The Straw That Broke the Superhero’s Back
How much can a man, especially if he is a superhero, take? Striped searched and sent to the pokey as an illegal alien. Locked up with liars, thieves, and murderers and treated as a common criminal by the warden and prison guards alike. Scorned as a snitch and Boy Scout by the other inmates, Supermale, the defender of truth, liberty, and the American way of life, declines to escape since it would be breaking the law and send the wrong message to America’s youth. Finally, since his country of origin no longer exists and the authorities have no place to deport him to, the super patriot is declared a national security threat and detained at GitmoBay as an enemy combatant.
Is that the final straw that breaks the superhero’s back or is there more? At any rate, Supermale’s gone and left us. How does that bode for the future of the United States and the free world?
Has it ever occurred to you, what if there really was such a thing as a superhero? What problems might he or she face? How about sex, for instance? Or what about changing into their costume? How many costumes would he or she have to have? Who would make them? Well, that's what happened to me. Supermale's Gone and Left us is the result. I hope it provides a few chuckles.
