Hilarious. I love the serious, somber, thoughtful tone in light of the picture. Great ending, revealing that the speaker dresses like a possum. Oh, and I htink you missed a word in that last sentence.

It’s like No Country For Old Men, but with an old superhero instead of an old sheriff. In a side note, that is one of the most absurd pictures I’ve ever seen.

Couldn’t resist a sequel. I really liked the character’s voice you started here. I hope I did it justice.

Excellent ficlet! I agree with the comments above – this gets it all right in terms of subject, tone, everything. I kind of wish I could unsee the picture, though…

Funny, how Mr Possum Man tells the story. I like the matter of fact tone talking about something so surreal.

This was really superb. The somber tone of voice set against the complete idocy of the described heroes and villains had me in stitches.

Oh yes, and the possum being left for dead was a great idea.

Thanks everybody for the feedback; glad you enjoyed it. THX ; fixed the missing word.

I have to ask: What’s LoA?

League of Awesomeness. Just figured it out ;)
