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.
