In college Eugene met a girl who never ate. He thought it was amazing until she got so thin and weak she was sent away and someone explained to him about anorexia.
Later, he became friends with a co-worker who could walk on water. They would go fishing up at the guy's cottage on a lake and it was delightful to watch the guy walk out twenty feet on the water!
And he dated a girl who could walk through a door without opening it--not walls, just doors--but she dumped him for a guy who could write script.
But he never met anyone else who could fly.
