Everything was normal, I had bought a mouthwatering book whose origins came from the far flung, airy vaults of the divine ( The Silmarillion) and I was anticipating a long, extremely relaxing read with my cat.
but then something strange occurred when I was leaving through one of the shop's security doors.. exactly like this
One of the shop attendants came over
I tried to explain that the metal from my cardiac device had made the security doors buzz
after a brief awkward silence
By then I realized that I was feeling fatigued and my heart was fluttering a little bit . I went and bought a bottle of water and a small box of pumpkin and feta salad to re energize.
Drinking water, eating delicious salad and reading the blurb of my new book about sixty times helped me feel better.
I decided to look at a few more shops.
but then something amazing happened
Nothing!
the doors didn't buzz. I went into a few other shops and it was the same as well.
Then I concocted a theory. I was feeling a lot better after the rest, the water, the salad and the excessive blurb reading. My heart wasn't fluttering anymore.
when my heart skips a beat my pacemaker gets it back into rhythm with a tiny, little electric pulse which I can't feel.
so maybe because my heart wasn't fluttering anymore my pacemaker wasn't sending these little electric pulses and that's why I wasn't setting off the security doors.
I came to the last pair of security doors
I became nervous. What happened if my heart decided to start fluttering again and I made the doors buzz?
I stepped through the doors.
and then it hit me.
The doors started buzzing because I was nervous. Nerves make my heart skip beats
now every time I went through a security door I could make it buzz. I could basically do it on command,
I have super powers!
