Episode III
Marcia Silverberg stared out her dorm room window. Yet another afternoon doing homework. This isn't how I thought college would be, she thought to herself.
Granted, she knew there would be lots of work. But she just knew that something exciting would happen to her once she hit a four year university. She'd even saved up the money to live in the dorm so she could be closer to the action instead of stuck 5 miles away at home.
But instead of the exciting, world changing stuff she thought would happen, she just spent day after day working on homework. If something doesn't happen soon, I may just quit and go to work. Might as well. I'm just wasting my time around this joint.
Sighing, she turned back to her book and starting reading again about the US Civil War.

Shorter than the others, but still seemed to fit in nicely. I like how the exposition is being set up.

This story takes a while to get off the ground, but by the time we get to Episode XIX it will be exciting.
Thanks Chris.
Yeah, I couldn't believe when I wrote XVIII that we were that far already!
I was rather surprised at how short this chapter was when I went to post it over here. Glad you liked it.
Sooo, can it be that Dennis, Gerald and Marcia are going to have some joint, freak-of-nature accident and ALL become superheroes who take on the villians? This is building nicely.
See, guys, I told you that someone without access to the profiles would view the story differently.
Yeah, you're right. But that is fine. Suspense is good, and if any misinterpretation happens then the truth will just be that much more surprising. :-)
