Brief Author Bio:

"The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.”

Synopsis: What I Am

In the mid fifties certain people started to emerge as a complex race of individuals with powers beyond human comprehension. These inhuman attributes started to run rampant among parts of the world, each one of them having the belief that he would be the first thing to rule the world. This is when those that were good in nature decided to step in, and soon these ‘heroes’ outweighed the ‘villains’, which resulted in a peace for some time. As humans tend to do sometimes they abused their rights to a peaceful society, as they mistreated, and persecuted those who had sworn to protect them. So, in an act of self preservation these ‘heroes’ decided that they were no long to be the guardians of the human race if all they were going to do was become their little guard dogs. Perhaps it was selfish, but they never held back on their terms, and it took humans much time to cope with the sudden loss of their protectors.

Many years went by, and humans had learned to accept this race of people as well as cope with those who wreaked havoc on the world. As for those other people, they started to blend into humanity, using their gifts to make everyday life easier, and becoming as normal as possible at the same time. Some work as doctors, as lawyers, soldiers, police officers, and a thousand other jobs, but none venture to vigilante as they once did.

One of these people, a man who feels he has been given a rough life has been given one of these extraordinary gift that he feels is hardly worth the pain it’s caused in his life. Still, he goes about life day to day, until a serial murderer begins to leave him messages on the corpses that he leaves behind, all of them addressed to his name, the police begin to investigate who he is, and what it is he can do. When an oddly seductive woman meets him at his door one day, he seems to get sucked into this mystery without any hope of pulling himself away. This man who wants nothing less than to be a hero, has been forced into becoming one as he fights to stop these murders, and put this man behind bars. That is, if the man killing doesn’t find him first.
