Really? A Dream?
His name was John, he was a 15-year-old boy who lived in San Francisco, California, he lived with his parents at an apartment in a very nice neighborhood.
One day, he went to his school and it seemed to be a normal day, he was playing soccer with his classmates in P.E. class, despite John was playing, he was focused on another thing. He was listening to strange noises coming from the sky; suddenly, a liquid thing fell from the sky and went directly into John’s mouth, when John swallowed that liquid, he fainted.
He woke up at the hospital hours later, surrounded by his parents, but he had changed. He passed from being 1.75 mts. to 3.40 mts. and he had gigantic muscles too.
John was not only scared because of his changes, but also excited because he wanted to fight against the evil in California, so he got out of the hospital and he became the hero of San Francisco or that was what he thought.
All heroes need a costume, so he went to look for one in a costume store, but he didn’t find anything that fits him because now he was 3.40 mts. and had gigantic muscles, so he designed it.
Obviously, John, the new hero needed someone to fight with, a villain, an enemy. He turned the TV set on to see if anyone needed help; suddenly, he heard someone screaming for help, so he went out and found an old lady looking to a cat on a tree. John asked her if she needed help and she told him that her cat jumped into the tree and didn’t want to go down, it was an easy job and he wanted a challenge, but anyways he helped her and took the cat down.
He still wanted a challenge, something big, so he went to the city and found a monster that was destroying all the city, he had to do something as he was the new hero of San Francisco, so he began to fight with the monster.
When he was about to win, he turned into the same short and thin boy as he was before, but suddenly he woke up and realized that it was all a dream, so John was a little sad because he really wanted to save San Francisco from the monster and show all that he could do, but in reality he was just a simple boy who liked soccer and superheroes.
