Man I’ve looked up to my whole life,
You are a true hero in my eyes.
Support me through all my endeavors.
Understand me like no one else does.
Protect me from the evils in the world.
Entertain me with your witty humor.
Rescue me in my times of need.
My dear father, you are my hero.
Always be my Superman, and I will
Never stop loving you with all my heart!
Happy Father’s Day to my incredible dad! Thank you for always being my Superman, the greatest hero I could ever ask for! I love you!

Incredible how those words move me.
Let me hear you say them
Over and over again.
Vow that you will feel this way
Eternally, and I will do the same.
Your magic words captivate me.
Only you can make me feel such
Unequivocal and passionate love!
Happy Lovers’ Day to my family and friends in Brazil! Blessings to all you happy couples!

I’m feeling fine,
You calmly say.
Your life is good
And you’re okay.
I’m feeling good,
You realize.
Your heart is bright
As sunny skies.
I’m feeling bad,
You start to think
As all your spirits
Slowly sink.
You’re well again.
Your soul’s content.
But then you’re hit
With pure resent.
You’re doing great,
You’re grinning wide,
Until a rage
Fills you inside.
One minute, you feel
You could fly.
The next, you’re trying
Not to cry.
It comes and goes,
An endless track.
You think you’re fine.
And suddenly, whack:
The pendulum
Comes swinging back.

My heart stopped when my bedroom door began to open.
My computer had frozen, now of all times, and my mother was going to see all the dirty pictures I’d been looking up for the last hour!
But just as she stepped into the room, my screen suddenly shut off.
I turned around to see my cat standing on the computer plug, staring back at me with a look in his eyes that read: You owe me.
He’s going to feast on cat treats for the rest of his life.

“Remember the old days, when people used to cheer ‘Strongman!’ every time I threw a car at a villain and stopped him cold?”
“Now you’d get sued ’cause they just finished paying it off.”
“What about you, Lightning Girl? Your super speed used to be the talk of the town! What happened?”
“There’s nowhere to run anymore! A new building pops up in this city every month; the longest stretch of road anywhere is two blocks. That’s barely half a step!”
“At least invisibility still counts for something, right?”
“Hardly, Invisi-Boy! Kids today are so glued to their phones, they wouldn’t see a whale if it dropped out of the sky riding an army tank on fire!”
“What happened to the good old days?”
“Those days are long gone, my friend. Long gone indeed.”
Based on a superhero-themed writing prompt from Writer’s Carnival: Goooood Old Days!

(What If? Exercise: Read the description here.)
My friends insisted I come to the carnival with them.
For some reason, the fortune teller caught my eye.
She’s never wrong, the other gypsies warned us.
Come and learn your future, she said.
She laid the cards before us.
Flip to reveal your fate.
Sara’s fate was riches.
Joey’s was fame.
Mine, misfortune.
Death.
This piece is based on What If? Exercise 93: “Ten to One”. The exercise is to write a 55-word story in which the first sentence has ten words, the second has nine, etc., until the last sentence has only one word. The objective is to show that precision and thrift in writing can produce surprisingly powerful results. I hope you enjoy what I’ve written. Thanks for reading!
