“The Superhero Fan” by Rishab Gupta

Submitted to Contest #48

The sun let out an eye piercing heat wave as Ken Morrison, living in 6897 W, Orchosacharian Shea, sat in his car carrying a pile of books from the library. His curly and dark brown hair soaked up the sun’s attack and warmed him. His cotton shirt was turquoise. He had a matching color of Under Armor shoes and shorts. His photo-chromatic eyeglasses were shaded. The glasses were absorbing the heat completely. His face was beaded with sweat. He was sitting just beside the driver’s seat. In the driver’s seat, sat his mom. She was wearing her avia...

“I'm From Egypt” by Christine Hungerford

Submitted to Contest #48

A knock tore Bastet from reading her beloved Marvels comics. She rolled her eyes and wheeled her desk chair away from the prized possession, calling “Come in!” “I would like to discuss your antisocial behavior at school.” Bastet’s mother invited herself into her bedroom and swung it closed. Going around to her sky blue comforter and plopping down, she playfully swung Bastet’s chair so Bastet—and her downcast eyes and clasped hands—faced her....

“Permafrost” by Angel Browne

Submitted to Contest #48

Since I was a kid, I have always been collecting comics. When my peers were at the Café I spent all my time in the library. My town was very weird. We could not have a comic store but did have a comics section in the library apparently. Being a girl who is interested in comics and skateboarding was like wearing a bully-me target. I liked to call my room ‘The Crib’. Now don’t judge me, but when you have five brothers it affects your head. They were way older than me and were attracted to sports and the female commentators it offered...

“The Collection” by Robert Black

Submitted to Contest #48

The fall of 1974 saw 7-year-old Freddy stuck at home for a few weeks due to illness. On this particular Friday Freddy was, as usual, in his room just watching Television and wishing he were out with his friends playing Football when his father came in to see him. " Hi son, How are you feeling today?" he asked just like every day. "Fair to meddling" uttered Freddy in his standard response. He knew that he and his father had very little in common and that he was uncomfortable around him. , Freddy had always been curious and devoured informatio...

“A Super Find” by Trish Beauchemin

Submitted to Contest #48

Sebastian just couldn’t resist a yard sale. He stepped off the bus at the end of a long night shift at the bottle factory. He couldn’t wait to get home, flop into his armchair and turn on the tv. As he turned the corner, he saw a driveway full of furniture and tables covered in books, clothing, and all the usual discarded items. Sebastian had found some fantastic things at yard sales, so he stopped to hunt for hidden treasure. After all, most of his apartment was furnished with tables and chairs from yard sales or second-hand stores. So...

“Who Am I Kidding?” by Rebecca Lowe

Submitted to Contest #48

Who Am I Kidding? I’m here again. Why can’t I stop this habit? Sure, I’m not hurting anyone. The sun set not too long ago and the street lights are just coming on. A stray cat sniffs around the dumpster behind El Guapo’s restaurant. I check my side mirrors, making sure no one is around. A fine dust starts to glitter in my headlights. Another check of the mirror and I catch myself looking in the rear view mirror. “I know, I know”, I answer the eyes in the mirror. “Just one more time. I p...

“Rory's obsession” by Denise Butler

Submitted to Contest #48

Rory Winston was a thirteen year old girl who was a loner; Rory loved being alone with her comic books. She didn't mind that she had no friends. As long as she could imagine that she was her favorite comic character. Her favorite character was tear drop Tina. Tear drop Tina was a character that could cry so many tears she could make her own river. Rory wish that she could possess such a power; so that she could get back at her bullies at school. But for now she would stay in her room and pretend that she was tear drop Tina. Rory would get a ...

“Human Heroes” by Alina Kustowska

Submitted to Contest #48

Devon was walking to school, his bag hanging heavily off his shoulders. He tried to rub the syrup stain off of his hand-me-down red shirt before entering Trevino Middle School. His white, high-tops’s shoelaces were left untied, dragging on the ground, getting dirtier with every step. He was hoping for one thing when he got to school; that Nico wouldn’t see him. This all started one year ago, the first day of seventh grade. ~~~ Devon had just moved from Maine to Illinois, into a new school, Trevino Middle. It was hard to leave Maine bec...

“The New Addition to Reliable Red Roman” by Daniela D.

Submitted to Contest #48

“And your change is a dollar, seventy-five.” I cup my hand towards the cashier’s, feeling the cool metal graze against the pads of my fingers. Dropping my change into my wallet, I take my cup of coffee and press the two newly released comic books against my chest. I step outside the convenience store, the air is starting to thicken as the sky brightens above me. Various people spend their loose change and paychecks on different things. Some adults walk into Al’s corner store needing a pack of smokes, others need an emergency pregnancy test o...

“The new edition” by Atharva Verma

Submitted to Contest #48

The store was dark and cold. The man at the counter was picking his nose, eating pickles, and there was a traffic jam going on outside. As I was searching for the new Batman Arkham night edition, I found a book that had all the marvel characters and their stats. It was cheap and had bad quality. Well, I’m a cheapskate, so I took it. To be exact, it was 5 dollars. I grabbed it and went to the counter to ask where the new Batman Arkham night edition was. “Sorry Nate, but it’s not in the store. Too expensive,” he said. He also said that ...

“A Comic Doesn't Define You ” by Angie Al

Submitted to Contest #48

1938. That was the year I got my first comic. Superman. He was awesome. He was followed by Batman, Ironman, Captain America, and Spider-Man. Spider-Man was my favorite. I wanted to be just like him. The friendly neighborhood Spider-Man who was constantly trying to prove his worth. I wanted to show everybody I was more than the little scrawny girl they saw when they spared me a glance. I wished on every shooting star and birthday candle that I could meet him. If I could, even for just 5 seconds, it would make up for not having any friends, fo...

"Finally, I'm complete," we said in unison and flashed our best smiles at each other.After a long night at the company where I am working, I am now getting ready to prepare my brother's breakfast. His name is Clarke. He's an 8-year-old sweet little boy with a rosy cheeks that would always tempt you to pinch (he doesn't like that though).Every day for several weeks now, he gets up early and rushes to the door. There's not even a "good morning" for us. That little guy, he really forgets us every time he thinks of that comic book he's addicted ...

I need a favour from you.” said Tony. “Oh and what would that be.” asked Clementine. “Well I have an appointment with a very important client tomorrow, and I need someone to look after the shop for a couple of hours or so. What do you say?”said Tony. Clementine smiled at the thought of looking after the shop for Tony. The store was in the main city with a lot of traffic that went thro...

“The Marble ” by Matt Render

Submitted to Contest #48

The whole obsession began with a tiny blue marble. Roger’s breath grew deep as held the tiny blue marble, one of the only remaining relics which his father had passed down to him. As he thumbed it between his palm, his bones trembled. The blue inside the marble was so deep and intense, Roger felt himself being sucked inside. Roger was a child without many friends; he didn’t play sports, he wasn’t the most intelligent, and after his older brother had died from a sudden case of pneumonia, Roger was reduced to spending most...

“Mother's Name” by Paula Espinosa V.

Submitted to Contest #48

The only time Mother ever disclosed something about who my real father was, we were moving from Seattle to New York. Mother was on the phone talking to Aunt Margaret about being afraid that I might find “it” during the move, and then she would be forced to talk to me about it. Mother packed the entire house by herself, she used to wait until I was in school, or out playing with friends to pack the boxes, label them, and even start putting them in in the moving truck she rented to drive across the country. When Mother was sleeping, I used to ...
