Dog Slobber

There were no lights in the alleyway behind the building, and Jo Schmo was afraid of the dark. She had to keep reminding herself that she was a superhero and she had the best Knuckle Sandwich the world has ever known. “I stopped a train,” she whispered to herself. “I stopped a speeding car.”

Saying this didn’t help at all. An alleyway at night in the abandoned warehouse district was a very scary place.

“Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven...”

The bank robbers were still counting the loot. Jo found the back door and tried the knob. Locked. No problem if your name is Jo Schmo. She busted through the door with one punch and found herself in a dark hallway.

“One hundred seven, one hundred eight, one hundred nine...”

The bank robbers were too excited counting the loot to be bothered by other things—like the sound of a splintering back door. Or the sound of a superhero creeping down the hall. They had other things on their minds (besides the loot), like vacations involving a beach.

“I hope Raymond is still drooling,” Jo whispered to herself.
