A Day as a Superhero

A Day as a Superhero

My name is Amin. I'm an ordinary office worker who couldn't be more ordinary. I lived a life of going between two places every day—going to work, getting off work and then going home to sleep. Life was dull and uneventful.

However, yesterday, my life underwent earth-shaking changes.

That morning, I got up and washed up as usual, preparing to go to work. When I walked up to the mirror, I suddenly noticed that some strange changes had taken place in my body. My muscles became abnormally developed, my skin grew tougher, and there was a strange glint in my eyes.

"What's going on?" I stared at myself in the mirror in astonishment, not knowing what to do.

Just when I was puzzled, a voice suddenly rang out in my mind, "Congratulations, Amin. You've been chosen to become a superhero and shoulder the mission of saving the world!"

"What? A superhero? Saving the world?" I couldn't believe my ears.

"Exactly. From now on, you possess strength, speed and agility beyond that of ordinary people. You should use these abilities to fight crime and protect the peace and security of the earth," the voice said.

Before I could react, I felt a powerful force surging in my heart. I involuntarily threw a punch, and with a "whoosh", the punch brought a gust of wind and almost shattered the mirror.

"Wow, this is so amazing!" I exclaimed excitedly.

Since I had become a superhero, of course I had to do something. I put on a set of superhero clothes that I usually liked (actually, it was just a black bodysuit and a red cape), and then flew out of the window (yes, I could fly now).

I was flying over the city, looking down at the streets and buildings below. Suddenly, I heard a siren. I flew in the direction of the sound and saw a police car parked in front of a bank, with the police officers confronting a group of robbers.

"Ha ha, today is your doom!" I shouted and then rushed towards the robbers like a cannonball.

The robbers were startled when they saw me suddenly appear. They raised their weapons one after another and fired at me. However, my body was so tough that the bullets hitting me were like tickling.

I easily dodged the robbers' attacks and then quickly rushed towards them. I knocked down one robber with a punch and kicked another one away. In less than a minute, I had subdued all the robbers.

"Wow, a superhero!" The police officers and the surrounding people cheered.

I stood there, enjoying everyone's cheers and applause, feeling extremely proud. This was how it felt to be a superhero. It was so wonderful!

In the following day, I solved several more criminal incidents one after another and became a hero in the city.

However, when night fell, I suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion. I realized that being a superhero wasn't that easy. After this day, I had already consumed a lot of my physical strength and energy.

When I got home, I lay in bed and soon fell asleep. In my sleep, I heard that voice again, "Amin, you did a great job today. But the mission of a superhero has just begun. Tomorrow, you'll have more challenges to face..."
