Hero No. 25

Heroes belong to the public, but what happens if you never aspire to be owned.

 

'Harrold' never wanted to be a hero. The fame and adoration just aren't worth the sacrifice: identity, and eventually, life. So, instead, he curates a life in mediocrity, hiding in plain sight. And it was all going according to plan, until he meets Millie, the colorful artist with way too many bags. As soon as she sees him, he knows his life will never be the same.

"The largest hill of detritus unfolded itself from the floor. Rags in every shade of grey hung in tattered icicles from the creature’s body."
