Prompt
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a story!
What superpower would you want if you could have one? Write a story about it! What is on the edge of reality? Are you thinking eccentric billionaires like Iron Man or Batman? Maybe an experiment gone wrong like the Hulk? Or maybe a super nerd with an eidetic memory like Sheldon Cooper. You are only limited by your own creativity. Also consider whether your superhuman is a super hero, a super villain, or a neutral character just navigating a chaotic situation.
Your story can include aliens, nuclear waste, radioactive arthropods, cyborgs, mind control, DC/Marvel characters, whatever your heart desires. Be as creative as you like. What you can NOT do is write a story that already exists.
Requirements: 850 words
