I was taking the bus when I suddenly saw Spiderman, who started to wink at me. My jaw practically dropped in my lap. I manage to collect myself enough to pull the leaver to stop the bus. What was I doing? No way The Spiderman was winking at me. No way was The Spiderman a “thing”! This was no comic book or Mavel Universes type of reality, this was real life, this was my life. My ordinary, plain, non fanciful life. No way was somethings as awesome as Spiderman winking happening to me. Hoisting my bag upon my shoulder and hoping off the bus, I walk back a block to where “it” happened. However, nothing and no one was hanging from a building, swinging in the air or noone was around that remotely looked like Spiderman. I was half embarrassed for foolishly allowing myself to believe the fantasy and part angered that I would now have to walk 10 more block. Turning to begin the long walk home, I stood face to face with my real life “night in shining armor”; my boyfriend. He smiles and wraps his goofy arms around me. I begin to tell him about my ridiculous mirage, and he laughs and holds my hand as we take the street towards home, then he leans close and says “well anything is possible”.
