A Hero’s Heart
Why do I deserve to live? Why was I, out of the billions of people on Earth, the one who had to live? I should be grateful for another day on Earth, but I'm not. It should have been him. It should have been my brother.
A Letter to Cassie
Dear Cassie,
Today did not go well. I thought since Dad had broken out of prison again and Mom was on leave for 'accidentally' throwing a villain through the Mayor's office, that it would be nice to invite them both over for dinner. Mom wouldn't try to capture Dad and I would distract Dad with my famous spaghetti. It was a recipe for a successful dinner...or so I thought.
Consequences of Begging
"Please don't kill me. I slept with your wife!" Kahleed cried in desperation.
Anchor Face lowered his pistol, taken aback by such a strange claim. Especially for being what would have been his last words.
"Come again?"
"I slept with your wife. Don't kill me!"
Anchor Face shook his anvil shaped head. "Wait. You think I would spare you for sleeping with my wife?"

It had been one year to the day Lenny started working at Hero's Inc. He had accomplished his dream of becoming a full time superhero, going by his alter ego, Spinach Head. Before that, he was a grocer at a vegan supermarket. Well, grocer and mascot. His face was on every advertisement the company made because his head was green. It resembled a head of lettuce more than spinach, but Lettuce Head never stuck, despite it being a better name.
No One is Bulletproof
"What do you mean you don't want to be a superhero?" Bill said.
"I mean I don't want to be a superhero. What is so hard to understand?" Lilly said, putting on her duty belt.
"You're bulletproof. You could do so much more with those talents than patrolling this beat. Not to mention a pay increase."
