I yell 'World stop!' And it obeys. Everything stops in its tracks. The leaves falling, the cars moving, the open mouths of motorists. Everything.
I can sing as loudly and offkey as I want, I can read without fear of either time or responsibility. I can write undisturbed.
I can correct stuff. Put the bag back from where it was taken. Paste incriminating evidence on a perpetrator. Unleash the maltreated dog.
I can be selfish, I can be heroic. I can be anything with this power. But it's all in my head.
If I yell 'World stop!', the people will stop in their tracks, turn and wonder what on Earth is wrong with that girl.

This is a superpower that I have ALWAYS wanted to have. If memory serves me right, I was nine when I first had this epic fantasy of having this power.
What superpowers would you like? What will you do with it?
