Immortal

I wake up one morning and I feel a little more energetic than usual. Now I’m on my way to the grocery store to do a little shopping. The place ends up getting robbed and I get shot, but I don’t die! I’m now confused and don’t know what to do so in panic I run home and hopes that no one noticed me. I start pacing back and forth trying to figure out what is going on with me. Who do I tell, do I tell anyone? How long am I going to be immortal? I know for sure this one thing; I am not going to let the government know what is going on. Now I start thinking of all the things I can do with out the consequence of dying!!
There are many reasons why I should not tell anyone especially the government about being immortal. If I were to tell anyone they would totally freak out and assume that I might be dangerous. For example, if I were to go and tell my sister that I got shot this morning she would immediately call 911 and tell them I’m a threat to society. Then the government would find out and it would be out of control. They would want to use me to do all there top secret missions because I can’t die. They would eventually use me as a lab rat, and study why I am immortal. There are many advantages to being immortal as well as many disadvantages.
Although there may be many advantages being immortal, like being able to sky dive, bungee jump and travel the world, there are also many disadvantages. You will never grow old and die. Never experience growing old with someone you love and enjoy what everyone else has. You will exist forever. With the advantages you could travel the world and do as much as wish to do in your life. You have more than a lifetime to experience many different things no one else would have time to do. Now that I’m immortal I would love to go sky diving, swim in the ocean, and bungee jump off the tallest bridge. As well as rock climbing, hiking and not be scared of getting killed by wild animals.
So as you see what it is like to...
