Faster #2

I woke up not knowing what time it was, or for that matter, what day it was. I looked at a clock and realized that it had only been ten minutes since I was struck by lighting.

Ahh, my head hurts, I need to get a cab.

Crap, I forgot about Iris. I'll just have to tell her the truth.

 

I got down to the sidewalk and called for a cab. When one came, I waved my hands in the air trying to get his attention, but he kept driving.

"Slow down!"

Looks like I am going to have to run to get my cab.

I started running and before I knew it I was ahead of the cab and down the street.

"The heck? How did this happen?"

Looks like I'm not going to be taking a cab to the theater, heck I don't need to take a cab anywhere now.

 

"Where have you been?"

I panicked, I couldn't tell Iris the truth now that I have this superhuman power.

"Uh, well, someone at the office started talking to me. I couldn't leave."

"Whatever. Well, we missed our showing of the movie, so I guess we'll have to come some other time."

Phew, that was a close one. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with these powers.

Hey, I think I already have an idea.
