OK, I know - my superpower - I'd be able to shoot lightning bolts out from my finger tips - great big Knowledge Network documentary bolts - and when a person was zapped by one of these bolts, they'd fall down on their knees and once on their knees, they'd be underwater, in this place where a billion electric blue fish swam up to me and made me a part of their school - and then they'd be up in the air, up in Manhattan, above the World Trade Center, with a flock of pigeons, flying amid the skyscrapers, and then - and then what? And then they'd go blind, and then they'd be taken away - they'd feel homesick - more homesick than they'd felt in their entire life - so homesick they were throwing up - and they'd be abandoned, I don't know... in the middle of a harvested corn field in Missouri. And then they'd be able to see again, and from the edges of the field people would appear - everybody they'd known - and they'd be carrying Black Forest cakes and burning tiki lamps and boom boxes playing the same song and the sky would turn into a sunset, the way it does in Walt Disney World brochures, and the person I zapped would never be alone or isolated again.
