You've heard the phrase "fly on the wall" before I'm sure. I wonder what it would be like to see things from that perspective?
I remember that when I was younger, people would always ask me, "if you could have any superpower, what would it be?" and I would always reply with wanting to be invisible. I would always wonder what people would say behind my back or I would try to find out who actually stole all of my pencils. I guess that there would be both good and bad things to just sitting off on the sidelines for everything. At least you could win at hide-and-go-seek...but I'm not sure how long it would take until sitting by yourself watching everyone else going on about life would get dull.

Maybe another superpower such as super-speed would be beneficial. You could get virtually anywhere in the world in record time, and for free too! You would always be able to arrive with the element of surprise, like this little spider to the left does when he speeds out of the funnel in his web, scaring us all. Maybe you would choose the superpower of flight. You could get a bird's-eye view of everything and be able to get away from the world for a while. Don't we all need that every once in a while?
