Last month was my eighteenth birthday and my family and I went to Norway to view the aurora borealis or the northern lights. I was really excited to go as I always wanted to see it. Fast forward to the day of my birthday and there we were. It was so beautiful that I wanted to keep staring at the sky laying on my back for days. We were all very excited and took a ton of pictures. My sister is a really good photographer and she had her Nikon close to her breasts at all times. She is three years older than me and doesn't even let me touch her camera at all. She says, "Adam, you keep your trouble making hands off my camera!" As if I will break it.
Anyways, we were chatting in our tiny tents, when my father told us to make a wish. He said that when you wish something under the northern lights, it always comes true. I did not believe in wishes or superstitions. I was a rational logical guy. Thus, I came up with the stupidest idea I could fathom. I wished to become a shapeshifter.
We came home the following week. I was not happy to return to my daily boring monotonous life. Swimming, then school, then band practice, then homework... aargh! But there I was, dreaming about the northern lights while looking at myself in my school's washroom mirror just when it struck me. The wish! I gave out a little chuckle and closed my eyes to make a wish. I wished to become an eagle. Nothing happened. Of course, nothing happened, these stupid wishes are a waste of time.
The bell rang and it was time for class. I splashed water on my face and got ready to go to the boring hell, when Matt came into the washroom. He was one of the genetically gifted ones and even at 18, he looked like "the Rock" Every girl wanted to fuck him and most did! He looked at himself and straightened his hair and walked straight out. I wished I was like him. And then it happened. Suddenly my field of vision went from 5 feet to 6 feet and when I looked at the mirror, I saw Matt looking back at me. I became Matt! I shapeshifted! My heart went racing and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The wish came true.
The next few hours I was shivering. I wasn't able to concentrate in class and as my mind went racing with ideas on how to use my superpower. Although I was back to being myself, I looked at Matt and wasn't as intimidated as before. Because now I knew that I could become him or anybody else I wanted. I couldn't wait to get home and try out my shapeshifting superpowers.
