Hello all once again! Venturing across the strange plains of the internet, I scrounged around and discovered an article on the complexities of vision and how scary it is to lose one of our main senses. When Seeing Stars Through Your Eyes Isn't a Good Thing Article link Walking down the stairs with his trusted dog, stars started showing in the top right corner of a 66 year old's vision. These symptoms persisted and worsened as time progress, leading him to visit his ophthalmologist and seek treatment. There was an injury and inflammation in the macular region of the retina caused by infection, also compounded by the growth of a small cluster of abnormal blood vessels that threaten to completely take away his vision. However, this was able to be treated with the use of intravenous antibiotics and medicine injected monthly to prevent the blood vessels from growing further. Through this treatment, his vision was able to recover from 20/800, meaning he could only see stuff 20 feet a...

Hello all once again! Based on the key given along with the fact that my birthday is on the 21st of September, my hero has special abilities regarding the temporal lobe (processing of auditory information) and Substance P (perception of pain).  Thus my hero shall be called the Telephone. The Telephone's abilities are the ability to hear sounds from incredibly far distances and the capacity to mute his perception of pain, allowing him to work terribly long shifts in his workweek.  Origin Story Being a part of a large call center, Telephone was originally one of the employees who spent most of his time in the office, only spending his vacation days and free time skydiving. Despite the strange hobby based on the exploration and freedom of the skies, Telephone was still chained to his job.  However, on one fateful morning, his parachute malfunctioned, leaving him to quickly decide where to break his fall above a suburban neighborhood. Quickly making his decision, this madman ...

 Hello all! But when was I first able to say "hello"? A 17-Year Preamble My story starts on September 21, 2005, when I was born in San Antonio, hence my middle name "Antonio". My first steps were relatively late; however, 14 months is not too late of an age to begin tottering about my home in San Antonio.  My first words were "Mama" despite the constant efforts of my dad.  （ 。＾▽＾） However, the most used word in my limited vocabulary was "SUV" after becoming so attached to my parent's car. I don't really recall the start of my puberty, but I do remember growing slightly taller each year in middle school: from being 5'6" to the tree I am today standing at 6'1". 〜(￣▽￣〜) What's to come? My high school graduation would be held in May 2024, roughly 15 months away as of today. Hopefully, I will get accepted into either UT or Rice to study medicine, pursuing this 4-year degree in Pre-Med to hopefully get into medical school!...
