Week 19: Flying with Superman

If you know me, you know that my favorite super hero of all time is Superman. I fell in love with superman when I started watching the TV series Smallville. SOOOOO here's my story (:

I'm running faster than cars are moving, and I can't stop. Someone is behind me, glowing red. They look furious and I just keep running away from this speedy person. Wait, I'm faster than them! I don't even know what is going on but I feel pretty good about myself! All of a sudden, I stop speeding like a bullet and the person runs into me. It's a girl. She looks so ugly when shes mad. She lunges towards me and I cringe and close my eyes, getting ready for the blow.....
I open my eyes. I'm sweating a waterfall and I'm in the middle of a corn field. Where am I? How did I get here? I look up and the sun is setting. Great. Just great! I'm lost and it's almost dark! I observe the sky more and see that the sun is red. red. How is it red? What universe am I in?! I just need to get out of here! I find a path of flattened corn stalks behind me and I'm following it. I'm making my way out of the corn field and find my feet on a dirt road. A house is just barely in my sight. I try to speed run....... nothing. I'm making my way up the porch steps and all of my thoughts are on the door. It's an  old door. Very rustic looking. It very much suits the country setting. I keep my focus on the door as my fist is hitting its splintered wood. I hear a click of a gun and step back.............. The door opens slowly......... In the opening I see a woman's face.
Her: (her face still in the small opening) "What do you want?"
Me: "I'm sorry to bother you Ma'am, but where am I?"
Her: "Granville, Kansas. Why?"
Me: "I'm lost and I just need a cell phone to call my dad. Please?"
Her: "I don't have a cell phone. I have a house phone though. Follow me."
I following her into her small but very comforting home and find myself lunging toward's the phone and I'm dialing my dad's number. The beep of the message that informs you that you somehow got the number wrong starts to ring into my ears  and I hung up. Tried three more times...... nothing. I tried my mom's phone, grandma's phone, both of my sisters' phones....... still nothing. Just that annoying beep and that woman's unrealistic voice saying the words you don't want to hear. I felt my blood run hot. A nerve racking surge went through my body and I started sweating. My heart was in my throat and my vision was flooded by fat and salty tears. I started to panic. I turned towards the woman and I could tell she was taking pity for me.
Me: "Please tell me there is a police station nearby."
Her: "The nearest one is in town here in Granville about 3 miles from here. I'm sorry."
Me: "Thank you Ma'am."
Her: "I can take you there if you'd like."
Me: "No thanks. I need to walk right now. But thank you so much for your assistance. Could you point me the right direction?"
I was headed down the road when a gush of wind came from behind me. I stopped and turned around to see Superman!
Him: "What are you doing here?! Where is the girl Kandorian I saw you run off with?!"
Me: (trying to figure out if this is really Superman) "Uhhhhh.. uhhh.. she um..."
Him: "Hurry up Jess we don't have time!"
Me: (confused out of my mind) "Youuu know who I am???"
Him: "Quit playing games with me and tell me where she went!"
Me: "I wish I knew where she went. She ended up chasing me and then I couldn't run anymore."
Him: (takes me into his arms) "I'm sorry that you're having trouble with developing your powers. I shouldn't have let you go out and fight. Go home and I'll help train you later. What direction did she go?"
Me: "Powers? What?
Him: (getting impatient with my confusion) "Tell me what direction she went! Hurry!"
Me: "I don't know, she knocked me out cold. How can I speed run like that? What's going on?"
Him: "Your powers must have gone out when the red eclipse covered the sun. We need to get you back to Watchtower."
Before I knew it I was resting in his big and warm arms as we were floating off of the ground! As we were gliding through the red sunset, I remembered that Superman gets his powers from the yellow sun........... this must be a phantom.



This is a picture of Lois Lane in the TV series Smallville. This is when she used the Legion ring (a time travel ring) and accidentally traveled to the future with it. The sun is red because the Kandorians formed an eclipse from the yellow sun's sun rays to make it red. Once the sun was red, the Kandorians gained their powers and Clark Kent lost his. Without Superman to protect the world, Kandorians took over and killed/imprisoned/slaved millions.

  1. You realized it only asked what power you want and would you be good or bad right?

    1. we've gone through this before "BostonTheGreat6". I enjoy writing and i like to write differently than others. i read some peoples blogs and they are boring. so i write stories to go with the theme of the blog if it would make sense to (unlike week 20 and others). Now it would be boring if i rattled on about what superman does and i want to be a Kryptonian like him. so instead of complaining and insisting that i give half butt to my assignments like you, you should start appreciating my writing. and if you cant, dont bother to read it if you have a problem with how i write. thank you.
