The morning moved by in excruciatingly slow motion, and it had nothing to do with Becca’s super speed. It was an unnatural phenomenon of reality. The more you were looking forward to something, the more time seemed to drag, and the less you didn’t want to do something the quicker […]
Mason made it to the combat cell door with about ten seconds to spare. He wasn’t breathing heavy from exertion, a strongman didn’t tire that easily, but he was definitely stressed. Once he stepped into that room it was the real beginning of his Hero career. If he made it […]
Daisy watched the monitors in the viewing room with the handful of students who’d finished their first round fights. It hadn’t been more than ten minutes since the students stood united against the evil instructors, but now there were clear separations. Those who’d lost tended to group together in silence, […]
Angela watched as one by one her dorm mates failed to advance to the third round. The second round bye was a blessing in disguise. At first she’d been eager to get back into the ring. Her first match with Seth was…disappointing. Angela knew she’d made an enemy in him, […]
