Tales From October Volume II

I paused for but another second, as I thought of my exit, not wanting the trouble of an identity hassle, but realized that would have to wait. So I raced to the roof, feeling the power rise as my adrenalin surged.

And off the roof I leapt
But nay not straight into
A graceful flight
For I careened alas
And felt me out of it
Which hardly was
The way I needed be

The onset of a little panic cured that shakiness and then I soared towards the swiftly burning building, determined to do whatever I could to help.

I arrived and immediately flew to the screaming people trapped in the upper floors. "Quickly, jump into my arms and I'll take you to street below."

"Oh thank you thank you. We've missed the comforting presence of strordinaires."

"That can wait Janet, he has to save us first."

"Yes Ralph, I know that, I was just happy to see a strordinaire after all this time."

Ralph rolled his eyes and leapt into my arms, followed, after a few tense moments of fear by Janet. I dropped them at the street and flew back up as the first firetrucks arrived on the scene, shuddering at the thought of being in a relationship seemingly such as theirs.
