Chronically Ill Hero Idea

Their body was not built for fights, for daring escapes or for high-speed chases.

But the hero did not care.

So what if it made the pain flare so bad they remained incapacitated for weeks, body trapped in bed, head rested on a pillow just wishing for an end? So what if it only got harder and harder to move and keep up, the close calls getting closer and closer, the brushes with death getting more and more frequent?

It made them feel alive.

More alive than the sight of ivory walls, more alive than the feel of a needle entering the crook of their arm, more alive than the taste of another bitter prescription.

So if destroying their body was the price to pay, then so be it.

They would die to feel alive.
