Toronto, ON – Last night at 11:00 PM local superhero Narcolepsy Ned was found dead in a back alley off of Yonge St. It is believed that he may have fallen off a nearby building. The police have closed the case calling it an accident. His long time companion Sleepless Susie stated upon hearing the news “It’s not possible. I’ve seen him fall down elevator shafts. It’s his super power. He couldn’t have died from falling”. Despite Susie’s claims the police stated “Narcolepsy Ned has long been a hazard to himself and others. It was inevitable that he would meet his end this way.” The police and Ned have had a rocky relationship largely because Narcolepsy Ned’s ability to fall asleep at random has on many occasions thwarted crimes the police have been unable to stop. Narcolepsy Ned will be missed by many in the community who have grown fond of the man in the cape sleeping on the pavement. He is survived by a 10 year old son. Narcolepsy Ned was 38.

    Great character, and funny attitude by the cops—sort of the same reaction a lot of people had to the Crocodile Hunter’s death. Great job doing a fun sequel.

    I’m not sure how that’s actually a helpful superpower, but it’s a funny Ficlet.
    .
    My only complaint is the grammar – try breaking it up into paragraphs.
