A short story of mine – a slightly awkward New Journalism-inspired piece – is up online at Crab Fat Literary Magazine.
Unmasked! is an expose of the long-since retired superhero as he at long last reveals his true identity to the world.
I’m quite pleased with this piece, but I’ve been sitting on it for a while. It’s such an odd little number that it’s been hard to place with a publication. (Naturally, a magazine called Crab Fat seemed the logical solution.)
Great piece. Felt like you knew the old boy yourself. Great names for the villain – Dr. Hydrogen / Samuel Sherkov. The whole thing felt like the tip of an iceberg. Well done.

Thank you so much! I really, truly appreciate that you think it felt like the tip of an iceberg; that is definitely what I was going for! I wanted there to feel like there is so much implied but unsaid. Thanks again 🙂
