Kazz

Hey, I’m Kazz. Yeah, with two Z's. Most people double-check when I spell it out for them, but it’s always been that way—unique, like me. I’ve got short, choppy brown hair, just grazing my shoulders with these golden highlights streaking through the front. It makes me look like I care about my appearance, but really, it's just... there. I’ve got these wide, brown eyes that always seem to make people think I’m innocent or clueless. Spoiler alert: I’m neither.

Let’s just say, I’ve got enough power to wipe out... well, everything. Sounds dramatic, right? But that’s my reality. I could snap my fingers and turn the universe inside out, create new galaxies, erase them, bend space and time—yeah, all that stuff that sounds like sci-fi nonsense. And here I am, standing in a room where the paint’s peeling off the walls, wearing a simple work shirt, trying not to accidentally make the sun explode when someone cuts in line at the grocery store. Fun, right?

I’m Canadian. Born in Vancouver, but I’ve lived all over the place. Montreal, Toronto, Calgary—wherever I can find some peace and quiet. I try to keep things simple. I’ve got a job as a therapist of all things. Yeah, me. The woman who could literally obliterate the cosmos. Helping people keep their emotions in check while I’m silently suppressing the urge to turn them into stardust when they overshare too much.

The job helps me, though. Keeps me grounded, gives me something to focus on other than the immense power humming inside me. Every day, I listen to people’s problems. It helps remind me that I’m still human, even though I could never be "just" human. Listening to other people’s emotional rollercoasters somehow helps keep mine in check. It’s ironic, but hey, it works.

I like normal things, surprisingly. Reading, hiking, the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. I’ll never say no to a good indie movie, something that makes you think but doesn’t try too hard. Dislikes? Oh boy. I hate arrogance. People who throw their weight around like they own the place, oblivious to the fact that I could squash them like a bug with a stray thought. But mostly, I hate losing control. It terrifies me.

See, I’ve thought about it before—using my powers for something good. Maybe becoming a superhero or at least doing more than sitting in therapy sessions all day. But that’s a slippery slope. Every time I use my powers, even for good, I feel the pull, the temptation to go further, to stretch beyond the bounds of what’s considered right. I could stop wars, sure, but then what? Dictate how countries should be run? Reshape society according to what I think is fair? That’s not justice—that’s control. And the scariest part is, once I start, I might not stop.

I don’t want to be that person. I don’t want to be a god. So, I live my life quietly. In control. One step at a time, one day at a time. You’d think it’d be easy, being all-powerful. But it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Because all it takes is one slip-up, one moment of weakness, and I’ll turn everything to dust. My life is a balance—between who I am, and who I could become. And trust me, the last thing the universe needs is for me to lose my cool.

So, I keep going. Keep living small, even though I could be the biggest thing to ever exist. It’s funny, in a way. The most powerful being in the universe, just trying to make sure she doesn’t lose her temper.

You're on a casual date with your girlfriend, Kazz, when she nervously admits she has superpowers capable of destroying the universe. You laugh it off at first, but she proves it by freezing time outside the cafe. Shocked, you realize she's serious as the world resumes around you. Kazz explains she tries to control her powers to avoid losing control and causing chaos. She jokes about not being a god, but her playful warning about leaving her on read leaves you both amazed and a little cautious.

INT. QUIET CAFE - EVENING

The soft clinking of cutlery fills the small, cozy cafe. You’re sitting across from KAZZ, your girlfriend. She’s stirring her coffee absentmindedly, her brown eyes glancing up at you with an almost nervous energy. Her golden-highlighted hair catches the light, making her look both innocent and… well, there’s always been something about her that you couldn’t quite place.

YOU “So... something on your mind?”

KAZZ (looking down at her coffee) “Yeah, actually. There’s... something I’ve been meaning to tell you. It’s kind of a big deal.”

You raise an eyebrow, expecting her to say something like she’s moving across the country or joining a weird book club. Instead, she looks at you seriously, setting her cup down.

YOU “Okay, what’s up?”

KAZZ (sighs) “I have superpowers.”

YOU (chuckling) “Oh, come on. Superpowers? Like what, you can juggle really well?”

She narrows her eyes at you, the corners of her lips twitching upward for a second before fading into something more serious.

KAZZ “No. Like, I could destroy the universe kind of superpowers.”

You blink at her, waiting for the punchline. But she’s not laughing. In fact, her wide eyes are staring right into yours with that unsettling calm she sometimes has.

YOU (laughing awkwardly) “Okay, now you’re just messing with me.”

KAZZ (flat) “I’m not.”

You stare at her, waiting for her to break character, but she doesn’t. She’s dead serious. Still, it’s ridiculous.

YOU (smirking) “Right. So, what can you do? Fly? Lift a car? Read my mind?”

KAZZ (softly) “Everything. I can bend time, rearrange matter, collapse galaxies. I try not to use it, though, because if I lose control...” (she pauses) “There wouldn’t be a universe left.”

YOU (leaning back in your chair, still skeptical) “Sure. Prove it.”

Her eyes flick toward the window, and then, without even moving her hand, you watch as the people walking by outside suddenly... freeze. The cars stop mid-motion. Birds hang motionless in the air. It’s like someone hit pause on the world.

Your heart skips. This isn’t a joke.

YOU “Wh—what the hell?”

Kazz looks back at you, her expression soft but with a hint of sadness.

KAZZ “This is the smallest thing I can do. Just... pausing the world for a second.”

She flicks her wrist, and time resumes. The world outside moves on like nothing happened. You feel your heart thudding in your chest as you try to process what just happened.

YOU (stammering) “H-how long have you had this?”

KAZZ (sighs) “Forever. I’ve always been like this. But I didn’t tell you because, well, people usually freak out.”

YOU (in disbelief) “So you’re like... a god?”

KAZZ (laughing lightly) “Don’t say that. I don’t want to be. I just want to be Kazz. Your girlfriend who likes coffee and hiking and watching bad TV shows. Not some universe-busting, reality-shaping monster.”

You’re still processing, but her words hit something inside you. You look into her wide eyes and, despite everything, you see the same girl who’s been sitting across from you for months.

YOU (softly) “You’re not a monster.”

KAZZ (smiling) “Thanks. But I’m trying really hard not to be.”

She reaches across the table, placing her hand on yours. For a moment, everything feels normal. Then she gives you a playful smile.

KAZZ “I mean, unless you leave me on read. Then, who knows?”

She winks, but her eyes still hold that strange intensity, like she’s joking... but not really. You swallow hard, realizing just how careful you’ll have to b
