So they hung up their dress, in this remote and empty land, and ran off into the grasses, feeling happy and free. Free from the restraints of society, free as the day they were born, free from judgment and modest, yes...

... And then almost immediately came running back for their clothes, because DAMN, but they weren't free from the COLD.

Cheers!

...and as the laser battle intensified around them, Jill and Kevin hugged each other close, knowing it would probably be their last, and each regretting the decision to vacation here...

In Laser Town

Mount-Olympus

The ship came to earth in a trail of glowing green, like so much man-made fiction. Some would call it a harbinger.

All would eventually despair.

Contemplation

Comment:
He gazed up at the King of Beasts. Oh, how he would love to have that power. Oh how he would love to have that life. Nobody telling him what to do, when to hunt, how to avoid danger. Just strut around like he owned the place. Oh, it would be so grand.

Yet in his envy and his desire, he never did see the sadness in the eyes of the King of Beasts, and failed to recognize that perhaps another's life isn't necessarily greater than one's own, no matter what the decorations of the package.

Poor Charles never saw it coming. From out of the mists, striking with a speed and ferocity unmatched, the dreaded (and, some thought, mythical) Hammerheaded Hawk attacked.

Look to the Heavens

The King of Beasts looked up to the heavens. The most powerful in the jungle. The Tyrant of the Savannah, The Prince of the Pride.

So why, why did he have to put up with all the nagging from HER. "I do all the hunting, cooking, cleaning, raise the cubs, patrol the grounds, yadda yadda yadda." How he wished she would just shut up!

King indeed, and there were FIVE of them.

Not for the first time, he wished he had been born a Hyena.

10th Street at Dawn

In the wake of their team's dismal start to the shortened season, fueled by anger over the lock-out and subsequent ongoing labour dispute, the Fans of the city of Calgary finally turned their team's nickname literal. They were the Flames, and so the Saddledome burned.

Morning Catch

Although one might think it would be an incredible talent, Jim's ability to fish in Super-speed never really amounted to much. Indeed, he was the laughing stock of the Superhero community.

Then again, at least he wasn't George, he of the ability to project an orange dot on the wall.

The Art of Landing

Charise just rolled her eyes and shook her head. Every time. EVERY time. As soon as the photographer showed up, Arnold would inevitably try to show off with "Jazz Hands".

She sighed, what was worse is that he thought everyone was laughing WITH him.

A School of Puffins!

"... And then, you won't believe it, after he saved the nest, after he saved it, he, I'm serious, he FLEW away. He flew! Like a super-hero! I'M SERIOUS."

They all just looked at him, and blinked a few times, but nobody ever had the heart to tell him. They had to hear a new story like this every day, but they could never bring themselves to tell him.
