"I'm only a man in a funny red sheet"

I think I just ran out of road.

This is not a fork, because I don't have much choice. Simpler times saw me in a cape as I waved my shiny sword and shield. I was happy. I was a him, a him that I saw on TV and read about in books. Killing was easy, it was fun and clean. Witches, bewildered by my mastery of magic, throned me as King of their little cozy house. I lived as a big smile, and every night, I slept noisily in a room decorated with heads of slain dragons.

.... I used to fly.

Dragons turned out to be the least of my worries.

I can't fly, any more.

  2. i think that superman will remain with his awesomness in the eyes of all the people he saved once no matter what whether he wants to fly or not whether he can or not...superheroes never stop being awesome and super...they just randomly take a pause in the development process to come out later with the modified challenging version...this is how i always saw evolution of super heroes generally
    did that make any sense...dont know doesn't matter awy
