Comments on 'And No Possum Phone Either'So, after the buttocks fiasco, I didn't think the day could get any worse. I was half out of my fur-lined costume, which was looking a little ratty so I made a mental note to check the old highway for extra fun, when the call came. And no, I don't have a 'Possum Phone'. That would be silly. I have a Juke, thank you very much.
The Magnetic Brothers were downtown again causing a scene. Supposedly, they didn't even have any powers, just a penchant for indecent exposure and a flare for the dramatic. In other words, they were right in my league at this point of my career, the twilight years of my heroism.
I shimmied back into my suit, checked my cache of weapons, made sure the ion drive for the suit's exoskeleton was running hot, and I was out the door. Since I'd left the stove on, preheating for some leftover pizza, I had to double back. But then I was off, to serve and protect and hide my dissatisfaction with life in conflict.
It's a living. I just wish I'd paid more attention to 'supposedly'.2008-06-03T21:53:11Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/32926Comment on And No Possum Phone Either<p>Excellent stuff. There’s obviously a gaping void for slightly ridiculous superhero tales left by the Tick and such.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/32926?basename=677272008-06-03T21:53:11ZWolfechuhttp://ficlets.com/authors/wolfechuComment on And No Possum Phone Either<p>To make it even more funny you could have written something about “attracting a crowd”. Well done, keeping it in the same character voice.<br />LoA.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/32926?basename=676482008-06-03T18:21:14ZPyroPunk 51 (PPP LoA)http://ficlets.com/authors/pyropunkComment on And No Possum Phone Either<p>Great sequel, perfectly matched with the tone of the original. Extra points for the phrase “buttocks fiasco.”</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/32926?basename=676022008-06-03T15:36:23ZEckhousehttp://ficlets.com/authors/eckhouseComment on And No Possum Phone Either<p>I liked your crafty use of the word supposedly. And I laughed at the description of their penchant for indecent exposure. Great sequel that focuses on the silly picture a little more as well. The last sentence of the second paragraph may be missing a word.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/32926?basename=675972008-06-03T15:07:24Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace
