementioned powers, and I'm sure I'd have wanted to be most of the Misfits characters too.
But I've seen a lot of people suffer. I've seen a lot of people in pain. I've seen a lot of people die. Now, suffering, pain and dying are all parts of life. They will all happen to each of us and I believe we all need to feel these as human beings. But imagine if you could ease the pain and suffering of a dying person? How delightful that would be. You could deliver someone a dignified and comfortable death without battling with medications and positioning and confusion.
I'd have the power to take away that awful feeling for people. I wouldn't want to take away a person's ability to feel emotion, just to ease their discomfort when they really needed it. Like, making babies not feel their vaccination injections, like easing the pain of someone with a chronic condition, like eliminating the possibility that someone could die in pain.
That's what I'd like to do.
