Flash Fiction #83 – Apexman

Flash Fiction #83 – Apexman

“Wow, what a view,” says the man dangling in Apexman’s arms.

​

The man smiles as they soar,

unbecoming of a human who just jumped out of a 30-story building. ​
​

“Would you mind going that direction? I’m supposed to be meeting a friend.”

​

Another fake jumper.

Apexman has become an amusement ride.

All the Superheroes have.

Solving problems for weak humans,

unwilling to solve their own.

​

He lets the man go,

watches him fall.

​

It’s only to scare him, Apexman tells himself,

but he never soars down to catch him.
