Gary Ciaramella Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 All you have to do is write a superhero story that is fifty words long. No more. No less. The title, which should not be long, is not included in the fifty words but any title longer than a few words wouldn't be in the spirit of a fifty word story. Have at it!

A shadow of a smile played his lips as he listened to its owner attempt to assert his authority. Would he ever learn? Breath and arrow flew in unison, the target exploding in a fiery cloud of burning bills. Hopefully not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After over a century as the Specter, he faced a fellow immortal which his own heart stopped him from harming. A woman who had emotional scars from the last time they had met than ran very deep indeed. Her only words, "Hello, Father." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Walkur Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: 50 Word Superhero Stories! Black on Black The first kill is the hardest...but I was past the first. I’d stepped over that line when Ridell decided that “life is cheap†was good economics. What was his life worth? Ridell’s eyes widened. And black lightning jetted from me like blood from an artery and struck him dead-center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he smile? It wasn’t as if this was a joke. “No, longer. As long as I’ve known about you.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earnest young man nodded, eager to see the end of their flight together.
