A bright smile. “Good morning!”

A twitch of the brows. “How’s it goin?”

A nod of the head. “How do you do?”

A respectful bow. “Sir, Madam.”

A lively cheer. “Top o’ the mornin to ya!”

Man, am I running out of greetings.

“Guten tag,” I say to the elderly couple I saw leaving the hotel earlier this morning. “I’m Jeremy. Feel free to ask me if you need anything!” I shout as they walk away. They’...

I met him in the club and that was that. One night with Andrew Merricks and I’m stuck with this … I don’t want to say it’s a burden. It has its uses. The first time it happened I saved someone’s life! But the sensation it gives me, that feeling of dissociation that surrounds me when time slows down. It’s horrible!

I do what anyone would if they were in my situation, I use my ability to help peopl...

Her hair whipped around violently at the howling wind that rang in our ears. Her face became covered and soon she felt like nobody. No longer did she feel like my wife. I jumped, not thinking, not processing, just trying to get to the love of my life. The building was 50 stories high, I’d never make it. The train station was empty. The last train screeched to a stop. Somehow the train felt impatie...

Traveling fast

Don’t look back

Ever last

Survive the blast

Finding strength

Run the length

Hiding beneath

Proceed don’t think

Slow motion sleuth

Know the truth

Holding back now let loose

Sipping lightly on vermouth

“So we meet again Captain Mercury. You were a—“ Magnus Kraken said.

“Yeah I was a fool to be lured into your lair. Yadda yada. Hurry up with your evil villain wrap-up.”

Clad in slick black latex with electric blue racing stripes, the superhero looked fast even bound tight to a large metal table. Dangling menacingly, a high powered laser was aimed directly at his groin. Villains were always trying...

Being a “superhuman” sucks.

Alright, that may sound over dramatic, but let me explain.

When I first discovered I could do things others could only dream of, I was excited. Of course l was. I was a dumb fourteen-year-old who didn't understand what “kronomantic tendencies” meant. Let alone the implications of that. The two words stamped on my brand new government assigned ID felt like a message to...

i’ve always been told i like to speed through life, never stopping to take in my surroundings. this is so funny to me because from my perspective, i do take my time. it’s not my fault everyone else can’t seem to move any faster. even as far back as early childhood, i won every sports day race, was always the quickest to answer questions in class, and read books at what everyone else seemed to thin...

“Hellooooo”, a stranger on the street bellowed in a deep low growl as they tried to get my attention, while waving their hand in my face and blocking my view. This happens to me frequently, and I usually get away from this by acting deaf or just giving up and running away. A crowd of pigeons fly past me at a snail’s pace while the cars in the street just never seem to move, these things used to am...

Hovering the city at nights doing the job nobody else would even think about doing. Saving his city from the empty barrels that spreads crime and violence. But only if he could stop the crime while they were taking place. Slower than a tortoise and can’t react to incidents in time....

The thing about the way you see the world is that it’s all internal. There’s no way to be sure we all interpret colors the same way. I think about this sometimes: think that my red might be someone else’s green. And there would be no way to tell. There are differences you *can* tell. Aphantasia, for one, the inability to form mental images. But the interesting thing about people with aphantas...
