For this Reader versus Writer challenge my agent emailed me the following:
Hey James,
I said I would come up with an original story challenge, so here it is. I want to see you write a superhero story. I know, the modern superhero is basically a masturbatory power fantasy. Fantastic powers and costumes that would make Liberace blush. So here's your enticement...what if two dimwitted, Harm City leg-breakers got their hands on one of these garish pretty boys? What if the black-clad, vigilante/hero tangled with Kebmo and Ray-Ray from North Avenue and lost the fight? What if our violent leads decide to take this costumed freak apart, torturing him mercilessly until they realize that he's part of a larger network of do-gooding vigilantes? And upon keenly disposing of their latest victim, our boys decide to do away with all superheroes?
"Let's kill every last one of these costumed fucks!"
There it is. Show no mercy. If anyone can illustrate how stupid you'd have to be to put on a mask and go fight crime in downtown Baltimore, it's you, James!
According to the terms of this challenge I must answer with a story between 1,000-3,000 words within 48 hours. It is 6:52 a.m. 12/15/14. I must post my Kebmo and Ray-Ray story, which I have already titled 'Dat Gay ATV' by 6:52 a.m., 12/17/14—or I suck!
