[PI] The superhero with the most useless powers saves humanity during it's darkest hours

Chaim couldn't do it. He tried hoisting his arms up, but the cold, heavy pickaxe anchored them to the ground. Cold sweat dripped from his brow.

The signs were showing, and Adam didn't like them. Tremors had become regular as of late, but they seemed to be localized, as if following Adam. The sky above his apartment couldn't make up its mind, sunny one hour and churning the next. Dogs that usually barked with joy when he rounded the corner now only tucked th...

You ever have one of those days? I'm not talking like a red-wine-on-white-carpet day, I'm talking about one of those really, really shitty days. Like, you lost the Johnson account, and your boss reamed you a new one just before he fired you. So you head home early, because at least your loving wife will be waiting for ...

For fifteen years Vinny had kept his story going. Roger Dodger the supreme soldier had battled through every enemy that Vinny could think of.

Bound by the restraints that I have put into my own work, I am limited in my options in which I can dispose of Gary. If this had been a story of dragons or spaceships I would have an endless multitude of ways in which to destroy him. However. . . my setting is rather simple, quaint. My hand does not allow me to break t...

“Are you insane? Coming in here shouting orders, raising your guns and screaming through the halls? I should sue!” Sergeant Argus Paine perched awkwardly on the edge of the plush leather sofa, his enormous titanium armour digging roughly into his backside. On the low coffee table before him sat a glass of lemonade, al...

The sun shone through the white clouds like a painting. It was beautiful. More beautiful than the flowers Janet brought. They were already decaying, even though she bought them a few hours ago. She had a groundskeeper lead her to the fresh grave of Diana Brooks: her mother. As her mother's grave came into sight, a ma...

[WP] Tell me about the time you went on a blind date with a mythological figure
Katherine, the cold, cold bitch that she was, mushed my goddamned heart to a pulpy, hardly-beating mess. That was six months ago. Six months without my dog or the couch that I had thrown out at her request. I fucking loved that couch. I was drinking, heavily I'll admit, enough anyway to stave off feelings of desponde...

[WP] Tell me about the time you went on a blind date with a mythological figure
When I agreed to a blind date, I didn't expect to actually be blind. I mean, I'm currently blindfolded, sitting at her dinner table, making conversation with an actual goddess. Why am I blindfolded? 1) Soft voice, hint of a Greek accent. The kind of voice that makes men wet themselves. 2) Behind that voice, there is an...

He kept calling me 'm'lady' and tipping his stupid hat!" Nope, I don't wanna hear it. That's baby stuff compared with the clusterfuck I had to sit through....

What I do? It's not so different from teaching high school history, before the War. I know it sounds crazy, but at heart i use the same skills when I lead men into battle that I did when I used to lecture on the French Revolution. You needed to project authority, provide discipline, be a mentor and a role model, just a...
