The Lines Have Just Blurred Real Fast

There’s not really anything for me to do, but go right up to the police station and try to get a job with them. So I drive my shiny new car and park behind the shops. I tell you what though, this car is fast off the mark. I don’t think it came like this…… Continue reading The Lines Have Just Blurred Real Fast

Gear Collection

I don’t know about you, but when I’m asked (or even coerced) into signing something, I read the fine print. I read the boring bits, the legal bits, the limited liability bits, the bits that mention a death clause, and the bits that wouldn’t stand up in court. I read the bits that are standard…… Continue reading Gear Collection

I’m No Spy?

I get to HQ and straight away I notice something’s off. There are more people in than usual, everyone’s walking around talking fast in the way that’s half gossip, half work. I hear all sorts of snippets of conversation. Sounds like superheroes are going missing. Zeb’s missing. The spider guy with the webs is missing.…… Continue reading I’m No Spy?

I’m No Spy

My watch rang. It was Zeb. But he was silent. Could his superhero powers to indicate information to me work via phone? I listened. I thought. I concentrated. Nothing. Seems his telepathic powers don’t work on 5G. But something was up. I suspected that since Big Boss wasn’t calling, that I shouldn’t contact her. I…… Continue reading I’m No Spy

Week Off (Kind Of)

I’ve had such a relaxing week. It’s been so good. You might think I had the week off work, but when you work for the Superhero HQ there’s no such thing as a week off. This was a typical day for me: 6am Wake up, hit the gym. It’s peak training hour before work so…… Continue reading Week Off (Kind Of)

Meeting with the Big Boss

Big Boss has called me in. The main light is off, and a couple of lamps keep the room warmly lit. I know this is for my benefit. She has been listening to me. But there’s more to it than that. I’m sitting on her couch. It’s dark green leather. It looks really nice, but…… Continue reading Meeting with the Big Boss

Something Going On At The Pier

OK. So. Something big has been going on at the pier. I want to tell you all about it, but first. You know where I live, right? In case you don’t know, I’m in a small bayside suburb, which is kind of like a small town. I’m not in the big smoke, that’s for sure.…… Continue reading Something Going On At The Pier

Why Don’t I Just Break Bones And Walk Away?

So you might be wondering why I didn’t just break the guy’s finger from last week and walk away. Look, if you’re not a superhero, you can do that. But I am. I’m in the guild. I’ve got the badge. The phone. I’m one of them. Walking away would be easier, but that doesn’t follow…… Continue reading Why Don’t I Just Break Bones And Walk Away?

Low-Key Superhero-ing

I don’t go looking for trouble, but sometimes trouble finds me. I like to go for walks in the evening. No, I’m not telling you where. That’s classified. It’s a security risk. So I like to go for evening walks. It’s calm. It’s quiet. People don’t ask me for autographs or photos. Selfies. Ugh. Don’t…… Continue reading Low-Key Superhero-ing

Hi, I’m Anja

Hi, I’m Anja. It’s pronounced Anya. So… Hi, I’m Anja. Anja Storm. And I’m a superhero. People think superhero work is all about saving people and beating people. Rescuing cats. Taking down mega villains. That sort of thing. But it’s not all that. See, we get a granny’s purse back, and then we’ve gotta pick…… Continue reading Hi, I’m Anja
