Darkcide
“I wanted to destroy everything beautiful I’d never have.” — Chuck Palahniuk.
I watched the city burn.
The heat flickered around, lighting up the dark and crowded streets. Screams vibrated through my skull, pleading, begging me to help. Why on earth should I help them anymore?
They hated me, they all turned on me. I owed them nothing.
Emptiness swallowed me as I searched the streets for her face. I knew I would find nothing. She was gone. Being a ‘superhero’ was even more dangerous and idiotic than it was in the movies.
Things had started out so right. I was helping people, saving them, putting bad guys in prison. I was on top of the world after a science experiment gone very wrong.
It was like I was stuck in some reject Marvel Comic gone horribly awry. I was given some strange super power and a savior complex. Probably the worst combination ever.
But, then everyone turned on me. Allison turned on me.
They deserved to burn.
