[WP] It's been years since you defeated the Beast. His endless yet predictable attacks were no match for your defensive strategies. And then, on your day of rest no less, you hear the drone of his war machine. Grimly, you once again prepare yourself to battle with the man who calls himself Postman.

"Um, Izzy? You doing all right?" I ignored the question; knowing it came from a place of concern didn't make it any easier to answer. The darkness of my room pressed in around me, feeling like a comforting blanket, hiding me from the world; hiding me from the reality of Laia's death. "Only, you've been in there for fi...

The day I decided to remain under the influence was lost to my scattered mind, but I do remember parts of it. The screaming, the yelling, the destroyed buildings. The bodies. They like you to believe that heroes are all-good, that they don't make mistakes, that they would never do anything to hurt anyone even the v...

The last time I was sober was my 16th birthday. That day I got my powers and ever since I always had to occupy myself with something. I am so used with being on drugs that I’m not affected much by them. Often when people see me drinking and smoking weed, a cigarette to calm down the nerves, along with occasional other ...

Preface: doing this on mobile so please excuse any formatting issues. Star Grasp, or Hank when out of uniform, was a great man and a worthy friend.

Those who say alcoholism is selfish really didn't know how selfless it was for me to stay drunk out of my fucking mind. The drinking made everything just a little too slow. Thoughts would trot instead of racing, memories would stumble gently upon my brain instead of hitting it full-force. Everything was a bit dim; an...

Heroes don't die. Virgil checked the time: 4:47 pm. Outside, the sky was rusting. *Don't think.* No good. It was the worst possible version of "don't imagine a pink elephant."

It's a dark and somber night at the Heros Headquarters, all the lights are out except for one, a small light come from one of the rooms on the top floor, in there is a man slumped over a desk, surrounded but liquors, drugs and ash from old cigarettes, writting on a journal: "April 26, 3:42 A.M. : We were all there...

He...he's gone. I can't believe it, my best friend. My ride or die. My brother, not by blood, but brother nonetheless, gone. I can still see the blood dripping off of Korzone's fist, each drop echoing in my mind. The look of satisfaction, the....*enjoyment* of having slain yet another hero. Then....the rest of my team ...

Pt1. My mind was racing as I sat hunched over head in hands.  The occasional rumble from the dropship causing my stomach to lurch as we descended through the atmosphere to our target location.  It had only been a week since Blueflame's accident, the thought causing me to make an unflattering sound in my throat.  I inst...

Did you know alcohol and many other stimulant drugs are classified as depressants? They release dopamine reserves, and other such “Feel Good” chemicals, and make you feel really happy for a short period of time. That’s why you usually see binge drinkers get really sad after a while, and partially why hangovers suck. I...

From within the city walls, everyone heard the loud and unnerving *boom* from the outlands as it traveled the empty night sky. Throughout the city, lights turned on, windows were opened, people took to the streets. It was 3 AM, yet everyone seemed to understand. Explosions and loud noises were common occurrences outsi...

“No one is special if everyone is special” I scoff every time I think of those words. Said by someone who WAS special even after the awakening. Everyone had powers now.

"I can quit whenever I want." "So why don't you?" "Because I *don't*." That should've been the end of that. But let's face it, when you spend half your time stoned out of your mind and the other half so damn hammered that they could get drunk off your blood, it was understandably hard to let the topic rest. Even a b...

Booze makes me miss things. Not like "I wish I hadn't broken up with Joanna in tenth grade", more like "I suspect you've been shaving money off your worker's retirement deposits, but I can't see I saw you do it."

Alcohol doesn't actually affect me physically. Nothing does, really. All powers worth a damn are just telekinesis at the end of the day. No difference with ol' Big Brother, neither. The booze is just strong enough of a syncretic metaphysical totem that it allows me to feel as though it has an affect on me: so it do...

For the longest time, I'd followed her wherever she lead. She had a way of inspiring people, of making them want to be better, of enabling them to become so much more.

I stand in the woods outside the base. The base that my friend died in three days ago, trying to infiltrate. And now, here I am. Alone. Maybe this is stupid, but I don't care.

It was so long ago. The last time he could feel everything. the alcohol had always killed just enough of the emotions, not his but theirs. The drugs were there to stop the crying out.
